Plame plans to sue White House officials - (gathering storm lies + barf alert)

Joseph Wilson and his wife, Valerie Plame are preparing to file a civil suit against Bush administration officials.

Plame was the covert CIA agent allegedly unmasked by the White House. Now she is preparing to file a civil lawsuit against the Bush administration officials who may have disclosed her identity and scuttled her career, Salon.com reported Thursday.

"There is no question that her privacy has been invaded. She was almost by definition the ultimate private person," said the couple's attorney, Christopher Wolf.

Wolf said the couple would make a final decision on filing a lawsuit after special prosecutor Patick Fitzgerald has completed his investigation, Salon said.

If they do sue, Wilson and Plame could be the first litigants to depose senior White House officials since Paula Jones, an employee of the state of Arkansas, sued President Bill Clinton.

The private spy

===============================

"It's of keen interest to me to see whether or not we can get Karl Rove frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs. And trust me, when I use that name, I measure my words." -- Joseph Wilson(D)

"Neo-conservatives and religious conservatives have hijacked this administration, and I consider myself on a personal mission to destroy both." -- Joseph Wilson(D)

"Whoever leaked that comment about my wife did it very clearly to smear my good name and my wife's good name." -- Joseph Wilson(D)

"We were just discussing today who would play her in the movie," -- Joseph Wilson(D)

One word............DISCOVERY.

Uh, Paula Jones' suit accused Clinton BEFORE he was President.

It is an open question whether a president can be sued civilly while in the White House.

In any case, Wilson's case is nothing but showboating by a very bitter man who was proven to be a liar by a Senate Committee.

A stretch at best but more to the point a complete joke...

Since we pay her salary....


Should we get involved ^-^

I say, she is not a private citizen.

We as tax payers, should be personally involved with this trial :)

Shall we guess who their lawyer might be?

Richard ben Vineste?

Planning civil action if (or when) the criminal investigation turns up empty.

[STARWISE]

I'm with you .. and if this isn't starting to sound like a major sting operation ... AND she gets to sue AND make a movie ... AND $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ?????????????????????

[sageb1]

Just as Soros is linked to the "case" against Delay, so is he linked to Judy miller, who has been an apologist for him for decades.

[Perdogg]

I could not agree with you more.

[oceanview]

they will be going after Cheney.

[My2Cents]

Plame was the covert CIA agent

Someone, anyone...has this ever been established as fact? Or is it just a myth/lie perpetrated by the MSM?

[Bush 100 Percent]

I'm not a lawyer ..... Would the defense be able to call all of those reporters and make them testify in public? If not, how could there be a fair trial?

[blinachka]

Oh brother! Please Fitzgerald, indict these lying schemers!! Blowhard Wilson and his oh-so-"private" (so private she had her name in "Who's Who" and posed for Vanity Fair and the Social pages...uh-huh...that kind of "private"...). Sheesh!

[STARWISE]

Could you please change "lites" to "lies?" in the parenthetical comment? With the glitching the site was doing when I was posting, my correction didn't go through. There may be dupes of this thread also, FYI. THANK YOU!

[Calpernia]

Then we sue for the money.

How does one learn how to sue?

Can't we hit the dems with a class action or something?

[SoCalPol]

Wilson doesn't care if he wins or not. Just keeping the
story up front while the '06 election gets closer.

Am sure the third party Bush bashers on FR think they are
having a good time but don't know how long they will
enjoy having Hillary as prez.
