degeneral va. -- Digenova. >> I think it is a serious development for the prosecutor. I predict you will hold no further muse conferences. By alleging that libby was the initial source he bootstrapped his case on this fact. That now totally false and requires him under justice department guidelines to seriously consider dismissing the case because you cannot indict when there's a reasonable doubt and i believe now that there is reasonable doubt about mr. Region's state of mind.
Brit: it may be the case as bob woodward testified that liberaly was not the first person that revealed the information but the allegation is made that whatever, to who may have been first or second he is not charmed as the first source but coming before the grand jury and lying under oat, is he not?
>> I think mr. Fitzgerald has done more than that. And everyone is to be excused for not eagle it. He has done a very interesting thing. He talked about the classified information, how she was a classified employee. She is not a covert employee. There is no evidence that she was and it has they have been established and he tries to show mr. Libby was involved in spreading the information knowing she was the so-called classified employee. It is now clear that mr. Libby's allegation by his lawyers that his memory was simply faulty makes more sense now that we know bob woodward was in fact the first person to receive that information, not from mr. Libby but another apparently former government official.
Brit: but if libby said he first learned this information from tim russert's alleged to have said and he didn't, he learned it from someone else, and he's also charged with telling other lies about this information, whether he was first to say this or not, those charges would still stand would at the not?
>>They would stand except for this. This now puts the prosecutor in a position of having made a very bold statement about something that mr. Libby did which is now totally untrue and mr. Fitzgerald knows it. It also shows that in the situation with mr. Woodward when he spoke with walter pincus at the "washington post" he claims that he told walter pincus about the conversation about mrs. Wilson. Mr. Pincus says i don't remember that. What this does for the prosecutor and the public is put front and center the fact this witnesses can engage in the same event and have a conversation and remember it totally differently.
Mr. Libby's defense team free to run amock with this but mr. Fitzgerald has a very substantial duty as prosecutor. Under justice department guidelines when he has reason to believe that some fact that he has relied on is false such as mr. Libby being the first person to tell a reporter, he has a duty to go back and if necessary, if that creates reasonable doubt about other things in the indictment he must dismiss it. That duty is upon him at this moment and I hope he is going to be as honest about it as he pretends to have been about the underpinnings of the indictment.
Brit: you are quite sharply a critic of him. Why
>> because i believe the news conference was a disgrace. What he did was he bootstrapped her class, mrs. Wilson's allegedly classified employment status --
brit: it may have been classified.
>> That doesn't mean it is a vials of the spaunl act or the agent identity act. He didn't charge that. But he tried to make it look like that is what happened by not charging it. That news conference was an overly aggressive attempt to present the public with a false picture of what this case was about and by making a terrible mistake now apparently about whether or not mr. Libby was the first person he has to go back and recalibrate all the evidence. He has an immense duty do to do that.
Brit: joe, thanks.
