Nailed: How Fitzgerald Got the Notebook

When a prosecutor first questioned Miller during her initial grand jury appearance on September 30, 2005 sources said, she did not bring up the June 23 meeting in recounting her various contacts with Libby, the chief of staff to Vice President Cheney. Pressed by prosecutors who then brought up the specific date of the meeting, Miller testified that she still could not recall the June meeting with Libby, in which they discussed a controversial CIA-sponsored mission to Africa by former Ambassador Joe Wilson, or the fact that his wife, Valerie Plame, worked for the CIA.

Then Fitzgerald pulled out the Secret Service logs from the White House from June 23rd. This meeting, which she repeatedly “couldn’t remember” under oath, led to the notes of the meeting, which had the CIA agent’s name – and Libby’s – in them. So much for a champion of truth and journalism, Judith Miller is just a liar, period.
