Mr. Wells argued that Mr. Russert may have been biased in favor of the government because of an agreement his lawyer reached with prosecutors. Before Mr. Russert agreed to testify for the government, he challenged the subpoena from Patrick J. Fitzgerald, the chief prosecutor, arguing that to do so would violate deeply-held principles that a reporter should not discuss his confidential conversations with investigators.
But at the time Mr. Russert had already discussed his conversation with Mr. Libby with an F.B.I. agent and Mr. Wells asserted that Mr. Fitzgerald agreed not to raise that matter because it would have exposed Mr. Russert as a hypocrite and undercut his television statements that he was standing up for the First Amendment and reporters’ rights.
this is from the NY Times, it just proves that Russert is a pos and hes also a liar. It sucks that he can get up on National television and say hes supporting first amendment rights and behind the scenes hes making special deals with the prosecutor. I wont say Libby is innocent of perjury but this whole thing is a mockery of the judicial system. I think Thomas Jefferson said when you start a revolution you have to kill the judges first.
