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...
That's why my POTUS puzzles me, he knows how to treat our foreign enemies, but not our domestic ones.
hey, Miers was the one who fired Ben Barnes - that fact can easily be established or refuted. and we know Barnes has always claimed to have "information" about the guard story, he allegedly got a huge severance package - that can also be established to be true if it is - so the connection is not hard to make.
It takes a hell of a lot more than just discussing Plame/Wilson with reporters to break the disclosure rule from my reading of it.
1. The leaker had to know the agent was covert
2. The disclosure had to be part of a pattern
3. The leaker had to believe that the information would impair US Intel
4. The leaker had to know that the analyst's status was classified material
5. That the agent had to have been on assignment in a foreign country within the last 5 years
6. That the leaker must have acted intentionally, knowing that it was the government's intention to take "affirmative measures to conceal [the agent's] relationship."
Novak contact the CIA and they did NOT say dont publish it.
Plames identity was outed in the mid 1990s both by the Russians and the Cubans.
The law itself was NOT broken, im not a lawyer but i can read.
I agree with you. But, fight from the inside, not outside.
That's right.
But I wish somebody would show me in the Constitution where it says staffers get a pick?
I thought you were more level headed that that. You've really lost it tonight quid. Get ahold of yourself. Things are not that bleak.
I continue to believe this is the NYT with their demonicRAT marching orders. They're trying to deflect big-time, so it must be something pretty bad the RATs are hiding.
FR is that way, sometimes we're united, sometimes not. At least we're not lockstep as the dems are.
With every post, you are looking sillier and siller.
Do you not think people on this site can READ what you're posting...........LOL.
Only the POTUS gets to pick
But no where in the constitution does it say that anyone has to vote for the POTUS's pick.
For anyone who is a regular to FR, that actually means something.
You're absolutely right. Lucky you, you've met POTUS twice!
A lot of us here on FR actively work in campaigns. We are the GOP base --- we vote. We do not stay home or vote third party "to send a message" and thus, reward democrats.
Good to make your acquaintance here tonight.
Of course, you do realize that that is exactly why they are "them" and we are "us," right?
...uh...we can read what's not posted to us?..damn...I've got some reading to catch up on...:)
LOL! Now you have me laughing too...lol.
Anyone doesn't vote for the POTUS's pick, only senators.
Now THAT is hilarious. Thanks
Hey, I love ya, but gimme a break.
The GOP has won 7 of the last 10 Presidential elections. It has had control of the entire government for six. But things aren't turning around, they're still rolling in the socialist direction. Rather than seize the opportunity to enact the agenda that elected them, the GOP has instead seized the public treasury and emptied it. This is not progress - this is more of the same.
