Now Playing: "Winter" by Tori Amos
Tom Maguire thinks there's some reporters with NBC News who are about to share a giant shit sandwich. Well, I paraphrase.
The following is from one of the filings made on behalf of Lewis Libby (and you can grab .pdfs of all this stuff at Tom's sub-blog). His lawyers want to know what Patrick Fitzgerald learned from Tim Russert and the others:
Another issue concerning Mr. Russert’s expected testimony which the defense needs to investigate to examine him effectively at trial is whether any of the NBC reporters who worked for him were aware of Ms. Wilson’s identity prior to July 14, 2003. (6) If any such NBC reporters knew this information before that time, the defense would be entitled to gather that information to prepare its cross-examination of Mr. Russert. Once the defense gets further information about the sources who disclosed Ms. Wilson’s employment status, we can investigate whether these sources were in communication with any reporters in the NBC Washington bureau prior to July 14, 2003, or if they talked to other individuals who might have passed this information on to NBC’s Washington reporters.That's right, baby. Scooter's gonna take a bunch of double-dealing craphounds on the ride of their professional lives. Everybody's so interested in who betrayed the secret identity of a Great American Patriot? Let's see who knew what, you smarmy little pricks. We'll find out just how deep between y'alls cheeks your Leftist overlords go.
And subpoenas are a bitch, I'm told.
