Name one thing, ace. Where on earth, do you get the confidence from, that enables you to continue to post your skepticism, your continued questioning of Patrick Fitzgerald's decision making? Hasn't everything that he has so delicately pursued, and spoken so infrequently in public about, come to pass, so far?

Host, if you saw the debate last night you probably saw Giuliani comment on the Libby issue. Perhaps, I have no credibility in your book, but what do you say about Giuliani's crdibility and opinion?

MR. GIULIANI: — and he knew a crime wasn’t committed. I recommended over a thousand pardons to President Reagan when I was associate attorney general. I would see if it fit the criteria for pardon. I’d wait for the appeal. I think what the judge did today argues more in favor of a pardon —

MR. BLITZER: Thank you.

MR. GIULIANI: — because this is excessive punishment —

MR. BLITZER: All right.

MR. GIULIANI: — when you consider — I’ve prosecuted 5,000 cases —

MR. BLITZER: I’m trying to get a yes or no. (Laughter.)

MR. GIULIANI: Well, this is a very important issue. This is a very, very important — a man’s life is at stake. And the reality is, this is an incomprehensible situation. They knew who the leak was —

MR. : Say, Wolf, can I explain — (off mike) —

MR. GIULIANI: — and ultimately, there was no underlying crime involved.
