Right...Libby is not going to come out of this clean, until he's pardoned. Meanwhile, I agree..he has to cop a plea and hope the judge will go along with it. My point being that what with the judges in DC now, plus the climate of libnut-ism, Libby might not be able to cop an easy plea such as the one that rat Cisneros got.
I would love a lib judge to block a plea. We could run on that. Point out all the Democrat pleas that got through without challenge. Point out that the prosecutor they all heralded is for it. We could easliy paint all the lib activist judges as mean spirited and vindictive while at the same time point to all the previous Democrat criminals. Activist judges help us.
I would love the 2006 mid-term election to be defined by an activist judge. We win. Hands down. And Libby would still get off.
