The prosecution's case in chief is based on its star MSM witnesses. It contends they told the truth and Libby lied. It depends on whom you choose to believe. Sure, Libby told the FBI and Grand Jury a different version of events but differences of recollection don't usually add up to a lie. Fitzgerald has lied about equal treatment under the law. Can you name one prominent Clinton official in jail? I think it speaks for itself.

Not entirely. Even if a jury concludes Libby was not lying about the contents of his conversations with Russert and Cooper, Libby's lawyers need to argue that Libby wasn't lying when he said he didn't RECALL that he heard Plame's CIA ties from administration sources while he was speaking to Russert. The prosecution will argue that Libby must have remembered because he told Ari Fleisher and others about Plame's CIA ties a week or so before he spoke with Russert.

Currently in jail? No, But:
-Webster Hubbell went to jail for his dealings with the Rose Law Firm.
-The McDougalls went to jail for their role in Whitewater.
-Clinton HUD Secretary Cisneros pled guilty to a misdemeanor in connection with lying to the FBI about amounts paid to his mistress before, during and after his confirmation background check. He would have faced up to 100 years in prison, if convicted on all counts.
-Clinton Agriculture Secretary Espy was indicted in the Tyson Foods bribery probe but found not guilty at trial. He would have faced over 100 years in prison if convicted on all counts.

Last I checked, Scooter Libby hasn't been convicted of anything, is innocent until proven guilty, and hasn't been sent to prison. And 30 years is 70 less than 100.

I stand by my statement. Fitzgerald hasn't lied about anything.

I listened to Mr. Fitzgerald's remarks on Friday through the radio and I thought he sounded like a very angry man who was just about to explode. I wondered why someone would sound that angry if he was certain of the charges he had just made against another human being.
