The judge said what matters is whether Libby lied to a grand jury and the FBI about what he told three reporters - Judith Miller of The Times; Matthew Cooper of Time magazine; and Tim Russert of NBC - about Plame.

Looks like Libby’s strategy isn’t so compelling after all.

Karl, while you struggle with the concept of "motive", ask yourself why -- if he was operating under the premise that the info had been declassified -- he didn't simply tell investigators, "I disclosed a bunch of information to Miller that had been recently been declassified by none other than the president himself."

Remember, he is charged with obstructing justice. There is a question of relevance to some of those documents because her status has little to do with whether Libby tried to misrepresent things to a grand jury and investigators.

You see, this is why I don't think you guys are very smart.

That is EXACTLY what he told the grand jury. Had you read the footnote I quoted you would understand this.

I think. Maybe. But maybe not.

He hasn't told us that today, so for the moment being, it would appear to be the case.

He can't be wrong, he never made any predictions.
