And speak of the devil — as the judge and attorneys file into the courtroom, Judge Walton announces a problem with some of the jurors? There was an oversight in the redaction of newspapers, and the photo of Tim Russert and headline ("Tim Russert on the Uncomfortable Side of a Question") accompanying Howard Kurtz's article in the WaPo style section (which is linked above) was seen by some of the jurors. The jury is brought in, and no one 'fesses up to reading the article; a juror who saw the headline and photo immediately called it to marshals' attention. Mistrial averted, we hope.
Russert takes his place on the stand. Wells tries to pick up where he left off, asking why if (as Tim said yesterday) that his chat with Libby was not something he considered confidential, why did he fight the subpoena and file an affidavit saying it was confidential? Did he make a false statement to a federal judge?
It's 9:44am ET.
