Go ahead. Defend this.
This guy didn't just have a general political conflict of interest, he knew the witnesses. The judge should have dismissed him. Libby shouldn't have had to use any challenges against this guy -- unless he lied.
How many damned objections do you think they have?
We KNEW before the trial started that this guy worked at the WaPo and that he used to work for Woodward. It came out in voir dire, and it was reported. The defense decided they wanted him anyway.
