Agreed- which puts Libby/White House in a difficult position. If he took it to trial- he might well be found not-guilty. If he took it to trial it would ALSO keep this front and center for the libs/media for 3 years. So- Libby may have to take the hit and go to federal prison for a year or so?

Did you hear Greta say earlier that the judge it was sent to worries her... he's a hanging judge, goes for the full monty on sentences.

I think he's screwed. Fitzy has Libby's own notes that show he said something different than what he testified to. We are almost back to that guy who said he "lied to his notebook??!"

He might want to plead out.

However, if his lawyer thinks he can completely reconcile these--and we HAVE NOT heard his side of the story yet---and keep a jury focused (which will be the tough part), he might want to roll the dice and go to trial.

Remember, though, you will have 12 possibly not-so-bright people trying to follow convoluted stories of who said what to what reporter and then it's a crap shoot.
