Joe Cotchett, a top Democratic fundraiser, trial lawyer and longtime wine and restaurant partner of San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, has just been named to lead ex-CIA officer Valerie Plame Wilson's big lawsuit against Vice President Dick Cheney, his former chief of staff Lewis "Scooter" Libby and presidential adviser Karl Rove. And with the ex-Army Special Forces Col. Cotchett's take-no-prisoners approach to lawyering, you can bet this case will be a doozy. In the suit, Wilson and her husband, former Ambassador Joe Wilson, accuse Rove, Cheney and Libby of intentionally exposing Valerie Wilson's classified CIA status to reporters in retaliation for ex-envoy Joe Wilson publicly challenging President Bush's evidence justifying the war in Iraq. "Money is not what this case is about," Cotchett said Tuesday.
