Fitz is using Cheney's own lawyer to prove OVP was well aware

Libby Live: David Addington Two

http://www.firedoglake.com/2007/01/30/libby-live-david-addington-two/#comments



We'll start today by finishing the testimony of David Addington–Mr. Unitary Executive. While we're waiting, let me explain what Fitzgerald seems to be doing right now with Addington. He has used Addington to submit all of the subpoenas to and document submissions from OVP for the first six months of the investigation. He's not doing this to prove that some documents weren't turned over. I'm fairly certain this relates to one of the challenges to the case Libby's team has posed. Libby's team argues that the early investigation related exclusively to the leak to Robert Novak. If they can prove that, they will then argue that lies about Cooper and Judy are not material lies–that is, not important enough to merit a false statements conviction. But Fitzgerald is using Cheney's own lawyer to prove that–no, OVP was well aware of the fact that the investigation related to any leaks relating to the Wilsons.
