yes, but unfortunately for Libby - he fell into the perjury trap that Fitzgerald turned his GJ into. I don't know that this Woodward stuff will help Libby that much at trial. It certainly helps us understand the BS surrounding this case, the media involvement in it, but Libby is holding the bag right now.

Miller didn't go to jail to protect Libby - that was a convenient excuse.

In light of all this, indict Woodward and drop the indictment against Scooter! Scooter was indicted for obstructing justice in WHAT? A NON-criminal investigation? So...drop the dang charges, for Pete's sake!

What hasn't Fitz asked Novak to reveal his sources?

Novak did testify. And, presumably, revealed his sources.

Fitzgerald said that he is aware of who Novak's sources were.

Because the special prosecutor has not "wrapped up". He's empaneling another GJ.

We don't know that Woodward's take is correct...only that it seems very likely. I do not understand why Libby so obviously lied. Neither does anyone else.
