Libby trial: Part Five


Now we're talking about Grossman's 302, but we're in sidebar. She has said she saw it, long after it was written. She's leaning WAY back in her chair.
Wells up again.
Wells: I want to go to different area. (The Libby CP note)
Wells; This is document Libby produced prior to his interview.
DB: No. I believe it was October 21.
W: It was discussed.
DB: Libby brought it. Libby did not give it to us.
W: Jun 12, 2003, Libby had a telephone call during which Cheney disclosed to Libby that Wilson's wife worked in Counter Proliferation. At the very outset of interview, he said to you he had reviewed this exhibit, it had refreshed his recollection, he now recollected that he first learned of Plame from VP.
DB: That's what he claimed.
W: (mad) That's what he said, that's not what he claimed.
DB: He told us that, yes.
W: He told us his name was Scooter Libby
DB: Yes, it took us a long time to get him to tell us what his first initial stood for.
W: He still won't tell me. He also said he was COS to VP.
DB: Yes.
W: He made clear that he did not first learn from Russert, but rather, he learned from Cheney on or about 6/12.
DB: He told us he had forgotten about it until her reviewed his documents. but his first memory of it was that he learned of it from Russert.
W: First memory after criminal investigation started.
DB: I'm not sure his exact words. At the time when we talked to him on 10/14.
W: Do you have a copy of your report.
DB: I didn't bring it up here, no.
W: You know where I can get it
DB: It's probably on that table.
4:40 pm ET
Update 2:
Copy of your notes that you took in that interview.
W: Do you have a recollection that Mr. Libby told you early on during the interview that "early this month" when he was reviewing documents he found notes reflecting a telephone conversation reflecting a conversation.
DB: The 10/03 is October 2003, not October 3.
W: Libby also told you those notes refreshed his memory of his conversation with Cheney
DB: That's what it says.
W: He told you that he recalled being told of Plame
DB: Yes, but that he had forgotten about it
W: He was telling you about his recollection when he was sitting with you.
W: The note says CP and then says Division
DB: At the end.
W: he told you that Mrs Wilson works at Counter proliferation at CIA. The note does not say Wilson worked at a bureau.
DB: No
W: Note does not reflect that Libby said that Mrs Wilson worked at WINPAC. At no time during October interview or November interview did he state that Mrs Wilson worked at a bureau. At no time did he state that he understand that she worked at WINPAC. WRT Date of (CP note) he told you that note prepared one or two days before date 6/12/03.
DB: He told us it was before then, he couldn't place the date.
W That squiggly sign was an approximation.
DB: that's correct.
Court adjourned.
