23. I was also very impressed with the video wrapups they did

at the end of nearly every day of testimony. Beat the hell out of most of the crap you see on the cable and broadcast news.

Thank you, thank you, Jane, Marcy, Pachatutec, Christy, et al. Amazing job!

[Joe Chi Minh]

28. Astute coverage, which enhanced it for some of us who would otherwise

have been unable to follow many of the implications of what was going on, what was being said.

[Jemmons]

Hey there, MI girl here–a little bit better prepared for the cold day out there than CA girl Jane.

I gotta say you, it was a pretty cool scene with Fitz and his team walking out of the court room. It made you believe, at least for this day, there was justice. I'm pretty happy about the events of the day. I'm relieved, more than anything else.

Fitz was his typical self, not saying more than he could. He will not do a report. Will not file further charges unless something new comes up. He will not give his materials to Congress unless they ask for it (Hey, John Conyers! Did you hear that?) He would not comment on a pardon. He said that if Libby wanted to plea, he would treat him like any other defendant. Which sounds like, if Libby really expects a pardon, the firewall will have worked.

Fitzgerald expressed both satisfaction and sadness. Which I guess is about right.  Satisfaction with the verdict. Sadness that it came to this.

22. Outstanding. Ground-breaking. Fascinating.

Thanks to all those great people over there!

[ThoughtCriminal]

24. Why is it that I always read it as

Fired-O-Glake

instead of

Fire-Dog-Lake?

[Jax]

25. Here's to Firedog

:toast: :yourock:

Stellar live blogging. Outstanding!!!

[pacalo]

26. Emptywheel's & Pach's courtroom observances kept me on the edge of my seat.

It will be fun to tune in to FDL's livetime reporting when the impeachment proceedings get underway.

:popcorn:

[Missy Vixen]

27. They are amazing

I don't think I have ever read coverage more complete and more detailed of any trial.

They did an outstanding job on a shoestring, and we owe them all our gratitude. I'd also like to, well, buy them a drink.

[Pastiche423]

30. Many, many, many thanks

to Jane, Marcy, Swopa, Pachacutec and all of Firedoglake!

The 1st place I went on the internets every day of the trial was Firedoglake for the incredible blogging.

[Cerridwen]

31. You betcha! Add my kudos to the list!

35. Supreme Job! They got oodles of "hits" from me

and lots of "refresh"es too!

Think about some of our Progressive blogs: FiredogLake took the lead in the Libby trial, sending actual people to cover the event and report back to us. They also did alot of work on-the-ground for Ned Lamont, and reported back to us.

TalkingPointsMemo has taken the lead in the US Attorneys Purge, doing investigative reporting, and getting leads when no one else got them. Josh Marshall has actual reporters who go out and get the job done. And, he reports to us.

AmericaBlog uses it's considerable influence and readers to "persuade" corporate sponsors to support tolerance in the workplace. John Aravosis has lead movements to threaten corporations that want to cave in to the the "religious right."

A Kos diaryist (diarist?) began a campaign to pressure business interests to withdraw their ads from Coulter's website.

Arianna Huffington is everywhere, doing everything. I have gained alot of respect for her during the past few years.

Anyway, our Progressive blogs are OUTSTANDING in their dedication to the cause!

36. They did a GREAT JOB! I was on there constantly, and really DID

try not to refresh very often.

None of us would have all the inside info if it wasnt for you guys...so a BIG THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[Synnical]

37. Absolutely, they kicked the MSM Ass!
