Looks to me like Fitz "thinks" that Libby deliberately lied to the investigators and the GJ and made up his story specifically to ensure he could not be charged with the leak. Note that Fitz asked Libby whether he said what he said because he knew of the law against disclosing a covert operative's identity. Libby said, no, I said it because that's what happened.

I really cannot believe that Libby would so blatantly lie to an investigator and to a grand jury while under oath, unless he really thought all the reporters he talked to would refuse to testify forever. And if he did, why would he give them a waiver to testify? Either Libby lied or Cooper and Russert lied.

And let's all make sure we are being consistent with what we wanted for Martha Stewart. She did the same thing. Lied to investigators because she believed (mistakenly as it turned out) that she had committed a crime.

And Fitz is not a hack or a moron - that paragraph is supported by some evidence. That's all it needs for the indictment.

......Either Libby lied or Cooper and Russert lied.

Exactly my thought. I find no problem believing that 2 reporters would lie to cover their butts.
