Sounds like Drudge was wrong on what the article would be.,
Welcome to FR! If this is your first post, it's a good one.
Drudge is a bit closer to the actual story.
If the NYT is reporting that there may not be any indictments, there must be something to this. Does this indicate some truth hitting the ashen Grey Lady in the face? A little backtracking to CYA? I can't wait for the facts to come out...I think journalists' credibility is taking another dive with all of the innuendo and supposition. Oh well, too bad.
"If true Chrissy Matthew's head will explode."
That is something I would like to see!!
Martha Stewart probably was guilty of insider trading and so there is at least an ounce of rationale (but not much more) for the pursuit of her case on a perjury basis.
But this is not a "lack of evidence" case since Ms. Plame did not fall under the protection of the applicable national security statute.
How can possibly justify indicting someone for being "untruthful" about their own perfectly legal actions? Beats me. Maybe there is a lawyer somewhere who can explain it.
An error of omission? That is far different from lying about it a la "I did not have sex with that woman."
I think this is phoney.
One difference between Fitzmas and Christmas is that on Fitzmas morning you might wake up to a pile of horse manure, but there's no pony!
It happens all the time. Its called perjury. Lying under oath. If Libby or Rove lied under oath, they should be held accountable.
what's phoney?
I wish people would read my postings. I posted the section 1623. There is a lot of important stuff in it.
NYT is outraged at leaks! Except for those supposed leaks coming out of Fitzpatrick's office.
Of course Miller omitted an entire meeting for which she had notes and for which there is a White House log. It will be interesting to prosecute an administration official for faulty memory and fail to prosecute a reporter for the same crime.
Well take down the Fitzmas Pole. The Annual Airing of Grievances was overshadowed by the confusion on just who has been naughty and who has been nice.
BINGO!
"If true Chrissy Matthew's head will explode."
"That is something I would like to see!!"
If you could provide me with date and time, then I could record it to play at my Halloween party. This is a dagger in the heart of MSM.
Holy nothing Batman
This is the same story that was posted earlier, viewed through Newsmax's prism. It reiterates the other story saying there will be no indictments under the original charge, but possibly for secondary things like perjury. The headline is misleading.
