It is important for Luskin to get his defense started now because he knows that what one appeals court judge in the case called “the plot against Wilson” is going to become public when the prosecutor reveals everything he has already revealed only to the judges.
In one sense, this case shows the greatest weakness of the two sides tell a story coverage too many in the media have argued is just balance. In this case, every sign is pointing towards a plot to discredit a man and one that used his wife’s covert status as a weapon. The surprise, given the one bit of information that can be gleaned from Fitzgerald, would be if a conspiracy indictment isn’t a part of what he hands down.
