Wells had made a pretty good case that by not allowing to cross Mitchell and omitting Russert self impeachment, Libby was denied the right of facing his accusers.
Three of the five charges were from Russert, who was shown to have failed to disclose his FBI discussion in the subpoena, then Russert taunted Novak for not complying with a subpoena.
BTW Russert swears he didn't say a word to his friend the former President of the company.
Oh, yes, and conveniently the FBI guy who interviewed Russert is retired and his notes are lost.
Talk about not facing your accusers.
To say the very least, the civil case, in which all these players will be deposed UNDER OATH about anything the defense law wants to ask them about, should be very, very interesting.
"Oh, yes, and conveniently the FBI guy who interviewed Russert is retired and his notes are lost."
And those notes were constructed from an interview of Russert at home, on the weekend, on the phone by someone identifying himself as an FBI investigator.
"the FBI guy who interviewed Russert is retired and his notes are lost."
Yeah, the FBI always loses investigation notes.
