Reply #47: From What I Have Heard So Far, I Would Advise Libby Not To Testify....

[Blackhatjack]

... His attorneys already have enough evidence, to make reasonable inferences therefrom, that Libby had a failure of memory and raise it as a defense.

If Libby takes the stand now, he can be asked questions about anything relevant to the case or the defenses. Right now Libby and his attorneys know what he is facing, his record is set and open to characterize as 'reasonable doubt.'

If Libby is questioned by Fitz, he will be making new additions to that record which could be very damaging --and the jury would have the opportunity to observe his demeanor while testifying to help determine if he is telling the truth or not.

Keep in mind that after the prosecution has rested its case, the possibility of Libby accepting a negotiated plea offer goes way up IF one is still on the table from Fitz.
