New revelations surface regarding chief of staff Libby in CIA leak case
In two appearances before the federal grand jury investigating the leak of a covert CIA operative's name, Scooter Libby, the chief of staff to Vice President Cheney, did not disclose crucial conversations that he had with New York Times ho-bag Judith Miller in June 2003 about Valerie Plame, according to sources with firsthand knowledge of his sworn testimony.
In recent days [special prosecutor Patrick] Fitzgerald has expressed significant interest in whether Libby may have sought to discourage Miller - either directly or indirectly through her attorney - from testifying before the grand jury, or cooperating in other ways with the criminal probe
A senior Justice official added that even in the absence of hard evidence of an obstruction, "a prosecutor is going to want to know why a subject of (the) investigation did not want a witness to co-operate, and why they would allow someone to linger in jail for more than eighty days, unless they had something to hide. That is going to lead many prosecutors to redouble his efforts."
