No Judge is going to allow testimony that strays from the charge in this case or any other case regardless of who he/she was appointed to the bench. It is immaterial to the case, and as such plays no relevance.

As far as Vice President Cheney being implicated, in this trial that will be highly unlike, why??? The Grand Jury is over, and unless direct evidence is presented during testimony there has been no proof of wrong doing on the part of the Vice-President, Karl Rove or the President. The only question is did Libby perjure himself. You will note that he is not being charged with the crime of divulging top secret information, the status of Ms. Plame.

So it would seem despite the report there was no outting of anyone. You know I find it very riduculous, that a woman who was a regular in the DC Social Circle with her husband was at any time covert. If she was, what the hell was she doing in DC, it is against the law for the CIA to spy on American Citizens.
