Obstruction for What?
Libby is charged with lying about a crime that wasn't committed.

Last I checked a bj wasn't a crime.

Precisely. So what were your thoughts about Clinton's impeachment? And
how
do they jive with your eagerness to see Libby burn for a non-crime?

Oh for ****'s sake Toothy!

Clinton lied about an embarrassing bj.

Libby lied about the outing of a CIA agent.

Libby is *accused* of lying.

So, if there was no crime or misuse of power, why did Libby testify the
way he did?

Why would Libby say something that directly contradicts his own notes?

Perjury isn't something that's taken lightly by federal prosecutors.

Would you tell a different story than what you know is in your own notes
about the details being investigated?

If you'd like to wait until after he's gone to trial to find out whether
he did lie, so be it but don't bitch about the outcome beforehand.

If he's accused and not-guilty he'll get off. If he's convicted or plea
bargains then we'll know he lied and I'll once again ask the question,

Why would he lie?
