Yeah, right.
People have tried to make more of this than they should. Libby looked bad on this one and anyone who looked at the case might say that Fitzgerald was FOS for going after him but I don't see how they could buy Libby's spin. This was a huge issue for the WH at the time and they were going into damage control mode. Of course they are going to have to fight back. Fitzy nailed him for trying to cover his ass which is lame but Libby likely put himself in this mess.
"He said that politics played no role in the verdict, and claimed most jurors didn't know how others felt politically."
But...
"We asked ourselves, what is HE doing here? Where is Rove and all these other guys....He was the fall guy."
Actually if all jurors were liberals that came from roughly the same mind view then a person's politics would not be so noticeable. If a few were conservative then the contrast would be more apparent and politics may have been more obvious. My guess is they were all liberals. Otherwise it would seem there would have been a hung jury.
He also said that they discussed politics after the verdict
This jury smells to the heavens
Especially after that Rove and Cheney comment
