Having none of it the VP and his staff set out to find out who this guy was, (because the MSM were asking him if he sent Wilson), and ultimately discovered his wife sent him.
In the process of answering press questions, a State Dept employee, Armitage told a reporter, and the reporter printed it.
Libby, who was charged by the VP to find out who and what this Wilson guy was, answered all press questions, answered all law enforcement questions, went before the grand jury numerous time answering questions, (which he did not have to do) with contemporaneous notes, that differed from the vaunted Tim Russerts “memory”.
The DC jury believed reporters, and Tim Russert, what a surprise, lol.
Simple story, of course manufactured into a crime by the leftwing MSM.
Plus the chairman of the jury was a leftist reporter who hates Bush, and the judge was a corrupt Democrat stooge--par for the course for DC, where Fitz made sure the case would be heard.
