Fitzgerald claims that Libby is trying to sabotage the criminal case against him.

A federal prosecutor argues Lewis "Scooter" Libby, former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, is trying to sabotage the criminal case against him by insisting through his lawyers that he be given sensitive government documents for his defense.

In a court filing on Thursday night, the prosecutor said requests by Libby's lawyers for documents, including the daily intelligence briefs given to the president for nearly a year, were "a transparent effort at 'graymail.' "

The prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, said the requests for a large amount of sensitive information beyond what they had been given were unjustified.

Graymail is the practice of discouraging a prosecution from proceeding by contending that a defendant may need to disclose classified or sensitive information as part of a full defense. Such an approach can force the government to choose between dropping the prosecution or allowing the information to be disclosed at a trial.

I am not at all surprised at these these bullshit tactics. I would expect nothing less from this administration then to claim that the case would reveal top secret information and therefore may not continue.

I have much faith in Patrick Fitzgerald and I believe that he will not take these cowardly tactics lightly. Go get them Fitzy!
