New York Times:
WASHINGTON, June 5 - I. Lewis Libby Jr., once one of the most powerful men in government as Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, was sentenced today to two and a half years in prison for lying to a grand jury and F.B.I. agents who were investigating the unmasking of a C.I.A. operative during a fierce debate over the war in Iraq.
...Judge Walton did not set a date for Mr. Libby to report to prison. The judge said at first that he saw no reason for the defendant to remain free pending appeal, but he later agreed to accept briefs on that issue and rule later.
How soon before the pardon? My guess is that it will take a good long while before Libby is to report to prison... just long enough for the house of cards to fall and Chimpy to sign the pardon.

Libby's counsel asked for the Judge to consider his public service in exchange for a reduction in his sentance!
Sure we should reward you for lying and being involved in outing a CIA agent! Or maybe we should just give you a "scapegoat" sentance!
