Ping A Ling
Well, well, well. Thanks for the ping, Mo1, and boy am I glad I woke up and checked the threads! This is very interesting!
I'm glad you pinged some of the folks who are following this. I'll be interested in their take on why Novak chose now to respond, even if it is to just one specific allegation against him.
Novak's not just responding. He's denying the truth of what a CIA officer, Bill Harlow, testified to under oath. That's significant, isn't it? I mean, if a CIA official lied under oath, for sure he's going to get prosecuted for perjury. The same would hold true for Novak, but no doubt reporter Novak has the contemporaneous notes to prove his case. Not only that, Novak probably had a pre-existing agreement with Fitzgerald long before Harlow was called to testify, an agreement that would hinge on Novak's honesty.
I can understand Novak's desire to set the story straight, but Wilson is so thoroughly discredited, as well as those around him, that I'm surprised anyone takes him seriously at all.
