No. I may have worded it wrong...
Libby's lawyers can use the publication timeline information to expose lies by Russert etal, when they said they only knew the info about Valerie after Novak's column was published on Monday.
Document Armitage to Woodward....'everybody knows it'....
Remember Russerts denial is antecedent to the production of this tape by the defendant which was taken at a time when there was nothing on the wind regarding an investigation and thus is believable.
It is easier to believe 2 guy shooting the breeze (Armitage and Woodward) than the contortions which NBC new hacks have been jumping through.
Now put out the threat that Russert is being called back to the stand.
Now call Andrea Smith,..play her own words to her (and the jury)...play Armitages words to her and the Jury....play her words she spoke on Matthews show which was the same thing she said to Imus....Then ask her if she wants to deny her previous three statements to the jury...and say she 'screwed up'...but do it with the inference that Mr.Russert is going to be recalled to 'clarify' his statements previously made on the stand....
I think she would piss her leg....
Then call Russert to the stand, if you can dicombobulate her remarks enough to make her either flip or make her look like the idiot liar she is.
Either way, Russert is could fall into a perjury trap. If he feels threatened, he may give up who he was trying to protect when he flagrantly, unabashedly, and without remorse lied to put an innocent man in the penetry.
It might be the DNC, Rob Emanuel, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton.
I am just spitballing here, but that all follows and makes sense if you understand what these heathens are capable of doing.
