A Close hearings for Libby's case


Closed hearings ordered in Libby CIA leak case

A federal judge has ordered a series of closed hearings to determine if Vice President Cheney's former top aide, I Lewis "Scooter" Libby, can use certain classified information as a defense during his trial in the CIA/Leak case.
Judge Reggie Walton ordered two sets of closed door hearings. The first, to begin on September 25th, and "continue everyday thereafter until completed," will be to make all determinations concerning the use, relevance, or admissibility of classified information that would otherwise be made during the trial. The second set of closed hearing, set to begin October 10th, will deal with classified information the judge has determined to be admissible at trial.
The judge also ordered that the government's declassification team be present at both hearings.

I've been so busy lately as Peaches is on vacation and my nerves were on edge as she had a stop over in Iraq. She's on US soil now, thank God. I have to send some ties and stuff for the little angel to be ready to present his GQ appearance as the corrupt legal team spends their stolen money for clothes. I know Judge Walton is going to ask what happen and did Fitz get a designer as he sports the new look and smell of the man others will wonder can they get what he got. I'm good I just didn't know he needed these things so soon. I'm on the job Little Angel I'll give Peaches your love.
