Cheney may be called in CIA leak case
TONI LOCY
Associated Press

WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney could be called to testify in the perjury case against his former chief of staff, a special prosecutor said in a court filing Wednesday.

Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald suggested Cheney would be a logical government witness because he could authenticate notes he jotted on a July 6, 2003, New York Times opinion piece by a former U.S. ambassador critical of the Iraq war.

Fitzgerald said Cheney's "state of mind" is "directly relevant" to whether I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, the vice president's former top aide, lied to FBI agents and a federal grand jury about how he learned about CIA officer Valerie Plame's identity and what he subsequently told reporters.

Libby "shared the interests of his superior and was subject to his direction," the prosecutor wrote. "Therefore, the state of mind of the vice president as communicated to (the) defendant is directly relevant to the issue of whether (the) defendant knowingly made false statements to federal agents and the grand jury regarding when and how he learned about (Plame's) employment and what he said to reporters regarding this issue."

8. yes that's all that matters

how do these crooks even get an opportunity
to testify NOT under oath... I mean.. what's the point
without an oath???

6. If it's in front of the Grand Jury he'll have every chance for perjury.

Lying to a governmental agent (Fitz) who was given the powers (in this case) equal to the Attorney General...I'm not a lawyer, but it sounds like lying to Fitz is like lying to the Attorney General, as far as the Libby case is concerned.

Any lawyers not billing at this hour who'd like to weigh in?

7. See above^
