re: An entertaining as that no doubt will be, it isn't clear to me how that would help his case. Except that it might make Bush more likely to preempt it and give Libby a pardon.

If you want to take it at face value---

"If the jury learns this background information" about finger-pointing, "and also understands Mr. Libby's additional focus on urgent national security matters, the jury will more easily appreciate how Mr. Libby may have forgotten or misremembered ... snippets of conversation" about Plame's status, the defense lawyers said.

On the other hand, you could read into it that maybe Libby isn't as loyal as the White House leaks, and subsequent press reports have indicated.
