Justice Rules Requires Fitzgerald to Throw Out Libby Indictment: Jed Babbin says to John Batchelor
http://johnbatchelorshow.com/ ^ | November 16, 2005

Posted on 11/16/2005 8:36:28 PM PST by new yorker 77

This comes in the wake of the Woodward revelation that a former administration official discussed Plame/Flame with Bob Woodward before Libby ever spoke to a reporter. Also, that Woodward can not recall if he revealed the information to Libby.

I am paraphrasing what I heard on tonight's John Batchelor Program during the 10:30 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. EST time slot on 770 WABC here in New York.

Keep in mind that the last time I posted iformation from this program it was regarding John Fund saying Harriet Meirs Harriet Meirs nomination will be pulled. My post was two weeks before it actually happened.

FYI: I just heard Jed Babbin, a contributing editor for The American Spectator, say that Justice Department rules will force Fitzgerald to throw out the Libby Indictments. The Justice Department rule in question states that a prosecutor under juristdiction of the Justic Department can not proceed with an indictment if that prosecutor finds that facts material to the indictment are proven to be false in a continuing investgation by the prosecitor after the indictment was handed down.

Options Given By Babbin:

Either, 1)He throws out the indictment or it will be thrown out for him by a judge.

2)If he's stupid, he takes it to trial only to lose. Or.

3)He must start from scratch with a new Grand Jury with Justice Department permission that may take years to reinvestigate everyone and their mother.

Heh Fritz, how about looking into that trip of Senator Rockerfeller, (D) WV? I'm not an expert on the law, but surely you are.

The sweet irony in this is that Woodward, the sainted journalist of Watergate fame, may derail the Dem's try at creating another Watergate scandal.

Karma!!

Levin's on this???

Done deal, then.

I hope it gets thrown out. I cannot express how much fun it would be to toss this back into the face of one of my socialist co-workers.

Or at least to sit back and watch him pi$$ all over himself. ("It's a cover up...Bush has cronies at Justice...blah, blah")

Under Rules for Grand Juries

9-11.233 Presentation of Exculpatory Evidence

In United States v. Williams, 112 S.Ct. 1735 (1992), the Supreme Court held that the Federal courts' supervisory powers over the grand jury did not include the power to make a rule allowing the dismissal of an otherwise valid indictment where the prosecutor failed to introduce substantial exculpatory evidence to a grand jury. It is the policy of the Department of Justice, however, that when a prosecutor conducting a grand jury inquiry is personally aware of substantial evidence that directly negates the guilt of a subject of the investigation, the prosecutor must present or otherwise disclose such evidence to the grand jury before seeking an indictment against such a person. While a failure to follow the Department's policy should not result in dismissal of an indictment, appellate courts may refer violations of the policy to the Office of Professional Responsibility for review.

Could this be the rule they are referring to?

I posted what I heard.

Type in 75% in the search part of news/activism here on freerepublic.

Scroll down to the John Fund/Batchelor show on Harriet Meirs.

Read the posts mocking my post which was two weeks before her withdrawal.

FYI means FYI.

Somewhere, Dick Nixon's got a big sh!t-eating grin on his face.
