Finally? They knew it was Armitage before the SC even got off the ground.
There are clear parallels between the Plamegate Investigation and the Trump-Russia Collusion Investigation.
In both cases:
The Attorney General of the Department of Justice recused himself from involvement.
Plamegate: John Ashcroft.
Trump-Russia: Jeff Sessions
The Deputy Attorney General appointed a Special Counsel:
Plamegate: James Comey
Trump-Russia: Rod Rosenstein.
The alleged criminal act which was the predicate for the investigation was bogus:
Plamegate: The leaker was known before the investigation began, but hidden.
Trump-Russia: Based on a politically-driven, fake dossier targeting Donald Trump.
The subsequent investigation was supported by the Director of the F.B.I.
Plamegate: Robert Mueller III
Trump-Russia: James Comey
The parallel M.O.s are self-evident.
What isnt self-evident is why Trump would, at this time, pardon Libby.
Try this explanation: Donald Trump wants the current leadership of the U.S. Department of Justice and their Special Counsel to know that he knows their M.O.
And, while they got away with it once, they wont get away with a second time.
Trump knows the Deep State, and he is not George W. Bush.
I stand corrected. I stated as much in my first comment. See? Even I get caught up in the ruse. Thanks for the assist.
What Lying to Federal Officials
Scooter was jailed for miss remembering. They got him on lying to federal officials.
You mean Hillary and Comey could go to JAIL for LYING to Federal Officials? Now that would make my day... DO IT !!
Russert lied and Fitz made him lie to protect his case. Russ denied, on the stand remembering uttering his first time in 100 years catch phrase.
That's probably why Bush never went hunting with him. LOL
Nice deconstruction.......good job.
Conclusions are spot on.
I think Bush didn’t pardon him, because Bush was a liberal the last few years of his Administration.
The other witness was a hostile one, Tim Russert.
One of the jurors was a journalist.
At least one juror had a conflict of interest and should never have been in the pool.
As for Judith Miller, a note she wrote in her journal was ambiguous and she insists Fitzy deliberately misinterpreted it to use against Libby.
Thank you, piasa, for correcting my hazy memory.
The Bush's ARE, ARE the deep state.
Do you remember the Republicans proudly hailing little Georgy as someone, who while Governor of Texas, successfully worked with Democrats? - Is this not the Definition of RINO?
“Bush and Clinton mena AK”
I think you mean AR, Mena’s not in Alaska ;-)
Is.
Bush was a globalist for his entire administration, he just had most of us fooled for most of it.
Bush should have done a lot of things....like pardoning those border patrol guys.
But wasn’t Cheney also a globalist?
Yes, we have has nothing but globalists to vote for since Reagan.
That was intentional, the Bush League Republicans have been trying to steal our country from US by flooding it with foreigners.
But I am saying that Bush was worried about the media at the end of his Administration and liberals.
He was affirmative action general Powell’s right hand man and Powell posing as a Republican has always been the darling of the media as well as the democrats.
