"since Wilson has been shown to be a liar, I'm not sure where any of this stands in the eyes of Fitzgerald."

I don't think Fitz is at all concerned with Wilson's lies and inconsistencies, unless they can be found to have a direct bearing on the matter at hand, i.e., the leak of Plame's identity. Fitz is not investigating either the administration's or Wilson's veracity regarding the Niger yellow cake story, in particular, or the Iraq war in general; he is just investigating the leak.

he is just investigating the leak.



are you sure?
IIRC Ken Starr was not investigating stains and dresses


I do not know the answers but I like post #18

Actually, I have no idea what he's investigating...he was given the freedom to go wherever the facts led. I would think it might be a little bit interesting to Fitzgerald that one of the lead actors (Wilson) is on record referring to documents that didn't exist at the time of his trip, claimed he was sent by Cheney and provided a report that he said he knew went directly to Cheney.

If Wilson was off feeding his story, first anonymously and then in full view, using information from his wife to spice up his story and maybe her name as well to establish his credibility, then again, I think Fitzgerald might find that important.
