With withering and methodical dispatch, White House nemesis and prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald yesterday sliced up the first person called to the stand on behalf of the vice president's former chief of staff.
If I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was not afraid of the special counsel before, the former Cheney aide, who will face Fitzgerald in a trial beginning Jan. 11, had ample reason to start quaking after yesterday's Ginsu-like legal performance.

Slick was already impeached at that point ...Hows Roger Clinton these days anyway?
"Jury selection is scheduled to begin on January 17."
It looks like a dumb move by Fitzgerald to me. He should have pulled this out in front of the jury on cross examination--not pretrial. Now the Libby defense will have ways to prepare for his attack against this expert witness. Pretty dumb if you ask me, and I am an attorney.
This will probably be Fitz' high point.
WAPO lib hack crap. I need say no more.
he won't get impeached. We're going to keep Congress.
One of those moments came when Loftus insisted that she had never met Fitzgerald. He then reminded her that he had cross-examined her before, when she was an expert defense witness and he was a prosecutor in the U.S. attorney's office in New York.
What a goofy spin this reporterette puts on the story.
Loftus is an expert on the faulty memory of people being grilled by a prosecutor under oath and then she proved her own point by not remembering that she had previously been grilled by Fitzgerald under oath!
Sounds like a ginsu knive performance to me, especially when you remember that ginsu knives were cheap crappy ten dollar knives sold only on television.
Bushitlerchimpy lied and people died....
and Joe Wilson was telling the truth and piggies can fly.
Memories... Remember Hillary's quote " I dont recall"
how many times did she say that?
PS
Love ya!
She's FreeRepublic's pet liberal. She's polite, so we let her stay, and we entertain ourselves by responding to her funny assertions.
I don't understand your statement at all. The article was putrid, but only in its obvious hope that Libby rots in prison over the Plame non-event.
Of course you will support impeachment if GWB dares to do that, won't you? Remember the fuss when Slick Willy issued a few pardons before leaving office?
Yeah, a few pardons to known friggin criminals and he had already been impeached by then. Libby isn't a criminal. He's the victim of a fraud perpetuated by the libs. Geesh!
LOL Ginsu to you
Why Fitz still running the investigation like it's the most important intelligent leak IS BEYOND comprehension!!! This is how the left trying to protect security of this nation... God help us.
Fitzgerald proved that a memory expert has a poor memory of the contents of books she wrote... He must expect the judge to believe she got on the witness stand and committed perjury on purpose.
What better proof could you ask for than to prove that busy people can't remember things that happened and often think they remember what they said, whom they met, and wrote when they do not.
If Libby committed perjury then so did she. Fitzgerald just helped destroy his case against Libby.
No need. There's absolutely no chance whatsoever that Libby is going to get convicted of anything. Lionel Hutz could tear this ridiculous case to shreds.
The crap from the WaPo will do that!!!!!
Libby should be wearing a full body condom with all the slime being thrown around by Fitz.
"that her conclusions about memory were conflicting,"
So, isn't that Libby's point about memory?
""There were several moments when Loftus was completely caught off guard by Fitzgerald, creating some very awkward silences in the courtroom.
One of those moments came when Loftus insisted that she had never met Fitzgerald. He then reminded her that he had cross-examined her before, when she was an expert defense witness and he was a prosecutor in the U.S. attorney's office in New York.""
Again, doesn't this help Libby that she forgot?
