The extent of Fitzgerald's investigation is revealed by who has appeared before the Grand Jury. This is about the Plame leak and nothing else.
Hotline On Call: The F List
http://hotlineblog.nationaljournal.com/archives/2005/10/the_f_list.html
If some WH official had actually leaked Plame's name--and she was at the time a covert officer--and it had been done intentionally to cause harm--then hell yeah, that is a serious crime.
And that was the initial allegation. But it turns out it didn't happen that way.
The fantasists are having a field-day. Next week they will have forgotten all about it and be on to other fantasies. (Oddly, their fantasies are always bad for the GOP or the US in general.)
I've been trying to figure out how Fitzgerald could conduct a trial against anybody involved in this for any reason whatsoever and hope to get a conviction when the CIA is going to be in there quashing all requests for information about Plame's real job!
Except we don't know who has appeared before the Grand Jury as the F list you reference implicitly acknowledges (it says that John Hannah and David Wurmser are believed to have appeared). And how do we know what all those appearing were asked about any way. Just what do Hannah and Wurmser have to do with the Plame leak?
It may be about a lot else.
But both Wilson and Kerry used "Wilson's Tea Party" and the "leak" matter to pound the Whitehouse. It didn't help Kerry because he is such a twit and a traitor in the Vietnam War......but if the Repubs are weakened and Rove is "gone", Hillary will be the benefactor.
This all leads back to Hillary, Mandy Grunwald, her best friend, media manager and also Bubba's last campaign manager. MANDY IS MARRIED TO COOPER!!
Bubba also recently made a statement that if Rove is gone, we could regain the Whitehouse. It was blurted out...kinda like when he laughed and said "Berger was a hard worker but a lousey thief". Must be the Meds!!
