Thanks...I forgot to mention that..

At the top of today's page they have a picture of VP Cheney with a sneer on his face...

AND, on MSNBC last night, when reporting about this they ONLY showed footage of CHENEY!!!

IOW..to the lefties this is a trial against Dick Cheney..and I am praying that Fitzy's obvious concurring attitude makes the jury realize that ...and acquit Libby.

I guess....but, at the end of yesterday's court proceedings I could have sworn that there was indication of time for a sur-rebuttal by Libby's lawyer today...

I guess not.

Bah...didn't Clarice indicate there might be some time for a sur-rebuttal today???

To: Bahbah; Mad Mammoth
A guy claiming to be Larry Johnson threatened Freeper Mad Mammoth a while back; also, a guy claiming to be Larry Johnson threatened a blogger named Seixon.

Larry Johnson has a website called "No Quarter."

He's famous for downplaying the terrorist threat at any opportunity, his best one being an op ed dissing the Bin Laden threat right before 9/11.

Larry's also been quoted in articles writted by Randall Royer- Royer ended up under arrest in the Paintball Cel/VA Jihad investigations... in a cell led by an Iraqi-American named Timimi.

Larry Johnson along with VIPS dork Ray McGovern have written peices for Truthout.com, the website registered on the day before the 9/11 attacks which was caught up in the Capitol Hill Blue "T J Wilkinson" scam which consisted of alleged CIA source who was in on White House meetings, etc. The CHB website sanitized itself rapidly when Wilkinson was called out as a fraud on FR and elsewhere. Truthout is associated with John Kerry staffer Peter Daou & Marc Ash. It's asociated with William Pitt who is in turn buddies with Scott Ritter, who as we know was in the pay- indirectly- of Saddam Hussein.

The blogger Seixon connects Larry Johnson with a reporter named Richard Sale.

I too thought that they were going to allow a surrebuttle after the Fitzfong meltdown, but apparently not if they have gone to jury instructions.

All that is left after that is deliberation and verdict.

I did not think Walton should have allowed Fitz's comments regarding Cheney and Bush because they did not pertain to any of the crimes that Libby was charged with, and they implied the existence of crimes for which no one has been charged. It was inflammatory innuendo unsupported by the evidence presented in the trial, and should not have been allowed.

Memory: Amount of time, circumstances that existed, nature of information or event person is called upon to remember, circumstances that existed when person asked to recall event, amount of time between event and recall, your assessment of memory, any evidence that shed light on memory of individuals.

Earlier statements made not under oath as opposed to these statements.

Earlier statements made under oath–you may consider this earlier statement as proof that what was said in earlier statement was true, as well as to question memory of earlier person.

Earlier consistent statements, you may consider this consistency and as proof that what was said was true.

Ari Fleischer's grant of immunity. Consider whether such testimony furthered witness' own interest.

Law enforcement official's testimony, consider using same guidelines you apply to other witnesses. In no event give greater or less weight.

Right not to testify. Libby has chosen to exercise this right. Do not use this against him. [Hey Walton–How about holding it against him that Cheney didn't testify??]

Consider each count separately. The fact that consider him guilty or not guilty should not influence other counts.

One count you were asked was whether nature would render your ability to render fair verdict.

Now going into charges.

10:32

Going through the Judy Miller part of the Obstruction charge. Just Russert and Cooper. You may however consider evidence presented on conversations with Miller at trial to evaluate whether Obstruction.

Hey, Jane and I are going upstairs. We'll update when we get back!!

Notice the remark by the blogger wanting the judge to have it go against Libby because Cheney didn't testify.

This is all about Cheney.

LOL .... nope ... I'm a female hunter and gatherer ..and so many are right here on FR I also use unique search terms on the net for images. You never know what you'll find, like this ... and THIS evil is what we have to fear and work against, as we see the SHEdevil's legions and wicked plots unfold. I bet she has a team digging dirt and vetting every single presidential candidate as we speak:

I posted to someone last night...that if this is an "OJ" type jury that had a preconceived "plan" to stick to the Bush Admin...they won't be out long...maybe be back tomorrow.

However, if they are going to be honestly deliberative...it could be Tuesday or Wednesday..

That pretty much is the timeline you are saying.

Larry Johnson's involved with VIPS.

VIPS is a front for "Counterpunch."

Counterpunch is run by Alexander Cockburn, the limpwristed writer from the rag "The Nation." Alexander Cockburn is the guy who did the October Surprise Page trick this past election with Florida congressman Foley. Cockburn is also best buds with South Dakota's James Abourezk who is very cozy with pro-Iranian terrorists.

Larry Johnson is associated with Vincent Cannistraro, also involved in the Nigerflap thing through his job at the Vatican... he's probably a little too familiar with the Iraqi amsdor to the Holy See who was also involved in Niger.

Vincent Cannistraro managed - somehow- to arrange an interview of Osama bin Laden himself for ABC News in 1998- but wasn't apparently motivated to pull the same sort of stunt that al Qaeda pulled when it used the occasion of an interview to asassinate Afghan Northern Alliance leader Massood. So Bin LAden was left to continue breathing even after this opporunity arose. The question remains- just who did Cannistraro deal with in arranging the interview of Osama bin Laden?

VIPS member Ray McGovern is linked to the Vietnam War leaker Daniel Ellsberg.

The dumbest thing the Government did was charge too narrow a case and not indict Cheney along with Libby.

Charged Cheney with what?

Conspiracy to do his job?

There is no underlying crime. There is no 'leak.' They were clarifying the record. Just doing their job.

That Wilson managed to frame the question to make it look and sound is quite an accomplishment. One he pulled off only due to sustained and dedicated by the MSM. And one crazed prosecutor with a serious case of BDS.

WH presser RIGHT NOW - cspan-2

discussing the current MSM flocking to the Walter Reed soldiers and their treatment.

Gen. Cody says he didn't know about this building and the problems, and there was a breakdown in leadership. Building 18's name is not appropriate ..will be changed. Soldier's and their families who've been wounded deserve the best care.

Press questions now.

From your article, this Larry Johnson guy who "testified" on Nightline with 4 other CIA agents that Plame was covert all had to be retired from the CIA didn't they?

Meet Larry Johnson:


His barber hates him.
That haircut is straight out of "Dumb and Dumber".
