CIA Leak Case Prosecutor Doesn't Expect White House to Block Classified Documents

WASHINGTON — The special prosecutor in the CIA leak investigation said Monday he doesn't expect the White House to attempt to block Vice President Dick Cheney's former top aide from using classified intelligence material in his defense to perjury charges.

Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald told U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton that the White House has designated certain documents that it is concerned about being made public during a trial.

If those documents are among those that I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby wants to prepare his defense, Fitzgerald said, he and Libby's lawyers will work out solutions with the judge in secret under a law designed to deal with defendants' access to classified government information.

...

So far, the government has turned over an initial batch of about 55 pages to Libby's defense team, and another group of documents is to be delivered Tuesday, defense attorney John DeWitt Cline said.

2. Fitz knows them VERY well. If Team Libby continues to be stupid

enough to give away inside info - Fitz is not going to say no. Scooter forgot he was charged with obstruction and perjury not outing an agent. Scooter is really quite the rube in this deal.

Go Fitz!
