They may drag it out as long as possible, forcing alot of deliberation between lawyers about what classified information can and can't be used in the court, for instance... and then when it begins, bang- he pleads guilty and waits for Bush's last day in office and the pardon that will come with it.

The only problem is this:

That could mean more than two years in real prison for Scooter Libby. Do you think he can hold out waiting for a pardon for even that long? I can imagine him going into the pokey for a few months, but 2 or more years...? I don't know.

There may be some wheeling and dealing with Fitzgerald in Libby's future.
