Scooter is only being tried for perjury. Fitz's investigation is much more broad than Libby's perjury charges and, therefore, the only documents that are relevant to Libby's defense are those which prove or disprove that he lied to the grand jury. Conspiracies, who leaked, etc. are not the issue... the sole issue is that he lied. Fitz is trying to prevent the defense from obtaining all the other documents which are totally UNRELATED to the charge of perjury.

In addition, keep in mind that Fitz has not closed his investigation. He certainly doesn't want to turn over his cards!
