No digging necessary. This should be very simple to understand. If Fitz or his investigators did not talk to Mitchell at all, he has two things which reflect poorly on him. 1. Not talking to one of the leading journalists on this matter, and someone who works directly for Russert, would seem to be a dereliction of duty for a prosecutor who spent 22 months investigating it. 2. Fitz's declaration that nobody in the media knew Plame's employment status would have been made on a false basis, lacking any foundation. With regard to whether Mitchell lied... 1. If she lied to the TV interviewer in 2003, Fitz should have reconciled that seeming contradiction in the indictment or during his presser. 2. If she lied to his investigators, she should have been indicted just like Libby.

You are arguing with the jello faction here. ANdrea Mitchell is an NBC employee. Her boss is Tim Russert. According to the indictment, Tim says he was unaware that Mrs. Wilson worked at the CIA until he heard it from Libby. She, on the other hand, claims everyone working the story knew. Obviously, it would be very interesting to get Mrs. Greenspan up on the stand and have her explain. Perhaps she didn't think it important to convey to her boss, recently anointed in the NYT as no less than the premier interlocutor of the Washington press corps, that Mrs. Wilson worked for the CIA. Perhaps she didn't know that Big Tim was working the story clueless. Perhaps she is confused. But this is silly sideshow mounted by the jello faction to distract attention from the main event and coming attractions. M2
