DC Jury Convicts Ham Sandwich

Libby Found Guilty in CIA Leak Trial (Hat tip: Salivating orgasmic drive-by media).

Former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was convicted Tuesday of obstruction, perjury and lying to the FBI in an investigation into the leak of a CIA operative's identity.

Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, was accused of lying and obstructing the investigation into the 2003 leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity to reporters.

He was acquitted of one count of lying to the FBI.

Libby had little reaction to the verdict. He stood expressionless as the jury left the room.

The verdict was read on the 10th day of deliberations. Libby faces up to 30 years in prison, though under federal sentencing guidelines likely will receive far less.

What he should receive is time served, as in nothing, zero, zip, zilch, nada.

The Clintons pardoned terrorists, drug dealers and fugitives. I think a guy who didn't do anything certainly deserves a pardon.

Immediately.
