Judy is not the main course at all. What I suspect Fitzgerald had to do was eliminate the defense, namely that Miller and Cooper and other reporters were the source of the identity of "Wilson's Wife" as CIA NOC. Remember we have already been through this defense as PR over the past couple of years -- Wilson's wife scrubbed floors at CIA, she was a lowly secretary, an apprentise in the Directorate of Intelligence -- she ran the travel bureau -- defenses that would all exclude her identity as a NOC. I suspect that is what transpired today, so Fitzgerald's positive case can now emerge.
This theory seems to make a lot of sense. Judy was the last reporter involved in this case to testify and Karl's defense was that he heard it from a journalist but he can't remember who it was or what they talked about. Libby said he heard it from Tim Russert which Tim Russert denies. Fitz just needed her to demonstrate that she wasn't the original source of the leak, therefore destroying Karl and Scooter's line of defense that they heard it from reporters. According to WaPo, Judy testified the way Scooter wanted her to testify as outlined in the love letters by saying that he never knowingly revealed that Plame was CIA but that may have not been Fitzgerald's goal in getting her testimony.
David Corn has this to say:
For anyone following the matter, it's impossible not to guess about what's going on and what Fitzgerald will do. His grand jury expires at the end of October. He could impanel a new one and keep investigating. But all indications suggest he's close to done. One person who recently had contact with Fitzgerald and his attorneys says that they seem confident about whatever it is they are pursuing. The Miller matter was something of a sideshow that at times drew more attention than the central issue.
Fitzgerald and his team seem confident about the case. If the Miller matter was a sideshow then the real show must be a doozy.
