Scooter had really poor legal advice throughout his episode. Could have been avoided by pulling a Clintonesk "I don't remember..."

Wrong. Libby had defense lawyer Theodore Wells, widely considered the best courtroom attorney alive today. The legal team was headed up by Fred Thompson. The problem was not the advice he was getting, the problem was the jury. In a politically sensational trial the conservative side is going to loose 99% of the time with a DC jury pool. These same people elected Walter Mondale president, remember.

Which is exactly what the defense staff overlooked or ignored. Scooter could have had Rosco Pound and still lost.

Fred Thompson was on Libby's LEGAL TEAM!! That's the first I've heard that. I know Fred is raising money for Libby's defense, but I didn't know he led the defense! Are you POSITIVE?
