No, Libby was not off the hook no matter what Armitage or anyone else said. If I understand this right, Fitzy asks, say, "Do you have a marble in your pocket?" (answer: "Yes.") Question: "Did you talk to Tim Russert?" (answer: "No.") Fitzy produces evidence that he in fact told something to Russert. The nature of what he told Russert is irrelevant if he said he had not talked to Russert. Anyway, I'm basing this on what Rush is saying and what Andrew Napolitano was saying, that basically Libby was viewed as having lied about who he talked to, not WHAT HE TALKED about. It appears Libby got really bad legal advice here, and should have taken the stand.

I think Libby's lawyer already saw the verdict stacked against them and was just preparing for the inevitable appeal. No point in having Libby testify now.

I was talking about lying Joe Wilsons charge that Libby outed his wife. Isn't that what the Plame case is all about? No charge was levied against Libby or anyone else for the revealing of her name and we now know it was Armitage who was the culprit.
