Rove and Armitage have already admitted to leaking and no charges. Is Libby going to be able to prove they knew she was covert, given he has just been convicted for lying?

Cheney is more of a long shot they have very little on him. Libby’s testimony won’t be worth much, so unless he has some memo’s squirreled away . .

Libby more likely to wait for pardon then make a deal anyway?

Another problem is Plume was not stationed overseas so not actually covert for purposes of the one law (I forget its name), and some think Fitz does not want to try to use older laws since that would then be used against anyone who leaks (even good reasons) in the future.

So, it effects any parent with kids… TOO BAD. They have a duty now – this is why people dont like jury duty, it can go on forever and is unpredictable. I am certain that the teachers could find time next week to meet with them – even if all 11 of them have kids in school, its a tiny fraction of the student body’s population, and its not like they dont have a good reason to not attend !!

LOCK THEM UP FOR THE WEEKEND.

I take it that you’ve never been on a jury.

“Locking them up for the weekend” would only make them pissed off, and an jury that is angry about having to serve is not good for the prosecution.

I also take it that you don’t have kids, or have ever had (or know) anyone with health problems. Parent/teacher conferences, like doctor’s appointments (which apparently one of the juror’s has today) can indeed be rescheduled, but rescheduleing can mean a month plus wait for the new appointment/conference. Personally, I’m unconfortable telling someone with a kid in a public school, or someone with a heart problem or someone who is pregnant or someone with diabetes, that they should wait a month because they have a “duty”. A “duty” to what? To appease my impatience? The jury is in no way whatsoever neglecting their duty to the court by taking three hours off. These people also have a duty to their families.

Yes, people don’t like jury duty, and it’s not just because it goes on forever and is unpredictable. They also hate it because it interferes with pesky little problems like parenting and taking care of their health. HOW DARE the jury ask for three hours to worry about silly stuff like that.

LOCK THEM UP FOR THE WEEKEND.

clearer pic next thread!

I hate to agree, but I am starting to get the feeling that this jury is having it too easy. Again, Libby is being charged ONLY with the perjury in relation to the GJ and the FBI lies. He is not being charged with the outing of Valerie Plame! I can’t remember what the excuse was for leaving early (school conference or whatever). But my question is, was that meeting/appointment/whatever so damn important that it could not be re-scheduled?!?!?! C’mon!!

Today is school conference day for the entire DC Public School Board. Not likely they can reschedule that. And it will affect any juror with kids in school.

And FWIW, if you like Tim Russert and Colin Powell led away in chains, my stories have GREAT endings. Yet inexplicably, no one seems to like that as much.

Morning, all. I’m expecting today to not be the day, but I certainly wouldn’t mind being wrong.

A couple of days ago, Marcy said she was going to tell us about her conversation with Fitz, and then she never did, unless she posted it in comments somewhere. Did she do that, and I missed it, or did she never write about it?

Marcy has been maintaining a gentlewomanly reticence about that conversation. Hmm…

Utterly outdated.

Spill!

Hey Marcy….If you are not going to tell us about the conversation, pleeeeeeeaaaaase at least tell us that you are NOT going to spill it.
