Fitzgerald is an incredibly poor liar, or poker player, or whatever. He spends all his energy trying to avoid turning over evidence he claims doesn’t exist! However, as demonstrated below, neither Marshall nor any other case relied upon by the defendant supports the position that Rule 16 requires the government to produce documents on the […]

*** Updates at the end, filings now on line *** Just when I thought Fitzgerald might earn back a modicum of respect, he comes into court and displays a serious lack of seriousness when he argues VP Cheney’s notes on a copy of Wilson’s July 6 article reflect Scooter Libby’s motivation and thoughts days and […]

Where to begin. I have been really hard on Patrick Fitzgerald because his indictment of Scooter Libby was based on the flimsiest of evidence and assumed, for the basis of the charges, that Scooter Libby did lie to reporters in attempts to not confirm Plame’s role at the CIA or her efforts to get her […]

Oh boy! Richard Armitage – the person suspected to be the initial leaker of Plame’s name, CIA position and role in Joe Wilson’s trip – is listed numero uno on Team Libby’s list of witnesses in their latest court filing! So far, the defense has identified by name the following current and former government officials […]

This post is a recreation of one I lost yesterday in a Hosting Matters server and cpu crash. I was pointing out in the latest cour transcript (H/T Tom Maguire) how it is appears evident that Marc Grossman has some credibility issues. Issues Fitzgerald is very much aware of. To summarize the contents: (1) the […]

I am still slogging through Team Libby’s responses to the media’s responses to Team Libby’s subpoenas. I finally made it into section two of response and wanted to note the logic trap Team Libby has for the NY Times. Fitzgerald (and the news media, not to forget) has claimed Libby’s discussions were part of an […]

In this post from yesterday I noted that if one were to take Wilson at his word in 2003, before he backtracked on his very detailed claims about the Niger forgeries, and you also noted that Wilson took two trips to Niger for the CIA (1999 and 2002), there is a plausible scenario where the […]

Tom Maguire has links to some response filings. I found the Miller/Bennet response to Team Libby’s filing against motions to quash weak. Which means Walton will probably side with Miller. But here it goes anyway. First off, Bennett naively admits the amount of information Miller is withholding is small, so there will never be any […]

In this previous post I noted that Judge Walton, who is overseeing the Libby case, denied Team Libby marginal information about Joe Wilson’s 2002 Niger trip in order to impeach his testimony and his comments at the time (plenty of sources for that), but did give Team Libby a big win on getting government information […]

Folks, this post began as a look back on Wilson’s antics in 2003 based on his comments at the EPIC conference in June and a UVA speech in October 2003. It turned quickly into wild speculation about the Niger Forgeries and a plausible CIA role. As I was reviewing this material a year later with […]
