NYT FRIDAY: Rove and Libby have been advised that they may be in serious legal jeopardy, but only this week has Fitzgerald begun to narrow the possible charges. The prosecutor has said he will not make up his mind about any charges until next week, government officials say... Developing...
I am glad you posted that (I was going to). People here had better take this seriously, these posts of "what does Bush care, he isn't running again" are simply political ignorance. this is a play by the Dems for 2006, and the Hillary presidency in 2008.
on the other thread, people keep telling me about what a good reputation Fitzgerald has. that means zero to me, dangle some 7 figure law parternship from a Dem connected firm in front of a person and watch what they turn into.
Here's a hint: When the commander turns his sword over to the enemy commander, the war is over.
One thread said something about Plame planning on suing the government for blowing her cover...but if it turns out that she had no cover because she'd given an interview with Miller as she (or her co-authors) did research for their book, then it would say quite a bit about what sort of a person she is...and given the liar her husband is it wouldn't be a huge surprise.
Hey, Howlin.
I ask that question as well: Why would they "sit out?"
I've always thought conservatives were smarter than the competition. They wouldn't "sit out for spite," would they?
That too, but IMHO he is a Libertarian at heart,
If you 'leak' info about yourself it's not leaking according to the law.
The only way Rove's atty. being the leaker would make any sense whatsoever is if it was the biggest set-up we have ever witnessed. Surely Rove wouldn't hire an idiot to defend him. One who would leak truth from the GJ proceedings. SOOOOOO, the atty. "leaks" bs, watches the press slurp it up, and sits back at this office with Rove, laughing their a**es off at what's REALLY about to happen. This is the only scenario that makes ANY sort of sense. MYGAWD, if that's the case, Rove truly IS the Master of the Universe. All hail Rove!!
Golly.
That could lead to civil war.
I HATE that!!!
Oh, she did? Well, well, that IS what I consider BIG NEWS.
Because Wilson lied about that, too!
MJY, I think that makes FOUR BIG LIES for Wilson just on this thread.
The enemy commander is sitting back and watching the mutiny currently under way.
If it's the NYT, it's probably not true.
I think this should be enough to bring the President off his passive mode.
Forgive the rhyme but its tyme to
Lock and Load!
Watch what they do, not what they say. Look at the edifice that is built on the indefensible Roe v. Wade, much of which Kennedy himself was the author.
Lawrence O'Donnell said Karl Rove's attorney did!
Tucker Carlson pointed out it sure looks like it came right out of Fitzgerald's office.
I agree with you. But the fact that you and I see it that way will not matter one wit to the MSM. This is what they have wanted since Bush took office. We will see every front page NYT on this story for the next year. Same with MSNBC, ABC,NBC,CBS,CNN. They will mould the minds of Americans. The public has not studied this the way you have. The term 'indictment' will be enough, unless the worm entirely turns. The next 3 years will be unfruitful for the conservative cause. This, if true, will push the country farther to the left,reflexivly. Nixon won 49 states after the Watergate breakin. Remember. The story was doggedly pursued by Woodward/Burnstein. Every reporter on the East Coast want the fame, money, and glory of those two. Blood is in the water and, unless there is some strong pushing back and candor about the left the past 12 or 15 years of our fight will be largely lost. We can say hello to President Clinton. If this report is true, this is bad news.
"Actually, I'm warming up to the idea of actually HAVING a trial.
Let's put everybody under oath and see who lies first."
I agree. Let's have a discovery process, put Wilson and Plame under oath and see to whom that leads, and see who in the CIA hierarchy actually made the decision to select Wilson for that mission to Niger and what instructions he was given. And investigate Wilson's shady business background, involving links to Saudi Arabia and Niger gold mines.
LOL.....
The irony is I'm quoting Anthony Kennedy from the case of Lawrence v. Texas.
The real joke about stare decisis, is which precedent to pick from. IOW it don't mean a thing.
