Libby will say ANYTHING to avoid conviction.
Let's not get too excited about Libby pointing fingers at this point. All he has to do is create doubt and confusion in the jury's minds to get acquitted. He doesn't have to prove anything; if he could have proved his innocence, Fitzgerald would not have indicted him in the first place.

6. I bet the former governor of Illinois thought that too....at first
turns out he was wrong....too.

Ex-Illinois governor Ryan indicted

CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- Former Gov. George Ryan was indicted Wednesday on federal charges of taking payoffs, gifts and vacations in return for government contracts and leases while he was Illinois secretary of state.

The investigation initially focused on bribes exchanged for licenses for unqualified truck drivers but was later expanded to a range of alleged bribery and other corruption in the Ryan era.

snip

"The charged conduct by former Gov. Ryan reflects a disturbing violation of trust," U.S. Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald said in a statement. "Ryan is charged with betraying the citizens of Illinois for over a decade on state business, both large and small."

Ryan became the 66th person charged in the investigation; 59 people and his campaign committee have been convicted so far.

Note the name of the prosecutor in that case, see anyone familiar? Also note how the investigation started and where it ended and how many were, in the end, charged.

Fitzgerald is thorough, methodical, brilliant and the bush gang are none of those things.

4. "Bring it on ... "
It's time for another installment of "Republicans Eating Their Own" (with a nod to the Stephanie Miller Show).

By the time this trial is done, KKKarl may be VOLUNTARILY frog-marching his way out of the White Haus.
