There was no need to protect Cheney from any criminal investigation at
all since he hadn't done anything illegal. Even before Libby started
the "he said, she said" spinning and fabricating that was described in
the indictments, there was no need to protect Cheney. That being said,
for Cheney to refute the fabrications in Wilson's report is hard-ball
politics, but not illegal. If it was illegal to "out" Plame, then Libby
was the primary suspect, above all others. Apparently, it *wasn't*
illegal to "out" Plame.
True, but he may have wanted to hide Cheney's role in outing Plame, even
tho it wasn't illegal. But I think he didn't know it wasn't illegal.
Libby may have tried to mitigate political fall-out, but I can't recall
Cheney ever shying away from bare-knuckle politics.

The only things mentioned in the indictments are the various
conversations and personal-notes between Libby and a given reporter --
two-person conversations with no other witnesses. The notes even stem
from the same two-person conversations. Fitz will need "other evidence"
if he doesn't want to be painted with the "Ronnie Earle" brush by his
detractors...
Okay, there were the notes and also, I think, conflicting testimony from
other witnesses, the journalists.
That's the two-person conversations -- Each conversation was between Libby
and a reporter. Libby's statements conflicting with a reporter and a
reporter's statement conflicting with Libby's. If it goes to trial, Libby
will likely assert "He-Said/She-Said", even though the reporter's accounts
will likely agree -- and not in Libby's favor...
Okay jd, it looks a though we continue to view the same facts from
opposite angles.
Shocked! Shocked, I Am!!
Gotta run - I have a hot thread going with DXace over
dingleberries.
Our topical preferences differ in ways I had not considered!
I LOVE shortwave radio!
When the ionosphere cooperates, I do too! Well, I wouldn't say *love*, but
I am deeply in "like" with SWL...
