Do you really think that Scooter Libby is stupid enough to go in an dperjure himself while turning over his own notes that contradict his statements? Or is it more likely, in that case, that it was a memory lapse?
Fitzgerald knows the answer to that, too, but he indicted Libby anyway.
Its very hard to prove the difference between lying and having a memory lapse.
Libby had months to refer to his notes before he had to talk to the FBI. He had more than a year before he lied to the grand jury. All the lawyers and such at the White House were trying to deterimine the source of the leak. Everyone was being questioned. You would think if he's really the legal genius, he would spend a little time checking his notes to at least see what kind of legal jeopardy he might be in. I cant believe he didnt look and I cant believe his memory is that bad. I think its more likely he concocted the reporter story thinking that the various reporters not have to testify about their source.
