Isn't the problem for Libby that he did not tell the grand jury that Cheney told him about Plame, and there were many witnesses that he was told? And apparently, all he had to do was go to the grand jury to clear it up before its term expires, after being "reminded," and no crime. That is what Rove apparently did. And that is why I would guess that Fitzgerald waited until the grand jury's term expired before filing against Libby, so Libby would not have a chance to expunge the crime. Libby's lawyer screwed up.

Libby didn't screw up, he's using himself to slam Wilson with everything he's got built up. Every Journalist that Wilson spoke to will have to testify and they won't be able to lie because Libby will know.

Too easy to fix. And if Rove knew to do it, why not Libby? They probably weren't supposed to talk to each other about this, but Rove's lawyer could pose a "hypothetical" to Libby's lawyer to remind him.

No, there's something else here. Libby was called too many times not to have an opportunity to correct the record.

Libby provided the document that falsified, I got that from my evo buds, his own testimony. If he is of sound mind and body he perused the documents before he dumped them. So he provided the evidence that he knew something before he knew it.

Life with the best and brightest must be very difficult at times. :-}

This reminds me of the game we played as kids. One person would whisper a sentence to the next person and it would continue until at the end the original sentence did not match the beginning.

Apparently these Special Counsel investigations are nothing more than a taxpayer funded game of Operator.
