Don’t forget the trial of Scooter Libby, coming to a news channel near you, in January. Although it hasn’t been making the front page news for a long while, there are no sleeping dogs over at Firedoglake, where the bloodhounds are always following the scent.

Today, Christy Hardin Smith wrote a nice update under the heading On With The Show…

So far, the run-up to the trial seems sunny and peaceful, but it is unlikely to stay that way for long. One of the key issues is whether or not VEEP Cheney will be called as a witness. Fitzpatric is being coy about this, but my money is on the table that he WILL be called.

And why does this have anything to do with impeachment? Because, IMHO, the one who is really on the dock may not be Scooter Libby, but VEEP the creep.

*Update:* Blogger “emptywheel” over on DailyKos is also merrily reviewing his Fitzmas presents today, too, covering much the same ground as Christy Hardin Smith, but with his own take on the consequences. Perhaps the biggest news that both make note of is that “Fitzgerald wants to submit all of Libby’s grand jury testimony into evidence.” This covers a lot! As emptywheel paraphrases Libby’s Team Defense (in a somewhat free-spirited translation of the legaleze),

I said some really incriminating things to the grand jury. And I provided a whole lot of evidence that my motive for lying was to protect Dick. We need to know if you’re going to publish this now, so we can respond accordingly.

Wheeeeee! This looks like it could be fun!

More seriously, keep an eye on this, folks.

Have a Merry Fitzmas,
Bob
