Libby Found Guilty

[shinerbock]

Yeah, it does seem pretty common. I too doubt Bush will pardon him soon, but his appeal should eat up a fairly substantial bulk of time. I don't want him to do it immediately, but I think he should do it if his appeal doesn't work. Its not like he's got a lot of political capital on the line.

The challenge is going to be keeping Libby out of prison pending appeal. I don't practice federal criminal law, but I don't think that's the way it usually works.
