The article actually whines that BillyJeff's friends hadn't yet achieved enough success to create a tangible defense fund for him!

Bless Mary Matalin .. she's been in there plugging for him all the way through, and also all his very notable and well-known friends and colleagues. So many of them have been out there and are very public in their loyalty and support to him. Says a lot.

Prayers for Scooter. The whole article's worth reading.

Scooter has a LOT of support ... PING!

Another Libby stalwart is former CIA director Jim Woolsey, who has known Scooter for years.

Now THAT's interesting.

The whiney tone to the article that you point out is notable. It has the whiff of the liberal concept of "Innocent until proven guilty, unless you're a Republican."

Wonder how long it will take for his lawyers to determine what their bill will be.

This trial got a lot of play on the loca news this AM.

Frankly, it enrages me.

In a just world, reporters would be encamped outside of the Clinton home demanding answers to the Sandy Burglar crime and it would be a 24/7 story.

Brand estimates that Libby will need an eye-popping $5 million to cover his legal costs, which also include a civil suit filed against him.

Five million dollars to fight this bogus charge? Incredible! Between Nifong in NC and Fitz it makes one very skeptical of the 'justice' system!

One of those friends is Dick Carlson, a former ambassador and Republican stalwart who has headed the Voice of America and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting

Also the host of The Danger Zone on 630WMAL in the DC area Sunday evenings.....

Out of control prosecutors like Fitzgerald should somehow be brought to heel, or made to pay professionally.

Consider: two border agents jailed for doing their job: three Duke students falsely accused; Scooter Libby prosecuted for nothing.

Such injustices should not stand.

[MinuteGal]

Fitzgerald, like Nifong was, is in so deep in this non-case that he can't get out. Libby's brilliant team of attornies will shred Fitz's case to powder.

Someone needs to step in and get Fitz out as in the Nifong case. Independent review of the case is glaringly called-for.

But don't look to AG Rip Van Gonzalez to intervene in the name of justice and truth.

Gonzalez still has two more years to go in his nap.

The sneer "well-heeled" comes through loud and clear.
