"The media knows it will be on trial here. The reporters have lied thru their teeth."
So, assuming Hoagland is of like mind, then stating this ...
"The hidden management of the criminal justice process and the news media practiced by spooks in Wilson-Rove-Libbygate is nothing short of brilliant. So you were right to fear the agency."
... can be interpreted as a not-so-thinly-veiled warning to back off?
While I heard Andrea Mitchell lie thru her teeth the other night while talking about the matter to Russert - Sean just read a statement of hers from last year stating that everyone knew Wilson's wife was CIA.
