Re "he did it" if that means the Novak column ---
Novak has said that he filed his column that was published on Monday, July 14th, on Friday July 11. The Associated Press is who he filed the copy with, so anyone with access to AP material had all weekend to see the column.
I believe that this is how Russert etc found out about it. Now, from Plame's testimony, it seems possible that someone also gave ol' Joe a heads-up before Monday morning.

Does it seem to you tha almost no one has noticed this fact? It should have been hammered during the Libby trial. It came out in Novak's testimony, but seems to have been completely missed in the multiple giant time-line post-its in the jury room. Its implications are huge.
