Its clear there are going to be some areas of disagreement, Cline said, adding that he thought the lawyers could narrow the differences with the judges help and avoid a fight with the White House.
Walton set an Aug. 16 hearing to resolve the differences. The hearing will be held behind closed doors.
Fitzgerald also said he doesnt anticipate any fights with the White House over witnesses he plans to call at Libbys trial in January. Fitzgerald has indicated that he might call witnesses ranging from Cheney to former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer and former State Department official Marc Grossman.
The White House is aware of the witnesses we intend to call ... and the subject areas, the prosecutor told Walton. This is not a crisis that is looming. I want to assure you of that.

"Walton set an Aug. 16 hearing to resolve the differences. The hearing will be held behind closed doors.
(snip)Cline also told Walton the defense has not yet decided whether it will call an expert on memory to testify at trial.
A key to Libbys defense is whether a jury should believe what NBCs Tim Russert, Time magaziness Matthew Cooper and former New York Times reporter Judith Miller remember about their conversations with Libby or what Libby recalls telling them."

The first two paragraphs. Isn't showing a "concern" about certain documents now an "attempt to block?"

Sounds like "If we can't get him the stuff we wanted to, them we'll 'Al Capone' him!

good, get one memo from Plame and have a CIA higher up testify to if some one in that department is considered a covered person. Puts the whole Dem victimhood gambit to bed and makes Fitzy look like he didn't do his job on finding out if a crime had been committed in the first place.

He seems confident that he and the White House will be able to work it out .... we shall see. I still say, even if Fitzie lands on his ear for sheer buffoonery and MissCleo-itis, it could still be tossed due to the classified info factor and the WH's refusal to turn that over.

Well, he sure can't speak for the White House, even though he seems confident they can work it out. I think Alberto Gonzalez is gonna be caught in a meat grinder at some point.

Fitz hasn't been conducting a leak investigation, he's on a poorly run witch hunt. I want a Congressional investigation of all the money this bozo has wasted.

What a total waste of taxpayers' money. It would be different if there was a significant crime involved, but perjury related to what someone said to some reporters? Sheesh!!!!

I'm wondering when he's going to be called upon for some regular periodic financial reporting on this farce. Isn't that part of a Spec. Prosecutor's responsibilities?

Yes, most definitely.
Remember all the complaints about Ken Starr's?

But notice there haven't been any public whining rants, except here, about the Barret Report after what .. 12, 13 years ?... for Cisneros.

Why do I get the feeling that Fritz will call his most prominent witnesses around Oct. 10th... Just in time for the elections. He is working hard against this administration to cast it in the worst possible light...
