Remember; indictment…

Remember; indictments aren’t convictions. Based on what TIME reporter Matt Cooper is saying, these indictments may amount to little or nothing.

On Aug. 23, I had a tuna sandwich and gave a deposition in Abrams’ Washington office about the conversation. The Wilson part that really interested Fitzgerald was tiny, as I told TIME readers. Basically, I asked Libby if he had heard anything about Wilson’s wife having been involved in sending him to Niger. Libby responded with words to the effect of, “Yeah, I’ve heard that too.”
…
I was surprised last week that the Libby indictment even mentioned me. But apparently his recollection of the conversation differed from mine in a way that led the prosecutor to think he was lying. As for me, I still have no idea if Libby or anyone else has committed a crime. I only know that if there is a Libby trial, I’ll testify truthfully and completely, as I did before the grand jury.

It’ll be interesting to hear what the major difference is, why Fitzgerald thinks Libby is lying and not Cooper, and even if there really is a substantial lie in there at all from either party. Unfortunately, it’s sounding like the trial might be labelled “classified”, so we may not get these answers.
