So to the point of the thread then, he wasn’t a leaker, and in addition one of the witnesses recanted her story so there may have been a question as to whether he was guilty of the charges he was convicted of

Well, he was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice in a case involving someone leaking to the reporter (who you're referencing as the witness) and the claim was he was the source, so he was a leaker (according to the court).

Basically the reporter said years later he wasn't her source. This is also a reporter who was discredited at the time for making up stories to promote and anti-Islamic view. 

So was she lying that her access to high level information was from Libby or was she lying that it wasn't Libby? Either way, someone in his circle leaked the information as a means of political retribution.
