Fitz explains that the reason for the break was, the GJ testimony on tape was about to discuss David Sanger, and in reading ahead ("because I have no patience") Fitz had realized some material that should have been redacted was not. So they're fixing that right now.
And away we go…
(Fitz brings up Libby talking with David Sanger of the NYT on July 2nd. Shows note saying "talking points - Hardball 7/14, wrong statement," along with others saying "Shapiro - Adam Levine knows," "Eric Sorenson," and "fax a station")
F: Can you clarify these talking points for us
L: First three were points Matthew got wrong, fourth was that Wilson report wasn't definitive, fifth is unclear, maybe that Hadley was told (what?), not Tenet
F: Have you talked to Russert since July 14th & Novak column about uranium/Niger
L: (pause) No
F: Have you talked to him about leak investigation
L: Once, to ask if he would talk to my lawyer
F: Did you talk to him about substance of investigation
L: No
F: Did you talk to him about whether he would testify
L: No
F: Have you talked to people other than your lawyer about what happened in GJ last time
L: (pause) no
F: Have you talked to VP about any of your interviews or testimony
L: Only told him that I would be absent for this general matter
F: Have you spoken to Karl Rove about the investigation since it began?
L: No.
F: Getting back to Russert, you mentioned that you felt you were learning about Wilson's wife for the first time. Any reason why you wouldn't have told VP about this new fact?
L: No.
F: Any recollection of doing so?
L: Question is, did I have time to mention it, didn't have any private time until Air Force Two when we were focused on uranium matter
F: When you spoke to Rove, you remember it being the 11th
L: Yes, was later in the day, I was checking to see if Tenet statement was locked down
F: Being later in the day makes it likely that you didn't talk to VP
L: Yes, private time is usually in AM, don't see him later sometimes
F: Why would it have to be private?
L: (I was distracted and missed this answer)
F: If you were told that Rove left on vacation the morning of the 11th, would that make it more likely that conversation was on 10th or morning of 11th?
L: Probably, WH is indoors, time can run together
(walks through Cooper story)
F: Did Cooper say he had heard about the wife before, when you told him
L: Don't think so
F: Did Miller?
L: Don't think so.
F: Did Kessler?
L: Don't know if I told Kessler that day, but whenever it was, don't think so.
F: So no reporter told you they had already heard about it when you told them?
L: (pause) No.
It's 11:08am ET.
