Nevertheless Armitage was Novak's source. He announced to the press minutes after Libby was convicted that he was Novak's source, and that Fitz had obliged both he and Powell to remain silent during the course of the "investigation" with the threat of prosecution should he talk. With Libby's trial over, he considered he was no longer required to remain silent, and announced with great disgust his involvement, and that Fitz knew it from the very first day.
That admission ought to have got Libby off and Fitz disbarred, but absolutely no one was interested.
That detail remains largely forgotten.
Scooter Libby should have conducted a unilateral duel with Fitzy-Boy - without telling him or allowing him a weapon...
I have long wanted to be POTUS and name Libby as chief of staff and with that stick a finger in the Dims eye.
