That's what it looks like to me.....Russert recorded it. Don't know if it's legal or not.....
And so Russert has positioned himself center stage in this little drama. How convenient! The Dims will have visions of sugar plum fairies this Christmas. They'll be making incantations to their Dim deities that this may spin into getting the President for lying about the pretext for the war.
(Full transcript of Russert, after Fitzgerald's press conference, explaining his phone call from Libby:)

" MSNBC: So, your sole contact with Scooter Libby in the period in question here was he called to complain about programming, something that was said or covered on one of NBC’s cable news programs.
Russert: Correct. And that was the extent of it. I immediately, obviously, called to the president of NBC News and shared the complaint — which is why it was memorable in my mind.
And to the notion that I somehow was the recipient of a leak, which wasn't the case, or that I had shared information that I did not know — the first time I heard of Valerie Plame and the fact that she was a CIA operative is when I read Robert Novak's column the following Monday. "
(There's obviously a record, (not necessarily a recording) of Russert's call to NBC president describing Libby's call.)
Probably an 'selective' recording and what IF Libby also has a recording?
