In sworn testimony before the Waxman committee, Valerie (Garbo) Plame testified:

“I‚ÄúI did not recommend him (Joe Wilson), I did not suggest him, I did not have the authority.‚Äù‚Äù

Not exactly correct:

Via: Tom McGuire:

“(1) Was Valerie involved in sending Joe?

“I did not recommend him. I did not suggest him. There was no nepotism involved. I did not have the authority,” she said.

That conflicts with senior officials at the CIA and State Department, who testified during Libby’s trial that Plame recommended Wilson for the trip.

Including a former cohort for whom I referenced before who is still spitting out “Bullshit” even as we play the tapes.

Libby was indicted for less than this.

UPDATE: Reader notes that there were peculiarities in the way Waxman swore in Plame. I wonder why?

UPDATE II: I’ll post on it later, but here is Victoria’s Toensing’s testimony, it’s killer.

UPDATE III: More from TM – Perhaps Waxman needs to be dragged off. Heh, still have me cuffs.
