Libby trial update [FBI interviewer's notes inaccurate and omit important parts of Libby testimony]

The Libby trial continues today with FBI agent Bond acknowledging that her notes are inaccurate and that the summary of the second interview prepared by her supervisor Eckenrode is substantially at odds with her notes.

She also said that while Libby said he "couldn't recall" a key conversation, for example, Eckenrode reported that Libby "adamantly denied "it occurred.

Imagine how confusing it must have been to be confronted in the grand jury with these notes falsely describing the interviews and having no means to challenge them!

Significantly, Agent Bond confirms: Libby testified that on 9/30/03, Colin Powell told him that "everyone knows" about Wilson's wife, and that he (Wilson) was at the meeting where Wilson's wife suggested they send Wilson to Niger.

>>>What kind of idiot prosecutor would bring this kind of evidence to a court of law.>>>

One in the back pocket of the democratic party that knows all that has to happen is that he is tried for it and convicted in the public eye.

More importantly, what kind of idiot judge would allow it.

Why wouldn't the judge allow it?

I don't know, seems like a good, good, good, good, good question.

a low-tech lynching?

Somewhere along the line someone had to have switched the real court documents for a SNL script. At the tax payers expense this whole 'non-case' has gone well beyond the realms of ridiculous.

Sweet!

[Howlin]

This is just mind-boggling!

The FitzFong Follies continue....

My contempt for this idiot knows no bounds.

[Irish Eyes]

This is fast getting beyond mind-boggling!

Nobody was charged with the leak. Fitzgerald said that Libby learned Plame's identity from his boss, Vice President Dick Cheney, and discussed it with journalists. Libby says he forgot about his conversation with Cheney and, when he heard about Plame from NBC reporter Tim Russert weeks later, it struck him as new information.

Fitzgerald says Libby concocted that story to protect himself from prosecution because repeating rumors from reporters is less serious than repeating sensitive information from Cheney.

The tapes are expected to take up much of Monday and part of Tuesday.

Russert is scheduled to be Fitzgerald's last witness, most likely late Tuesday.

Sensitive information? So he's acknowledging it wasn't classified?

And can somebody tell me what exactly is wrong with an administration using the information that have -- that turned out to be the truth -- to defend themselves from liars like Joe Wilson?

LOL

[Howlin]

I have read every word about this story and I cannot figure out what in the hell is going on here.

Even though I know it's a joke, your post makes more sense than any other thing I've read about this case in a long time. This trial has moved into Nifong territory.

Probably one that Schumer promised the AG or the next USSC opening under a Dem.
