Aren't you comments directly contradicted by the jury verdict in the case?

the key word in the definition as it applies to my opinion is "material". I have not seen or heard the evidence that would support that Libby's statements in question were material.
How am I supposed to prove that without haven reviewed the testimony in detail. Given that I have not done that, my opinion is an opinion and I admit it is superficial. I have also clearly stated my lack of understanding of this issue.
If you have not reviewed the testimony in detail, then your opinion is a superficial opinion or you are regergitating the opinion of others. Have you reviewed the testimony or are you just citing talking points prepared by others, who perhaps have not reviewed all the testimony either?
P.S. Feel free to ignore the question, since it is kind of a trap.
