I hope you are right, but the actual charges sound solid, even if the underlying crime never occurred.
As Fitzgerald said:
If Mr. Libby is proven to have done what we've alleged -- convicting him of obstruction of justice, perjury and false statements -- very serious felonies -- will vindicate the interest of the public in making sure he's held accountable.
In his October 2005 press conference, Fitzgerald said in effect that while his case began with an investigation of the illegal disclosure of Plame's classified status, the current charges against Libby had nothing to do with that status. The MSM continue to report a different story to promote their agenda, but their lies are not necessarily relevant to Fitzgerald's case.
The case isn't as solid as it sounds because there is no proof that Libby intentionally lied. The case is just a matter of Libby's memory, differing from the memory of the partisan reporters.
