"Whether Armitage told a reporter(Novak) or not does not automatically remove the official classification of an intelligence agent."This is precisely the thrust of Fitzgerald's latest filing. He's getting it on the record that an SF 312 violation happened, and I suspect that's what is going to lead to the other players. If Libby violated his NDA, then others did too. The Q&A booklet given to all who sign an SF 312 states that prior disclosure of classified information doesn't get anyone off the hook:
Question 19: If information that a signer of the SF 312 knows to have been classified appears in a public source, for example, in a newspaper article, may the signer assume that the information has been declassified and disseminate it elsewhere?Answer: No. Information remains classified until it has been officially declassified. Its disclosure in a public source does not declassify the information. Of course, merely quoting the public source in the abstract is not a second unauthorized disclosure. However, before disseminating the information elsewhere or confirming the accuracy of what appears in the public source, the signer of the SF 312 must confirm through an authorized official that the information has, in fact, been declassified. If it has not, further dissemination of the information or confirmation of its accuracy is also an unauthorized disclosure.
Fitzgerald is heading straight for the outing of a NOC. I think a lot of people's careers are going to burn up before their very eyes.
