Busy weekend for Jeralyn at TalkLeft. First, the Cliffs Notes version of the week in review with a brief interlude to comment on the strained credulity of insulating the OVP. Up at dawn (quipping that trial lawyers never sleep when they are in trial) Jeralyn offers an analysis of Fitzgerald’s newest motive for Libby Lies™. Finally, a brief discussion on the impact of Rove taking the stand alongside some analysis on the merits of memory.

Apparently between Beckham in LA, the $2 Sterling, and a vigilante samurai, the UK press has little to say on the Libby trial. Not so on the MBA blogging credentials, however - expect a video clip from the BBC interview with Robert Cox over the next few days?

BTC News highlights the sound of silence in the mainstream media over revelations that the OVP regarded NBC’s Russert as a patsy of sorts.

Firedoglake wraps up their stint with some musings over Fleischer’s upcoming role and analysis of Team Libby’s self-inflicted damage over “one, petty, groundless and unnecessary stunt.”

Bidding adieu to the courtroom, James Joyner reminisces on the process noting that journalism can often be tedious and, for now at least, he’ll stick with analysis.

Finally, as Joyner departs, we shout a big welcome to Rory O’Conner and Kevin Aylward who will be live in the courtroom this week.
