@emptywheel great article except ur an idiot who totally missed the truth. Richard Armitage is the one who leaked Plame. Patrick Fitzgerald knew that at the start of the investigation and yet didn't charge Armitage because it didn't fit his political goal of getting Dick Cheney https://twitter.com/sethamandel/status/985571422419456001 …
It's not pertinent to the fact that Libby obstructed an investigation into whether Cheney ordered him to leak Plame's ID, which the evidence introduced at trial overwhelmingly supported he did.

"Fitzgerald ..didn't charge Armitage because it didn't fit his political goal of getting Dick Cheney" Fitzgerald didn't charge Libby's boss because Libby obstructed justice and lied under oath. He did get Illinois Gov. George Ryan, a Republican, on corruption, 6.5yr sentence.pic.twitter.com/3CnBtEq873

I think it's a rule of thumb that Illinois state politicians spend time in jail.
