My understanding is that the defense attorneys wanted to use memory experts but they were not allowed by the judge after Fitz objected.

Then this man cannot get a fair trial. At question is the nature of the evidence and its credibility. If a person forgets 40% of an experience with 6 months (hypothetical) and you try him for forgetting some aspect, you have created rather than prosecuted the crime. Ditto for confabulation--it is quite natural for people to report and add to alleged memories. Data from repeated "eye witness" studies and experiments have proved this over and over again.

Mr. Libby is not going to prevail when he is charged with "forgetting." People do it all the time including the Judge and Mr. Fitzgerald.

I repeat, there is no computer in the head that accurately and completely records all memories. There is no technique chemical or hypnosis that can restore this mythical bank.

It is a tough subject and only the best of academic psychologists could remedy this travesty of justice.

Wait a minute. They didn't do all this to Clinton when he lied to the Supreme Court. He was obvious about it, too.

Where's Sandy Burglars lie detector test? What's the hold up?

Where's the Reid investigations?

What about Pelosis husband and his Del Monete stock profit from the Sonoma Scam?

Aren't these things just a little more important than going through all this because someone mentioned the name of an office worker at the CIA? So what if her husband was offended. Maybe he shouldn't have lied about his trip to Niger. So get over it already!
