Was Judith Miller’s Trip to Jail Necessary?
New York Law Journal, April 6, 2007
Now that the dust has settled in the I. Lewis (“Scooter”) Libby trial, was it necessary to have put Judith Miller in jail? The answer is no.
Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald did not need her. He had plenty of other witnesses to convict Mr. Libby without her. He had seven government employees and two journalists (Matt Cooper and Tim Russert) to say Mr. Libby lied.
Further, Mr. Fitzgerald knew he had these witnesses before forcing Ms. Miller, against her will, to become an additional one. All these witnesses testified at the grand jury before Ms. Miller was subpoenaed. She was virtually the last.
Mr. Fitzgerald should have stopped, looked and listened before provoking a major press controversy by jailing Ms. Miller. But he did not.
