Prosecution and CIA legerdemain in Libby Case?
Clarice Feldman

Or for a more recent example of Fitzgerald’s tactics, consider his recent sentencing memorandum. Isikoff and Hosenball make much of the fact that “Patrick Fitzgerald has finally resolved one of the most disputed issues at the core of the long-running CIA leak controversy: Valerie Plame Wilson, he asserts, was a “covert” CIA officer”.

But the defense response provided a bit of clarification which Fitzgerald had overlooked, or forgotten, or something:
The summary described above was provided to the defense along with a companion summary that defined a “covert” CIA employee as a “CIA employee whose employment is not publicly acknowledged by the CIA or the employee.”4

It is important to bear in mind that the IIPA defines “covert agent” differently.

I find it interesting in a negative sort of way that the Justice Department finally got off their duff and are putting the smack on Dollar Bill Jefferson the day before the Libby sentencing hearing.

They should have waited a couple of days after all this time to do Dollar Bill.

The left wing blogs will cry foul to the roof just on the timing.

On the other hand if they waited a couple of days then all you would hear is “Well it’s just payback”.
