"No leak, no leak crime. It's as simple as that. Scooter Libby can clear his good name, as this very, very recent news shows. NOTE: He has to, because a conviction could cripple the administration and hurt the cause of good government for years to come. He can do it"
Maybe the lawyers here could help me out. President Clinton was impeached but not convicted for lying under oath during an investigation where charges were never brought on the original charge. And now we see a situation where Libby is charged with lying about during an investigation where the original charges are likely to never be charged.
So, is it or is it not a crime to lie to investigators if what they are investigating turns out to not be a crime? I guess this is something I should know...but I don't.
2. BREWSTER-JENNINGS = BURKE DENNEHY (PLAME'S EMPLOYER) Brewster Jennings apparently was the name of an account at this accounting company in Boston. It may well have been a CIA account, but people associated with it did not consider it to be a secret.
3. ROBERT ELLMANN, JEAN C. EDWARDS named as BREWSTER EMPLOYEES (first since Plame). THEY PUT THEIR RESUMES ON THE WEB. http://colombia.indymedia.org/news/2006/03/38643.php MARCH 7 What has Libby or anyone else done that compares to that?
4. MARCH 12: CHICAGO TRIBUNE PICKS UP ON ABOVE (1, 3) FIVE DAYS LATER. Another sign of Brewster-Jennings' link to the CIA came from the online résumé of a Washington attorney, who until last week claimed to have been employed by Brewster-Jennings as an "engineering consultant" from 1985 to 1989 and to have served from 1989 to 1995 as a CIA "case officer," the agency's term for field operatives who collect information from paid informants. case officer (MARCH 12)
5. TRIBUNE SAYS BREWSTER REMOVED FROM RESUMES AFTER TRIB CALLED EDWARDS. TRIBUNE SAYS BREWSTER REMOVED FROM RESUMES AFTER TRIB CALLED EDWARDS
6.LEFT-WING CRAPTOME PUBLISHES ORIGINAL RESUMES. LEFT-WING CRAPTOME PUBLISHES ORIGINAL RESUMES. YES, THE CIA RESUMES ARE HERE TO SEE (Friday, March 17, 2006) and the Indymedia article pans out.
This could be critical for Scooter. It shows he was entrapped so he could be removed from office.
No leak, no crime. Entrapment, no time. Other likely defenses include Scooter's preoccupation with the people's business, also the difficulty of trying a case in which the CIA blocks the discovery of evidence by the defense (some things like the Presidents Daily Briefs really must be kept secret; other things are blocked by Scooter's enemies in the CIA using "classified information" as a ploy).
Wow--welcome!!
