I guess someone thinks he still going to show up.
32. It was part of the corrupt endeavor that during his grand jury testimony, defendant LIBBY made the following materially false and intentionally misleading statements and representations, in substance, under oath:
a. When LIBBY spoke with Tim Russert of NBC News, on or about July 10, 2003:
i. Russert asked LIBBY if LIBBY knew that Wilson’s wife worked for the CIA, and told LIBBY that all the reporters knew it; and
ii. At the time of this conversation, LIBBY was surprised to hear that Wilson’s wife worked for the CIA;
b. LIBBY advised Matthew Cooper of Time magazine on or about July 12, 2003, that he had heard that other reporters were saying that Wilson’s wife worked for the CIA, and further advised him that LIBBY did not know whether this assertion was true; and
c. LIBBY advised Judith Miller of the New York Times on or about July 12, 2003 that he had heard that other reporters were saying that Wilson’s wife worked for the CIA but LIBBY did not know whether that assertion was true.
33. It was further part of the corrupt endeavor that at the time defendant LIBBY made each of the above-described materially false and intentionally misleading statements and representations to the grand jury, LIBBY was aware that they were false, in that:
a. When LIBBY spoke with Tim Russert of NBC News on or about July 10, 2003:
i. Russert did not ask LIBBY if LIBBY knew that Wilson’s wife worked fortheCIA,nor did he tell LIBBY that all the reporters knew it; and
ii. At the time of this conversation, LIBBY was well aware that Wilson’s wife worked at the CIA; in fact, LIBBY had participated in multiple prior conversations concerning this topic, including on the following occasions: •
In or about early June 2003, LIBBY learned from the Vice President that Wilson’s wife worked for the CIA in the Counterproliferation Division; •
On or about June 11, 2003, LIBBY was informed by a senior CIA officer that Wilson’s wife was employed by the CIA and that the idea of sending him to Niger originated with her.
Have you read Russert's testimony? What a joke, the guy can't seem to remember anything right.
Another response I posted in this thread details some of Libby’s lies that resulted in his perjury and obstruction of justice convictions. It’s true that Libby sometimes claimed lack of memory during his GJ testimony, but not regarding the many lies that resulted in his 4 criminal convictions.
Tim Russert filed a false affidavit with the prosecutor’s knowledge. Russert LIED to the court, Fitzy lied to the court. The FBI conveniently “lost” all their interview papers with Russert, what notes they did have said that Russert said “it might be possible that we discussed it”, even though on the stand he said he never said it. The FBI was especially egregious in this case, losing notes, misquoting people (including Libby) (which who shown at trial). But the judge and the jury sided with Russert anyway, even though HE WAS THE PROVEN LIAR in this case. But then, when a judge allows Tim’s neighbor on the jury (over the objections of the defense) it all goes out the window anyway.
Scooter DID NOT receive a fair trial.
I never heard of probation without time served, and this can be as short as a hour (or less). Was he ever incarcerated following any arrest on this case? If he was never arrested and has no time behind bars the judge may be correct.
I wish that the entire GJ record would be made public so that we all have an equal opportunity to speculate about what Bush/Cheney lies Scooter Libby was trying to cover up by committing perjury and obstructing justice.
Yeah, right. All 12 jurors sat through months of testimony, convicted Scooter on evidence showing his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, the trial judge agreed with the verdict in spades, and you still expect me to believe in some stuff you read on a farout website weeks before the trial?
Don't tell me. Tell Scooter's lawyers who are still appealing his 4 convictions. They are the ones who really need a magic bullet to save their client.
You actually make the case why Libby is innocence... A person can only lie when they tell you something they know is not true ...it not a lie if I tell you something I believe to the best of my understanding and memory in true but later is found false...
The thing is what motive would Libby have to lie?..There was none as we already know he really did have nothing to do with the release of the name and neither did his boss ... he was found to be incorrect in his recall of a date of a trivial meeting from several years before... and as far an I know that date of the meeting was irrelevant either way to the case...
Someone please show me anything on any relevance to the case and to Libby that Libby had any motive to lie about...if there zero motive and zero relevance... why lie?...there is none.. accept it's bad recall made in to perjury for political reason
