If Libby is Cheney’s Cheney, who was Libby before he was Cheney? Said another way, if you will, I wonder if Libby is tired of being Cheney.

Everytime one of Libby’s nervous cohorts tells him, “We’ll get throught this” Libby must think “Our a$$ is not on the line, that my a$$ on the line not yours”

Imagine this case being Fitz’s most high profile case even though he’s proseuting crime bosses and al Quida leaders.

I keep thinking about jr. & tonite’s speech, in re same sorta situation. Betting he feels hung-out-to-dry, as it were, after no-doubt being promised a free ride to fame ‘n glory at the beginning of this reign. Keep wanting to ask him, “How’s that workin’ out? Havin’ fun yet?” Not that I feel the slightest ping of pity for the chap. Impeachments still sound totally proper to me… Golly we old people can be stubborn(!) ;->

Neglected to thank you downstairs *hangs head*

You’re awesome! ;->

I’ve been on three juries and the restriction against taking notes drove me crazy all three times – I just think better if I take notes.

And in one of those trials, there were a couple of simple questions that would have been really helpful – we wasted a ton of time in deliberation on what the answers might have been.

Jeffress is another of the Libby defense attorneys, from the Baker Botts law firm in D.C. [Wells is based in NYC.]

Just a quick post to support Debra Bonamici who has been a brilliant AUSA here in Chicago. TeamFitz is very lucky to have her on board.

I second your sentiment, as a disinterested observer: those simple, specific, and clear (proposed) jury instructions crafted by Debra Riggs Bonamici, et al, are a thing of beauty, and will definitely lighten the load on the jurors during their deliberations.

Imagine this case being Fitz’s most high profile case even though he’s proseuting crime bosses and al Quida leaders.

I respect Fitz, especially what he is doing to clean up corruption in Illinois, and I think this is an awful position to put him in. After all, his bosses are ultimately Alberto Gonzales and George Bush. Fitz is an excellent, non-political U.S. Attorney, but his public career will very likely be either shortened or ended because of this case – and that’s a shame.

I also think he had to draw this case so narrowly that the only real way we are going know how we got into the war is by congressional testimony … so let’s go Dems.
