How Can Pressure Be Put On Libby To Turn And Talk........
Will Fitz put any pressure on Libby?

Can the American people put pressure on Libby? I think if he waits this out and takes a pardon - my understanding is a pardon is an admission of guilt. Will he be able to practice law again if he gets a pardon?

Now on the other hand if Libby turns and talks - and if he does it the right way - he could go down as a kind of patriot that rethought his position, on the war and the wrongs that were committed by this administration - and decided to put a stop to it.

Can we work on his conscience and get him to feel responsible for the deaths in this lied into war - and the continuing deaths that will come if he accepts a pardon and walk.

Any thoughts.

Can Gold Star Moms put pressure on him.

3. best bet is FAST jail time....
as Libby sits in jail, he and his wife will brood.

As long as he's out of jail, there isn't enough hardship to make him do it.

So please Fitz, get his ass in jail ASAP.

5. he is not getting 25 years. and the threat of being killed and hated by his peers
is probably weighing pretty heavily, dont you think?

6. Actually, we don't know what he's getting. I've read it could be up to
25 years, which is why I typed that.

4. I don't think he'll ever turn.
He'll eat this and wait for the pardon. He'll never turn on his masters.
