"Exactly what her status is isn't pertinent to the question of whether or not his answers to investigators were deliberate misdirection."
But it is pertinent to the question of exctly what Fitzgerald was investigating.
A sting to entrap people in a non-crime?
That's novel.
I agree that this material certainly should be turned over. It's very interesting that Fitz has resisted turning over what seems to be clearly discoverable Brady material. Fitz may not be the "straight arrow" we've been led to believe??
Fitz risks the ramifications of not checking for "covert" first, but I can understand the preference to exit the process with a "no report, no crime committed" without giving a reason.
And Libby risked being caught telling a lie to investigators, when the truth would have resulted in a "no report."
The Judge is having a hearing this Friday to discuss the various discovery motions.
