Well, I have explained my take on it as clearly as I can. I respect that you take another position, but I find it untenable..
Like I said, thanks for the venue.
The record will speak for itself.
We've had a rather complex dialog, and your "I find untenable that you take another position" is ambiguous. My positions, stated on this thread, amount to the following:
Even if the investigation is bogus, those who testify are (I think reasonably) expected to do so truthfully.And you find those positions to be untenable?The legal principle being defended is "truthful testimony, regardless of the stupidity and/or motive of the investigator."
The indictment asks this. At the time in interest, was Libby "informed only as well as every other guy in the rumor mill," or was he "well aware that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA?"
... the indictment isn't a "leak" indictment.
There is no indictment, and never will be one that charges "outing" of Plame.
The official stance from President Bush, the DoJ and the prosecutor is that the case, the leak, is serious.
I give the case for conviction better than even odds -if- the case goes to trial.
I don't see the charge being dropped, but a plea bargain is possible.I think it was a bogus investigation.
