No matter how many witnesses swear they told Libby first, if Libby honestly believed it was Russert, he didn't commit perjury. Libby is charged with making a false statement TO A REPORTER???!!! Cooper really sucks as a reporter! When his credibility as an honest reporter was thoroughtly trashed he said: "War on Wilson?" The boondoggle Fitz now finds himself in was created by Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame. So, when is the media going to finally start putting the tough questions to Joe and Val? It was probably Wilson who preposterously suggested that his wife arranged his trip to Niger. Val sends Joe on all his trips to Niger, both for the DIC, WINPAC, and on business trips. She drives him to the airport and picks him up when he returns. It is kind of ironic that Libby is being charged for having said "that's what reporters are saying" - that is what reporters were saying. According to Andrea Mitchell, most reporters knew Wilson had a wife, now they're saying that didn't even know Joe had a wife. Go figure. "I until that point didn't know Wilson had a wife." - Matt Cooper "I didn't know Wilson had a wife." - Walter Pincus "And among the other things, I didn't know he had a wife." - Scooter Libby Grand Jury Testimony b. Given on or about March 24, 2004 Regarding Conversations With Reporters. Questions: 1. Who told you Wilson was sent to Niger by his wife? 2. Who told you a bipartisan Senate panel concluded that Joe Wilson was lying when he denied that his wife had sent him to Niger? 3. Who was the first person to correct you on your assumption that Niger wasn't the same as Nigeria? 4. Who was the first person to tell you that Joe Wilson could not speak Nigerian? 5. Who told you that Saddam tried to buy yellocake from Niger?
