With the verdict (finally) in, we should expect a torrent of posts over the next couple of days. In the meantime, here are standouts from the past few days:

Over at TalkLeft, Jeralyn offers a couple of posts pondering the significance of the jury’s clarification request on reasonable doubt.

Melissa Lafsky at The Huffington Post explores whether perhaps Libby’s attorney’s botched his chances for acquittal.

And at FDL, emptywheel follows the “breadcrumbs” of jury questions while Jane Hamsher smells an imminent verdict.

Stop by tomorrow for a roundup of post-verdict analysis.

Please Congress, let this give you the incentive to open up that can of worms and torch them all!

Any bets on whether he'll be the subject of a Presidential pardon?

I'd say they'll probably wait at least until appeals are exhausted before they try to do something that would play so poorly among the electorate.  Part of me hopes that, in the end, even if CheneyCo decide they want to pardon, that the party will intervene and prevent it.  Good luck getting the GOP back into office after pardoning a criminal insider!  On the other hand, I suppose they couldd wait until the interim following the election (just before 2009) just like Clinton, Bush, Reagan et al did.
