" Does Russert have a handicap? or an injury?"

I believe he stubbed his little toe a couple of years ago (or something like that), and needs a crutch for jury sympathy.

"Geeze, according to Fox News Radio, Russert contradicted Libby."

He did contradict Libby in his direct testimony. But then the defense hit his credibility. Look, if there's an FBI report saying Russert told Libby about Plame, in my opinion game over. But, who knows what the jury will decide.

*******Russert testified he has no notes from his conversation with Libby on July 10, 2003. His recollection is based solely on his memory--which his testimony showed needs prompting




If he says he has no notes, what did he do with them?
Did he destroy them and in so doing destroy evidence?
Is he lying about his recollection?
Remember this guy is supposedly an ace reporter.

Does anyone really believe he took no notes? It is evident it is his practice to take notes , since he testifies has has them on other issues.

This is not what I heard on Hardball.

On Hardball it seems:

Fitz is SMART (and may be God)

Libby will HAVE to testify (Spikey says no ...too dangerous)

Will Cheney tesify???????!!!!!!!

No No No NO No !!!!!!!!!!!!!

"This appears"...that you haven't been paying attention or know how a courtroom works.

On The Jim Lehrer Hour this evening two 'experts' one a female journalism professor from American University and the other a middle-aged bearded gent from the LA Times, each lauded Russert and pointed out how he had vindicated all the prior reporters' testimony.

The gal called Russert, "Fitzgerald's last witness and star witness who pointedly said that he had never heard of Plame before the Libby call." She also authored a book on Woodward & Bernstein if this helps describe her.

Night and day from your take and I personally take yours.

"My gosh, if you have a chance to see Sissy Matthews and David Shuster"

But those two and Russert are all part of the same team. These guys had better be careful, they're playing a very dangerous game here.

I'm still very curious as to why the FBI agent, Eckenrode, didn't recuse himself from interviewing Timmy since he had recently met him when he visited the MTP set, and seemed a little starry-eyed according to the testimony I read on one of the blogs today.

Do you happen to have a link to that blog? I am curious about Eckenrode too. I can't figure out what he was doing at Meet the Press. And it seems he also took some notes during a Libby interview that differed from Bond who testified earlier. It figures they would be fawning over him here with statements like:

Isikoff and Corn call Jack a "dogged investigator who reminded some of the Tommy Lee Jones character in The Fugitive.

Jack Eckenrode believed that both Rove and Libby were being dishonest. He pushed the issue. Attorney General John Ashcroft was forced to recuse himself...

I was sitting perpendicular to the jury so I couldn't read their expressions well. They do take plenty of notes. I can see them scribbling away.
