Final Libby trial Videolog from Jane and Marcy

Here is the final Politics.com videolog from Jane Hamsher and Marcy Wheeler. They wrap it up and place the trial into political context, and Marcy mentions the media coverage of the trial.

Interesting to me is that I find the liveblogging of the rial was able to counter the fact that Libby had his own lawyer doing media reports for him. The bloggers countered Barbara Comstock and her spin.

Anyway, there is the videolog. Enjoy.

Guide to the Thursday (Feb 22) Libby Trial Live-blog

This is an index of links to the Firedoglake Libby Trial Liveblogging. I am trying to make it as easy as possible to go read the details of the trial. Do not refresh any more than necessary, as Firedoglake's server is being hit very frequently. That's why it is so slow to load or sometimes comes back reporting "Unable to Connect."

As before the links are in time sequence with the oldest at the bottom and the newest at the top. Since the testimony and arguments are over, the jury is now out. Liveblogging will be little more than an occasional note or observation until the jury returns with a verdict.

When you reach the end of each Firedoglake Libby trial post you will see a place for a credit card or an address to mail a check to. If you are reading this material, there is no money to pay for publishing it except donations or the pockets of Jane Hamsher and the bloggers, none of whom are wealthy.

Please contribute whatever you can afford.
