Vallely states that "Wilson can make statements, yet he is never called to testify". BINGO. Exactly what many of us have said for a couple years. Why is Wilson so exempt from any sworn testimony? I hope to God that Libby's LOYYAS grill him to death in front of the nation. I want him frogmarched, nothing less.
why is WIlson exempt from testimony? well, who is investigating anything regarding Wilson? Fitzgerald isn't.
I smell the beginings of a deal to drop all charges for Scooter here - Wilson grilled on the stand for hours on end (lie , upon lie, upon lie exposed) - the dims can't want that...
"Why is Wilson so exempt from any sworn testimony"
There is a lot of talk of a CIA investigation. If this happens, I believe he will have to testify.
I can't wait.
Won't happen. The prosecution will argue that "Amb. Wilson is not on trial here!"
There used to be an ex-CIA guy who lived in the area where I grew up. Everytime the feds started putting pressure on him about some of his activities, he'd call up a reporter and the local small town paper, and give a carefully nuanced interview, ususally concluding with a statement that he might have some more detail later. The federal investigation would vanish, and he'd drop from sight again.
I don't know if that sheds any light on why the feds won't lean on Wilson. My guess is that his former (or perhaps current) employer is worried about what he might spill.
