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