The former vice presidential aide charged with perjury was "set up" by the White House to protect political strategist Karl Rove during a CIA leak investigation, his lawyer said on Tuesday.
Lewis "Scooter" Libby was so worried that he would be blamed for blowing the cover of a CIA operative that he asked his boss, Vice President Dick Cheney, to intervene on his behalf, defense lawyer Theodore Wells told the jury at the beginning of Libby's perjury trial.
"He was concerned about being set up," Wells said. "He was concerned about being the scapegoat for this entire Valerie Wilson controversy."
Holy crap! Cheney and Rove both get mentioned as being part of the cover-up this early in the trial? This is going to be even better then I could have hoped!
And this is all coming out on the day of the President's State of the Union adress!
Does life get any better then this?
