The defense team for I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby also asked that the court require Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald to turn over any informal assessments conducted by the CIA to determine whether the leak of Plame's identity in July 2003 damaged national security or agency operations.

Fitz is gonna rue the day that he claimed that Plame's CIA employment was classified and that her employer was not common knowledge.

"Fitz is gonna rue the day that he claimed that Plame's CIA employment was classified and that her employer was not common knowledge."

Yep. Just liked he did when at the press conference Fitz said Libby was the first known to tell a journalist about Plame...and then a week or so later Bob Woodward comes forwards and says "um Fitz, someone else told me about Plame earlier."

This is why Libby's new lawyer charges the big bucks. He's has a three fold strategy here. 1) if he cannot get get the records for any reason, then he can get some of the charges dismissed ; 2) He may be calling fitz bluff ; 3) and if fitz does have the records, he could make a materiality case out of them, if he has too.
