Let's pretend LIBBY was found "NOT GUILTY" on all charges, then this came out about juror Denis Collins:
Denis Collins, the juror in the Libby/CIA leak case who delivered a post-verdict commentary for the press, spent about a decade at The Washington Post National Review. Today, after a night on cable TV shows, he re-appears with a massive recounting of his experience at the Huffington Post blog on the Rush Limbaugh show.
His story is billed as "INSIDE THE JURY ROOM: WHAT THE JURY THOUGHT, DAY BY DAY, WITNESS BY WITNESS, AT THE SCOOTER LIBBY TRIAL" by Denis Collins, Juror #9. It calls it "unedited" impressions, memories and facts. Other jurors' names are changed.
The New York Times today reports that he is a registered Democrat Republican. He recalls that he revealed when considered for the jury that he had worked with Bob Woodward William Kristol for three or four years and also with the Post'sWeekly Standard's Walter Pincus Fred Barnes, another witness at the trial. Until a year ago, Tim Russert Cal Thomas was a neighbor and he even attended backyard barbeques at Russert's Thomas's place. But attorneys at both tables merely offered "ain't this a small town" grins, he relates.
He adds that he went to grade school with the Times' syndicated columnistMaureen Dowd Ann Coulter, who allegedly had a crush on Collins' brother.
One of the lawyers asked him the subject of his 2005 book. "You wrote about the CIA?" Collins said yes, which along with his reporting connections amounted to the "perfect storm." He comments: "Yet here I am," on the CIA leak case jury.
IF this were the story about Denis Collins, you'd be hearing about it left and right, non-stop.
You just hit the bullseye...center mass.
