Tim Russert: liar or a faulty memory like the rest of us?

In cross-examination today by Scooter Libby' s lawyers, Mr. Russert had to explain some inconsistencies in his prior statements, both in the affidavit to federal investigators and his on-air comments. Mr. Russert reportedly appeared uncomfortable at times.

Mr. Russert, do you know that it is a criminal offense (felony) to either lie to federal investigators or to lie to under oath? Perhaps Mr. Russert will be a future defendant if the "standards" of Mr. Fitzgerald are used fairly in persecutions, I mean, prosecutions.
