A Libby Plea, and presidential pardon, to avoid a trial? This from the LAT:
The special prosecutor signaled in his court filing last week that he intended to call several former Bush aides as witnesses against Libby, including former Secretary of State Colin L. Powell and former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer — raising the specter of court proceedings that could lay bare the inner workings of the White House.
"I can't imagine this case going to trial," [former Reagan era prosecutor Joseph E.] DiGenova said. "You'll see a pardon first."
