Maybe, just maybe, the papers will show that Fitzfong knew all along about Armitage and the trial should have never gone on. In that case, Scooter’s conviction would be null and void! Correct?

Nope. Scooter wasn't convicted for being the leaker. Scooter was convicted of pejury during the investigation into the leak.

There never should have been an investigation at all as soon as Plame's status was confirmed as not matching the outting of spys statute. However, when Scooter was under oath answering questions put to him by the FBI, it doesn't matter if the investigation ends up going nowhere, he was still (wrongfully in my eyes) convicted of perjury.
