I"m trying to keep up today, but have a dozen things going on.

Same here.

Maybe some kind soul will come along and give us the Cliff Notes until we can read it all later.

Cliff notes--no way, but I will say this:

A number of reporters have testified that Libby did NOT discuss Plame with them during the critical period--Thus, the proseutor's theory that Libby was at the heart of a conspiracy to "out" 007 V. Plame is FOS.

Also, the discussions between Walton and the lawyers has been of interest. Defense wants to put in evidence of Libby's routine security briefings to show he was very busy with very important matters, and the prosecution stipulated early on that Libby was involved daily in a number of different such areas.

Now, the judge says, "well, when the prosection made that deal it was with the understanding that Libby would testify, right?" The defense says, "We had no such deal" the prosecution says, "Yeah, Judge, that's the ticket. We had an understanding, and we want to back out if he does not testify"

Defense says, "We have relied on the stipulation and there was no deal about Libby testifying"

It looks like Walton is out to cover Fitz-fong's backside on this.
