Libby Resigns

Both CNN and FAUX NEWS are reporting that Libby has resigned his post as Cheney's chief of staff. From CNN I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, resigned on Friday after federal grand jury indicted him on charges related to the CIA leak investigation. From Faux FOX News has learned that Libby stepped down as Cheney's chief of staff just minutes after the indictment was handed down. A replacement will be named as early as Saturday. The vice president's office will release a statement and President Bush is expected to remark on the case in the afternoon. Well this is a start at least. I am anxious to hear what Fitzgerald has to say at his press conference. Right now by the sound of things, he has only just begun. I suspect a new Grand Jury will be empanelled, although this is not really a necessity since he can continue investigating without one but that seems highly doubtfull and could lead to those being investigated crying "foul" and "out of control Prosecutor". Fitzgerald is to thorough to open himself to that kind of smear which would inevitably come from the right-wing crime enablers. You can read the entire indictment from The Smoking Gun
