BTW, don't forget Fitzgerald has another grand jury (it's reported as a separate grand jury) that also wants Judy Miller to testify.

That's the one looking into someone tipping off her and her colleague Philip Shenon that some Islamic charities were about to be raided.

Fitzgerald has stated flatly in his subpoena that they have discovered for a fact that Shenon received the information and told the charity on the eve of the raid and that this tip resulted in evidence being destroyed.

While it may be interesting what Fitzgerald is investigating, the fact remains that with respect to Judith Miller and Matthew Cooper there is only one issue that is in front of the courts. That is their direct contemptuous refusal to testify fully under oath. When they are ready to purge their contempt by testifying truthfully and completely, the matter will go away.

So, Wilson and Plame are now "Seinfeld's people", Hollywood darlings?

Really Want to Know? Ask Novak
By CAMPBELL ROBERTSON

eally Want to Know?

Ask Novak

"These are your people!" GRAYDON CARTER said to JERRY SEINFELD at State Supreme Court in Manhattan on Wednesday night.

We were at the party that Vanity Fair throws each year to celebrate the TriBeCa Film Festival, and the courthouse was a fantasyland: violet light filled the rotunda, tulips were arranged on the tables, and if some partygoers suddenly wanted to get divorced, all they had to do was hang around until the next morning.

Among the guests, er, Mr. Seinfeld's people, were NICOLE KIDMAN, ROBERT DE NIRO, DIANE VON FURSTENBERG, RACHEL WEISZ, BARRY DILLER, MICHAEL J. FOX, ELLEN BARKIN, JULIAN SCHNABEL, IMAN, DAVID BOWIE and LAUREN BUSH.

During the cocktail hour, we spotted a well-tanned JOSEPH C. WILSON IV, with VALERIE PLAME, the former C.I.A. operative, who was introduced to us by A PERSON FAMILIAR WITH THE COUPLE. A few minutes earlier, we watched Mr. Wilson have a long conversation with JOHN McENROE and PHIL DONAHUE, a threesome that couldn't have been arranged by a thousand monkeys randomly typing out guest lists. So we caught up with Mr. McEnroe, who told us it was the first time he had met Mr. Wilson.

"I had some bad press when I was young, but what he went through was 20 times worse than what I went through," Mr. McEnroe said, adding that he had once considered entering politics, but had changed his mind.

"I thought about it. But it's definitely a lot dirtier and uglier than I had anticipated. Commissioner, how are you?"

Well, how could she? After being so publicly "outed"?

Of course, a 4-color spread in Vanity Fair might've compromised her usefulness, as well...

1. Who would hire these losers to be CIA agents?

2. The press described her as a "blonde bombshell". She looks like my uncle with a badly dyed wig. Quite mannish.

I stand corrected. However, the original point is that she wrote the law, and she states that the law was not broken in the Plame case.

* Judith Miller :
More news on the NYT's Philip Shenon and Judith Miller: [snip] NY Times sues Justice Dep't over phone records First the Valerie Plame case, now a probe of an Islamic charity raid—the government just can’t get enough of New York Times reporter Judith Miller, only she doesn’t want to tell them anything. The paper yesterday sued the Justice Department in an effort to keep phone records for reporters Miller and Philip Shenon private. The paper was angered when Justice tried to obta[i]n the records, from the post-Sept. 11, 2001 period, directly from the phone company instead of the paper. The records are part of a Justice investigation into a raid on the Islamic charity Global Relief Fund. The government says that the reporters were tipped by a government source about the raid, a tip it believes was criminal. The Times insists that the reporters’ phone records should be kept private under reporters’ privilege.[/snip]-----NY Times sues Justice Dep't over phone records - MediaLifeMag (Sept 2004) 329 posted on 02/23/2005 8:17:20 AM PST by jriemer
