Thanks for your replies here.
The link in your post #159 on
THIS THREAD yesterday is what me really understand this case a lot better.
That's the link to lawyer Victoria Toensing's Washington Post article about the fact there was no crime committed, because she was not covert, since among other factors, she was not living abroad for five years -- and, Victoria Toensing co-wrote the subject federal law in this matter!
i noticed Lawrence lassie O'Donnell quoted her in that article practiclarly word for word last night on CNN. Meanwhile, David Corn and other liberals still have no clue.
I think the real fall-out in this case with respect the blogger point of view, will be the anger the liberal bloggers feel against the journalists who were "protecting" Karl Rove, when Rove had committed no crime -- according to Lawrence O'Donnell NOW -- and had already signed a waiver releasing the reporters from any confidentiality agreement -- which Lawrence O'Donnell STILL hasn't told the bloggers, since doing so would ruin his big "scoop" claim.
This failure of the journalists to get the facts out, when
American Prospect already had published facts about Rove a year ago, is what really angered some of the liberal bloggers.
And, I think they are right to be angry at the journalists. It seems to me no journalist was ever threatened with going to jail for protecting Karl Rove!
Also, Victoria Toensing's article you linked to is particularly interesting in light of the fact no one else ever mentioned it recently -- yet, she is the co-author of the subject federal law! Again, only on FR do you get the facts!!
