"I must say I don't see the web of lies they say occurred."
You're right, there is none. The only thing that is shown is Fitz new early on that he had no case against anyone on IIPA (Intel Identity Protection Act). So Fitz spent the last year and a half trying to trap someone in perjury. He was able to come up with a weak case against Libby based on reporter's testimony whose memories appear to be no better than Libby's. Immaterial misstatements on no underlying crime is not perjury. Fitz knows he is on the ropes...the question is does he do the right thing and drop the charges or does he fight it out like a cornered frightened animal (only to lose in the end anyway)????
So he used the power and authority of the US Government to conduct a sting operation that he limited to the White House? One has to wonder where the outrage is over this abuse of power except of course if one is a liberal who knows no limits when it comes to their political enemies.
