Fitz charged Libby with Obstruction of Justice. I'm pretty sure you can't convict someone with obstructing justice unless you can prove that they hampered the investigation of a crime. If there was no crime, there can be no obstruction of justice. IOW, if there was no leak, Libby can't be guilty of obstruction.
Not only must Fitz believe that someone commited the crime of leaking the name of a CIA agent, he must also believe that in the long run he can prove it. If he didn't, I don't see him bringing the charge against Libby.
