The Libby trial is looking more and more like another case where the Prosecutor has taken liberties with the facts. First there was Ronnie Earle indicting Tom Delay for something not against the law (though Earle said it should be). Then Nifong the Incompetent assured a grand jury that DNA results would confirm the guilt of three Duke Lacrosse players, but then withheld the data when it didn't confirm. Now in the Libby case we have FBI agents who misrepresented what Libby said in their written reports (at least acording to other agents), the FBI has lost notes on the original discussions with Tim Russert, and Tim Russert presented a false affidavit to the Court. (Since Russert is a Democrat, I assume he won't be charged with anything.) It also turns out that Russert, the primary witness against Libby, claims he has a good memory, but it is quite selective. Russert recalls minute details of a brief conversation with Libby, but has absolutely no recollection of angry converations he had with a reporter who had criticized him. Russert says he was not particularly pleased when Libby was indicted, but at the time he said it was "like Christmas." On his TV show Russert berated other reporters who had talked to the FBI, but now it turns out that he did the same thing, but didn't reveal it to anyone. No matter what happens to Libby, this case has revealed that Russert is a weasel.
