When you get indicted by a fed prosecutor you are done. I am too lazy to look up the stats right now but I remember from the Libby case that Fed prosecutions end up in conviction like 90%+ of the time. And when you get convicted of a federal crime you go to jail. They don't waste hundreds of thousands and political capital for probabtion.
