75. How do you know he is a liar and wasn't just making a mistake, relying
on what he thought were credible sources, but whose information was wrong, or partially wrong (say, on the timing)? Where is your evidence that Leopold is lying--that he deliberately told the public something he knew to be untrue? "Wrong" and "lying" are two different things. The timing of a public announcement about an indictment can change based on internal developments in the case, which none of us can know about yet. Also, internal negotiations, deals and other activities could result in an indictment being withdrawn or overridden (as has been reasonably speculated--that Gonzales pulled rank on Fitzgerald, and that Sealed v. Sealed is Fitzgerald v. Gonzales--Fitz trying to fight off a "Saturday Night Massacre."). Maybe Leopold made a mistake--and now, like all of us, is waiting to find out what the hell happened. Why jump to the conclusion that he lied?

Credibility, Robcon. He has some. You don't. He had sources. You have nothing. Where is your evidence that he lied?
