Libby's not charged with lying to reporters. He's charged with lying to the FBI and a grand jury about conversations he had with reporters and whether he remembered he knew about Plame's CIA ties from official (presumably classified) sources at the time of those conversations. Lying to the FBI and a grand jury is a crime. Lying to the media is usually not.

Patrick Fitzgerald hasn't lied about anything.

And just because Libby's charged with crimes that can put you in jail for up to 30 years doesn't mean Libby will receive a 30 year sentence if convicted.

The prosecution's case in chief is based on its star MSM witnesses. It contends they told the truth and Libby lied. It depends on whom you choose to believe. Sure, Libby told the FBI and Grand Jury a different version of events but differences of recollection don't usually add up to a lie. Fitzgerald has lied about equal treatment under the law. Can you name one prominent Clinton official in jail? I think it speaks for itself.
