23. On or about July 12, 2003, in the afternoon, LIBBY spoke by telephone to Cooper, who asked whether LIBBY had heard that Wilson's wife was involved in sending Wilson on the trip to Niger. LIBBY confirmed to Cooper, without elaboration or qualification, that he had heard this information too. ...The difference between paragraphs 23 and 26 is that paragraph 23 purports to state fact, and paragraph 26 is the allegation of a statement actually made by Libby. Note the difference, in paragraph 23, the prosecutor asserts that Cooper mentioned Plame to Libby, first. Back to the indictment ...26. As part of the criminal investigation, LIBBY was interviewed by Special Agents of the FBI on or about October 14 and November 26, 2003, each time in the presence of his counsel. During these interviews, LIBBY stated to FBI Special Agents that: ...
b. During a conversation with Matthew Cooper of Time magazine on or about July 12, 2003, LIBBY told Cooper that reporters were telling the administration that Wilson's wife worked for the CIA, but that LIBBY did not know if this was true; and [stement re: Miller deleted]
32. It was part of the corrupt endeavor that during his grand jury testimony, defendant LIBBY made the following materially false and intentionally misleading statements and representations, in substance, under oath: ...b. LIBBY advised Matthew Cooper of Time magazine on or about July 12, 2003, that he had heard that other reporters were saying that Wilson's wife worked for the CIA, and further advised him that LIBBY did not know whether this assertion was true; and [again delete references to Miller]
33. It was further part of the corrupt endeavor that at the time defendant LIBBY made each of the above-described materially false and intentionally misleading statements and representations to the grand jury, LIBBY was aware that they were false, in that: ...
b. LIBBY did not advise Matthew Cooper, on or about July 12, 2003, that LIBBY had heard other reporters were saying that Wilson's wife worked for the CIA, nor did LIBBY advise him that LIBBY did not know whether this assertion was true; rather, LIBBY confirmed to Cooper, without qualification, that LIBBY had heard that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA; and [Miller deletia] ...
Paragraph 32 purports to recapitualte Libby's actual testimony, as did paragraph 26. It is that testimony which is alleged to be false.

Yes, but if Libby had heard about Plame from Woodward, his testimony and statements in 26 and 32 are true. Cooper asks Libby about Plame (does not tell him), Libby says he's heard it from reporters. Libby tells investigators and the GJ about this conversation and says he told Cooper that he did not know if it is true. He lied to Cooper about that, which is the right thing to do because he cannot speak to Cooper regarding classified sources, but he did not lie to investigators or the GJ. Libby told them the truth about his conversation with Cooper.
