Mitchell Mystery update
Tom Maguire who knows more about the Libby case than anyone is back. As to the Mitchell Mystery we wrote about yesterday, he says he thinks the disputed notes indicate that Mitchell did know about Plame when she spoke to Libby. She is being called to impeach the credibility of Tim Russert and throw the trial into chaos, because if she knew about Plame, his claim that he didn't is less believable.
Tom adds:
"Logicians and literalists will argue that even if Russert *did* mention Plame to Libby on the 10th, that can't explain how Libby leaked about Plame to Miller on the 8th.
The rest of us will wonder, gee, if Russert misled the prosecutor (presumably to protect his or Andrea's sources), what other reporters also misled him?
