Fitzgerald: Libby deserves 2-3 years in prison.

“Former White House aide I. Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby betrayed the public’s trust and deserves to spend 2 1/2 to 3 years in prison for obstructing the CIA leak investigation, Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said Friday.”

“Particularly in a case such as this, where Mr. Libby was a high-ranking government official whose falsehoods were central to issues in a significant criminal investigation, it is important that this court impose a sentence that accurately reflects the value the judicial system places on truth-telling in criminal investigations,” Fitzgerald wrote in court documents.

U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton has broad discretion over Libby’s fate. Walton faces two important questions: whether to send Libby to prison and, if so, whether to delay the sentence until his appeals have run out.

Libby’s lawyers have not filed their sentencing documents yet but are expected to ask that he receive no jail time.

or is this the Friday afternoon news dump?

he'll be someone's boyfriend in prison, yes, I'm taking odds.

25 to life is what he deserves for treason, which is what he really did.

And that's only because I am against the death penalty.

Now, for second lunch.

That traitor deserves life in prison.

Fuck all of Bushco.
