More Plame Game
 

In a development that got no media play over the weekend, Lewis 'Scooter' Libby's defense lawyer announced on Friday that he has located five witnesses who will testify that Joe Wilson outed his wife Valerie Plame as a CIA employee before Robert Novak did so in his July 2003 column.

According to the NationalReviewOnline's Byron York, Libby's lawyer Ted Wells told the court that his witnesses "will say under oath that Mr. Wilson told them his wife worked for the CIA."

Wells said that he expects Leakgate Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald to call Wilson to testify in a bid to salvage his case.

Reacting to the news on Friday, Wilson declined to deny the allegation, suggesting instead that it no longer mattered who first outed his wife.

"The last I heard, this is case is about allegations Mr. Libby lied, perjured himself before the FBI, special prosecutor and grand jury and obstructed justice," he told CNN in a statement. "None of those charges of which he's been indicted has anything to do with me."

Discuss...

Has anyone ever heard of someone called Traci Lords? This case bears a striking resemblance to that one.

Bwaaaaaahhaahahahah Bwahahahaahhaahha

This game of political gotcha is becoming very tiresome.

Bottom line is that Wilson was trying to score political points against Bush by telling his findings to the press. The Bush White House was trying to get back at him by leaking Plame's name to the press.

Plame wasn't covert but she should not have been outed for political gain.

And this trial is becoming tiresome as well...

The Dems have been successful in disturbing the party.

That guy Abramonoff sic is where the real political dirt is imo.
