Jeebus, it looks like the entire SCLM has been co-opted by Fitzgerald’s targets and subjects so they can leak messages to each other, and influence each other’s testimony, all with plausible deniability .. For this, we have the First Amendment?

Anyhow, that kind of behavior gets professional prosecutors very interested. Murray Waas (you know, David and Don’s brother…) reports:

Four former federal prosecutors said in interviews that if Libby did anything to discourage Miller from testifying in the case, it might be construed as possible obstruction of justice or witness-tampering, and that a thorough prosecutor, such as Fitzgerald, would logically make an extensive inquiry as to what occurred.

Dan Richman, a professor at Fordham Law School and a former federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York, said in an interview that while he could not speak specifically about what occurred between Tate and Abrams, an “attorney encouraging a witness to withhold information from a grand jury when the witness had no right to withhold is engaging in obstructive behavior.”

It’s the coverup that kills you, isn’t it?

A lesson each generation of Republicans has to learn all over again….
