I agree .. appeal insurance. Fitz was/is out of his gourd.
Brace yourselves, folks, this is going to be UGLY (not that it wasn't already)..... Fitzfong is going to be a hero to the deranged left and they will all be after Cheney more than ever. Fitzfong will try to put Libby in prison right away pending appeal, in order to up the pressure on Libby to cut a deal....... the psychotic left will be howling for more blood.
I'm sure the appeal notice is drafted and will be filed right after any guilty verdict.
That's because "Fitz" is a DEMOCRAT, although the MSM will never mention that very telling fact.
