CIA leak prosecutor refuses to turn over evidence to Libby

That’s Byron’s headline. What evidence did Fitzgerald refuse to turn over? Let’s see:

In a December 14, 2005, letter to Fitzgerald, Libby’s lawyers asked for “Any assessment done of the damage (if any) caused by the disclosure of Valerie Wilson’s status as a CIA employee.” In the same letter, Libby’s team asked for “All documents, regardless of when created, relating to whether Valerie Wilson’s status as a CIA employee, or any aspect of that status, was classified at any time between May 6, 2003 and July 14, 2003.”

Did Fitzgerald refuse to turn over evidence? Sadly, No!

Fitzgerald declined both requests. “A formal assessment has not been done of the damage caused by the disclosure of Valerie Wilson’s status as a CIA employee, and thus we possess no such document,” he wrote in a January 9, 2006, response.

Part II:

Fitzgerald wrote, “We have neither sought, much less obtained, ‘all documents, regardless of when created, relating to whether Valerie Wilson’s status as a CIA employee, or any aspect of that status, was classified at any time between May 6, 2003 and July 14, 2003[.]

Is reading really that hard?
