There's surely not much new that can be said about the 22 page indictment of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.
A correspondent of Andrew Sullivan's offers an analysis that seems persuasive, and highlights something that can be said in another way: these things—scandals, history more broadly—take some time to unfold. I wasn't around for Watergate, but let's look it up; E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy (not to be confused with his counterpart down the keyboard, Libby) were indicted in September 1972, and it took until August 1974 for Nixon to resign.
Like other investigations and scandals this one will wax and wane in the news cycle before it comes to its full conclusion.
