Sentencing should be interesting along with the "possibility" of a Presidential pardon.

Wow im amazed i really thought it be a mistrial...but it dont matter right p4b the president pardon will out do all that money spent...we all know theses guy are guilty as hell

I bet he gets a pardon. But it will be another tarnished mark on Bush's legacy. Now I wonder if this will lead into further investigation into the Bush administrations handling of the war and its critics. Libby lied, who else lied, and for what? Maybe this will start up some sort of congressional investagation.

Dick Cheneys gonna step down, Condi going to be VP...and libby will get the freedom medal....watch and see one of theses will come true

If he is smart, Bush won't pardon him and will try to put some distance between himself and the situation instead. Especially since the one who should really have been tried is Cheney. Offer up Libby as the sacrificial lamb.

Then again, when was the last time Bush did anything smart??

I'm not for a pardon at all but I bet it'll happen. It's the way things are run and HAVE been for quite some time. Look at the Nixon pardons, Fords, Clintons..the list goes on and on. It's a shame that this is abused so badly.

I predict that with the appeals process it takes this case to the end of Bush's term in which the pardon is granted. End of term, no personal repercussions.

Here's an example.....one of MANY:
In March 2000, Bill Clinton pardoned Edgar and Vonna Jo Gregory, owners of the carnival company United Shows International, for charges of bank fraud from a 1982 conviction (the couple were already out of jail, but the prior conviction prevented them from doing business transactions in certain states). First Lady Hillary Clinton's youngest brother, Tony Rodham, was an acquaintance of the Gregorys, and had lobbied Clinton on their behalf.[8] In October 2006, the group Judicial Watch filed a request with the U.S. Justice Department for an investigation, alleging that Rodham had received $107,000 from the Gregorys for the pardons, in the form of loans that were never repaid, as part of a quid pro quo scheme.[9]

Yeah clinton did his share of pardons of evil bastards... still think Janet Reno shouldve been brought to justice with what happen at Waco

So the jury knew it was more then just Libby. Maybe someone starts investigating the whole lot of them.

Juror: Libby is guilty, but he was fall guy
