Four Out of Five

The jury came back this morning and found Scooter Libby guilty of four of the five charges against him. Details to come (altho apparently, one of the four WAS the obstruction charge... so this should be good.... deep-fried Cheney, anyone?)

Here are the four charges Libby was convicted on:

* obstruction of justice when he intentionally deceived a grand jury investigating the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame;

* making a false statement by intentionally lying to FBI agents about a conversation with NBC newsman Tim Russert;

* perjury when he lied in court about his conversation with Russert;

* a second count of perjury when he lied in court about conversations with other reporters.

Libby faces a probable sentence of one-and-a-half to three years in prison when he is sentenced by U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton.
