"conduct related to testimony during investigation, not for leak itself"

[librechik]

damn on MSNBC

oh well--there will be more later

1. this is just a start

calm down ..... he was blocking the investigation because he
knew where it would go.

[soothsayer]

2. baby steps. wait until you see what comes out during the trial!

THAT's when they get to the good stuff. Or else he'll turn like an aspen and one by one the White House of Cards comes a tumblin' down.

[Straight Shooter]

3. No trial. He will plea bargain.

Too risky for the BFEE otherwise. Libby is a "good boy." That's my take on it, anyway. A trial would consume America. BFEE can't risk that.

5. But he doesn't get to set the terms of a plea bargain.

Libby will have to spill the beans on bushco to avoid the worst of it.

6. to be sure, if he doesn't get a deal, he'll plead no contest

thus shuting down a public airing of the motives behind the attack on Plame/Wilson

[Botany]

4. I hope the FBI is making sure "stuff" does not get

out of his office

[progressivebydesign]

7. I think that might be a precursor for good things to come

.. well, for us anyway. The leak is there and Libby is not charged for that. That tells me that Fitzgerald is not simply going to walk away from the actual leak, but pursue that now with Libby out of the way. No way Fitzgerald could walk away from a crime.
