I predict, on the “cooper” counts, 1 not guilty and hung jury on the the lying charge.

The other charges will have varying jury splits, but in the end, they will convict Libby of Obstruction, not on the evidence, but they, the jury, just had to get Cheney and Bush.

I agree, hung jury. The whole trial was a comedy of errors of other people who couldn’t remember details either.

He should get a flat acquittal and the prosecutor should be held up as an example and first prosecutor ever to be put on trial for his corruption during prosecution….

How’s that for strong feelings. Did anyone see Victoria Toensing’s article within the last week? I can’t remember where I saw it….. Sorry about that. She puts many people on trial and convicts them in one article. Pretty GOOD read.

In fact, Mr. Libby was the first official known to have told a reporter when he talked to Judith Miller in June of 2003 about Valerie Wilson. –Patrick Fitzgerald 10/28/2005

We now know that Fitzgerald already knew in 2003 that Libby was not the first official to tell a reporter, that would be Armitage. Fitzgerald is the one who should be on trial.

If they deliberate
