Russert just appeared on NBC. HE IS DENYING THE FACTS AS PRESENTED IN THE INDICTMENT. He says he testified under oath that he did not receive any information from Libby about Plame as the inictment alleges. This is important if it shows that Fitzgerald is going beyond the facts of the case to draw political blood.

Why them isn't RUSSERT being charged with Perjury?

Interesting....

[carl in alaska]

Very interesting statement from Russert.

[Rokurota]

Whoa!! That would be something if that is true. Fitzy is making up testimony?

[rip033]

Get him under oath again and he'll probably change his story. Like all of them. Say one thing to the public then when push comes to shove and their butt's are on the line the real story comes out. Games, all games...

Now this is getting interesting.

looks like fitz lied! lets get him under oath ;)

If that's true, then I expect Libby's lawyers to get a court to throw out the indictments on the ground Fitzgerald misrepresented the essence of Russert's testimony to the GJ. So then it comes down to two different recollections of events. That's not a crime much less than perjury. It seems to me the prosecutor's case looks week. There's not even an underlying crime here.

Unbelievable! We can only hope for a speedy trial and get the Wilsons on the stand. These are trumped up charges and should be tossed.

[Lady Heron]

How weak does your case have to be when a dem like Russert will not even bite the bullet and back up your case against a Republican.

[freema]

I saw that and got the impression he was a bit nervous, un-nerved. Did you?

[newzjunkey]

In the press conference Fritz said Russert did not talk to Libby about Plame while Scooter told investigators they had. Fitz was adamant that they knew Scooter had lied. He was so emphatic on this point that I wondered if there was tape or if it was only Russert's vs. Libby's word under oath.
