Libby indicted on obstruction of justice, false statment and perjury charge...
Sandy Berger, Deutch laughing their asses off right now.
This guy Fitz is an a***ole, him and his analogies! Talk english will ya.
Yes, they deliberately obfuscate the truth to further their agenda. They lie and decieve with no regard. However, soon enough, the 60's hippies will die off. Thank God for the new information sources.
I agree with this and with everything else you said in your post. It's my perception that President Bush practices the biblical instruction to turn the other cheek. That's fine when it comes to personal insults, but when the enemy is succeeding in damaging our foreign policy, culture, and economy, he should send out a team to counter the lies with facts, evidence, and logic.
Fitzgerald is conducting a news conference right now. He seems extremely nervous. Quaky voice, etc. Could be just stage fright but still, it's odd for a senior prosecutor to be so unnerved by the cameras.
The guy is sweating bullets, he looks like the guilty one here.
The Hillary defense. You lie your face off and they can't touch you. But the dopy Republicans keep trying to cooperate and answer the questions. When your enemies are determined to bring you down, they'll keep pressuring you until you finally get confused and contradict yourself.
I'm listening on the radio-- during Rush show --- slightly less painful.
A big zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, time to move on the Rove bloodfest is dead, just listen to the media beggggggging for more.
Some would say libby who
Clearly, to the MSM, lying to them is the bigger sin. THEY are "the American people" (in their eyes). Since they can't whine about lying in judicial proceedings (since that's what their hero did), they have to try this route instead.
(And, once again, the MSM makes themselves the actual story.)
Russert said that Libby told him nothing about Plame but the indictment claims Libby lied about who told HIM about Plame not about who HE told. These appear to be two different things and Russert's statement does not contradict the indictment.
I am still awaiting an answer from this guy as to a fundamental question. If Plame was "undercover" and her name leaked and not leaking an undercover agents name is sooooooooo damn important to all our National Security, then why wasn't that crime charged? If you have that many mis-leading statements from Libby, are you telling me you can't charge him?
Bravo Sierra. This is pure crap you are spewing Mr. Prosecutor. But hey, there will be a trial and we shall see if Ms. Plame was undercover.
This Fitz dude is a total bore, if I had been a GJ member I would have handed down an indictment just to get him to shut up so I could go home. He looks like one of those guys that got picked on too much in middle school.
Not to split hairs here, but I have not found any substantiation for the claim that she was "still considered undercover" within the text of the indictment. It states that, "At all relevant times from January 1, 2002 through July 2003, Valerie Wilson was employed by the CIA, and her employment status was classified".
The fact that her employment status was classified does not, in and of itself, mean that she was "considered undercover". The Grand Jury was tasked, among other things, to investigate possible violations of federal criminal laws, including: Title 50, United States Code, Section 421 (disclosure of the identity of covert intelligence personnel); and Title 18, United States Code, Sections 793 (improper disclosure of national defense information), . . .
Section 421 deals with 'classified information that identifies a covert agent'. While we know from the indictment that her employment status was classified, we do not know that she was a covert agent, and no indictment has (yet, anyways) been issued for such a violation.
Interestingly, neither has any indictment been brought for a Section 793 violation, which presumably relates to disclosure of classified information.
I can't wait to hear Mark Levin tonight.
I expected a calm attorney speaking. What I'm hearing is a guy that's way too nervous for a person that supposedly has his talents. He sounds fanatical.
He keeps saying there has been a crime but he has not indicted anyone for the crime in question. This is another Martha Stewart situation from what I see.
The person I'm listening too is way way too wrapped up in this thing.
I made that point way back at #455
I agree, he seems really rattled. The shifty eyes are really bothering me.
