Colin Powell, Armitage’s boss, knew for THREE YEARS that Armitage was the leaker, and kept his mouth shut, while Libby and Rove almost went to prison.

She had no cover. It was not illegal to reveal her name. When Robert Novak called the CIA to ask about her they gave him the information over the phone.

She worked at a desk. She continued to do the same job for two years afterwards. The only reason she quit is she got a big book deal. When it was learned that Karl Rove would not be “frog marched off to jail” the deal fell apart.

Nobody was ever charged with outing her because it was not a crime. Nothing but a dog and pony show just liuke the current Russia Russia Russia thing.

Trump won’t roll over and play nice like W-wuss did.

Libby spent almost three years in prison and that worm, Armitage, didn’t speak up. He is an embarrassment to Americans.

Didn’t Freepers at the time conclude that Plame outed herself?

WHO EVER CARED WHO ‘LEAKED’ PLAME’S NAME??? SHE WASN’T AN OPERATIVE AT THE TIME!!! Oh wait, the Dems could trump up an ‘evil Republicans’ narrative, get a special prosecutor, spend BOATLOADS of taxpayer monies (the MOST important aspect of the whole mess), and get one scalp on MINOR charges,,,,,,,typical Deep State and Uniparty behavior.

I didn’t bother to read the article, but has he apologized to Libby and offered compensation?

At the time, supposedly intelligent conservatives were repeating the lie that Libby had outed an undercover spy. Plame was merely a CIA bureaucrat trying to undermine Bush.

"I feel terrible," Armitage said. "Every day, I think, I let down the president. I let down the secretary of state. I let down my department, my family, and I also let down Mr. and Mrs. Wilson."

Do yo unotice whose name he leaves out? Libby.

They wanted Libby to lie against Cheney.

They want Cohen to lie against Trump.

Libby and Cohen are strictly victimized traps for bigger fish.

Rule of law says it misses the good old days.

She was not deep cover. She was nominal cover, meaning her story was a thin vener and would not stand harsh scrutiny.

Besides she broke her own cover, or her husband did, before this.
