Man, I have been reading about Russert and here's a synopsis of my understanding of his testimony...

Scooter says Russert was the first one to tell him about Val Plame. Russert testified before Fitz' grand jury and cooperated fully. Evidently Russert told the grand jury that he didn't know Plame's identity until AFTER the date Scooter said Russert told him. Thus Scooter must be lying, right? Not that Tim Russert would lie or anything.

Only Andrea Mitchell, of all people, is going to be called soon and she has said, on the air and in print, that everyone at NBC knew Plame's identity. We assume here that "everyone" would include Russert. The prosecution is fighting a call of Mitchell to the stand tooth and nail.

Meanwhile, it would seem that Russert cooperated with Fitz only Russert didn't tell his bosses at NBC. THEY came out with a public statement denying any involvement by Russert with Fitz' grand jury but it was a lie. Either NBC is lying or Russert is lying.

I've been following this case right along, folks, and still I am amazed that this joke of a trial goes on, now having cost millions of dollars that could buy a lot of homes for Katrina victims. Yet not one congress critter does anything to stop this joke.

Then again, maybe this is part of the plan. For sure all those journalists, whose testimony is automatically assumed to be the truth while Libby, hey he MUST be lying, right...are being exposed for the liars they are. Including, VERY MUCH, including Tim Russert. I predict when this is over Russert's credibility will take a big, big hit. Man might even lose his job.

Important thing here, DON'T believe any Lamestream reports about this trial. There are Bloggers at the trial and a few are doing a bang up job. The Lamestream is lying through its teeth about what's going on. Hey, even Fitz' D.C. Grand Jury is publicly stating they have second thoughts about the conviction.

And Russert, ladies and gems, is in deep, deep, deep.
