30 Years Max Sentence, $1.25M Max Fine...

If convicted, Libby, 55, faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison and a $1.25 million fine. The charges accuse Libby of lying to FBI agents who interviewed him on October 14, 2003, and November 26, 2003, committing perjury while testifying under oath to the grand jury twice in March 2004, and engaging in obstruction of justice by impeding the grand jury's investigation.

Fitzgerald dismissed as "false" Libby's story that he learned about Wilson's wife from reporters. "He was at the beginning of the chain of phone calls, the first official to disclose this information outside the government to a reporter. And then he lied about it afterwards, under oath and repeatedly," Fitzgerald said.
