The Bureau of Prisons will decide when and where Mr. Libby will be “housed.” Judge Walton denied him bail during his appeals. Jeffrey Toobin is questioning the ruling on CNN. Firedoglake’s in-court bloggers quote Judge Walton: “He is not a flight risk or danger to the community, but I don’t see the issues raised as close, so I deny his request to be released pending appeal. I will allow him to self report, but unless I am overruled, he will have to report.” (I’ve been on the phone so please add any more information you’ve gotten in the comments.)
The Washington Post says he’ll head to prison “within weeks.” (Full story.) UPDATE: Leslie recommends ThinkProgress blog’s coverage and updates. TP’s latest update: “AP reports that Libby’s lawyers “will seek an emergency order delaying the sentence.”
