Maybe after years he actually believed that he talk to Russert first. I do stuff like that all the time. This is BS and Fitzgerald is proving to be not that bright IMO.
I know you don't believe that. You are far smarter than that. The only response that explains this is that EVERYONE except Scooter is lying.
I know you don't believe that, either.
It wasn't 'after years' that he told the same lie to the FBI that he told to the GJ. More like 'after weeks'.
