1. The Press Release has the statments he lied about
Edited on Fri Oct-28-05 12:25 PM by bushmeat
When Libby spoke with Tim Russert of NBC on or about July 10, 2003, Russert
asked Libby if Libby knew that Wilson’s wife worked for the CIA, and told
Libby that all the reporters knew it; and Libby was surprised to hear that Wilson’s
wife worked for the CIA; when, in fact, Libby knew Russert did not ask Libby
if Libby knew that Wilson’s wife worked for the CIA, nor did Russert tell Libby
that all the reporters knew it. And, at the time of this conversation, Libby was
well aware that Wilson’s wife worked at the CIA and Libby had participated in
multiple prior conversations concerning this topic;

Libby advised Matt Cooper of Time magazine on or about July 12, 2003, that he
had heard that other reporters were saying that Wilson’s wife worked for the CIA,
and further advised him that Libby did not know whether this assertion was true;
when, in fact, Libby did not advise Cooper during that conversation that Libby
had heard other reporters were saying that Wilson’s wife worked for the CIA, nor
did Libby advise him that Libby did not know whether this assertion was true.
Rather, Libby confirmed to Cooper, without qualification, that Libby had heard
that Wilson’s wife worked at the CIA; and

Libby advised Judith Miller of The New York Times on or about July 12, 2003,
that he had heard that other reporters were saying that Wilson’s wife worked for
the CIA but Libby did not know whether that assertion was true; when, in fact,
Libby did not advise Miller during that conversation that Libby had heard other
reporters were saying that Wilson’s wife worked for the CIA, nor did Libby
advise her that Libby did not know whether this assertion was true
