Don't update wildly. What were the other rules?
Jeffress: [continuing on IIPA] If there had been a violation of IIPA, I'm sure the govt would have charged it.
Walton: I always hear lawyers say indictment doesn't matter. The fact that someone is indicted, I tell people not to take that seriously. The fact that someone isn't [...]

Libby Sentencing One |
| By: emptywheel Tuesday June 5, 2007 6:27 am |
Good morning firepups!

If you haven't already read it, I recommend you read this post [...]
Fitzgerald Post-Trial Press Conference |
| By: Christy Hardin Smith Tuesday March 6, 2007 9:57 am |
The jury worked very long and hard and deliberated to find a verdict of guilty on four of five counts
The prosecutors behind me logged in a lot of hours on this case, and with that I'll take questions.
What is now clear, we knew that Mr. Libby had told a story. What is now public is [...]

To say it was tense in the courtroom as we were waiting for a verdict would be an understatement. My heart was pounding in my chest as it all started to become real for me, all we'd done, how far we'd come.
Libby was stoic and Mrs. Libby daubed her eyes [...]

The Verdict Faerie |
| By: emptywheel Tuesday March 6, 2007 8:34 am |
As you might know. mr, emptywheel is Irish. So when things disappear or reappear at my house, it's always attributed to the ________ faerie. It goes something like this:
"Sweetie, did you use the last eggs?"
"Oh, I thought the egg faerie would have brought more."
OR
"Hey, are we having people over? The beer faerie's been."
Always said [...]
Questions, Questions, Questions |
| By: emptywheel Tuesday March 6, 2007 6:28 am |
Here are the questions:
Is the prosecution alleging that Mr. Libby did not make the statement to Cooper as presented to us in the Indictment OR is the allegation that Libby did know Mrs. Wilson worked for the CIA when he spoke to the FBI on 10/14/03 or 11/26/03?
Is the prosecution's allegation in Count 3 that [...]
Wake Up and Smell the Questions, Part Two |
| By: emptywheel Monday March 5, 2007 1:56 pm |
Fitz: reading through the question of whether the story was based on what he knew about the crime they were investigating. That's no different than if he tells a story that the law enforcement doesn't account. The defense used it in their summation.
Walton: What about that Mr Wells, you made a bit point about that. [...]
