June 14, 2007, 12:36 p.m.Walton made the remarks as he opened a hearing into whether to delay Libby's 2 1/2-year sentence. He said he was holding the letters in case something happened but said they would have no effect on Thursday's decision.

"Then Justice would be done. Libby was railroaded, and never charged with the crime that never happened. I pray this is turned on appeal, it will serve that political hack, Fitzgerald right."

June 14, 2007, 10:58 p.m.It's another case of repug extremism. Intimidation and cover ups, if caught, is their trade mark. They have been running this country amuck for the past going on 7 years. We only have to look at emperor Dumbya brushing aside the Constitution to get his evil little ways. Now they are trying threaten the upholders of the law. Reminds me of when the repugs in congress declared war on the Judges who sided with the Florida husband a while back in taking away the life support system of his wife. It just shows they ( repugs) have no respect for the Constitutional Law that guides America...Like emperor GW always say "this is my government and I'll run it the way I see fit",,,all hail emperor GW !!!!!!!!!

June 14, 2007, 11:12 p.m.I hope the next president whoever it is (a democrat I hope) will investigate all of Bush's cronies and put them all on trial. Throw them all in jail. I wouldn't go after Bush because he is such a whimp he wouldn't last a minute in prison.

June 14, 2007, 11:44 p.m.I actually feel a twinge of sympathy for Libby. While I think that he did lie under oath and it was him who leaked Plame's name, I'm convinced he did it with the full approval (and probably under the instructions) of his boss. If anybody should be facing prision rime, it's Dick Cheney.

June 15, 2007, 1:16 a.m.News Flash for dorks: Within the first two weeks of his investigation, the important facts were learned by Fitzgerald. Guidelines set forth in the Intelligence Identity Protection Act had not been broken. There was nothing illegal in Robert Novak mentioning Valerie Plame in his article or anyone telling him who she was. Further, Novak testified that he learned of her identity from Richard Armitage, number two man at the State Department and no close friend to President Bush. Fitzgerald told Novak that he knew his source was Armatage as he had already come forward. Armitage was guilty of nothing more than gossip.You would think that the investigation was over considering there were no crime and no reason for anyone to lie about anything. This was a hunt for any non-truth in order to convict any official possible in the Bush White House. This is why Democrats want everyone to testify under oath and no other reason. Libby got screwed. And you worry about the Patriot Act?
