I doubt that Libby will squeal. The trial won't get underway for several months, and will drag out for some time- even without any amazing stalling on the part of Libby's lawyer.

I expect Bush will simply pardon Libby on his way out of the WH, and he won't see so much as a day in jail. After all, Bush Sr. did something similar for Reagan's criminals, and he didn't even suffer much public criticism.

Besides- Libby's indictment is an enormous blow to the Bush Administration. This criminal indictment is opening up ALOT of debate that I never expected to hear on US television. I just heard someone on CNN talking about what this indictment says about the Iraq invasion, clearly suggesting that the Bush Administration lied us into war.

And do you know what else? Let's be honest- Rove is a fucking idiot anyway. It's not like Bush is going to be on top again because he gets to keep his illusionist. He was with the Bush team on 9-10-01, too- you know. Back when Bush's approval was in the toilet. Bush has been skating on 9-11 all this time, and that is *over*.

If you're right, I will tip my hat to you- but right now I'm feeling pretty good about a Libby indictment.
