He has my prayers and anything else I can provide.
wilson and plame under oath. hey hey.
WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis Scooter Libby, was indicted Friday on five charges that include obstruction of justice, making false statements and perjury in the investigation into the leak of a covert CIA agents name.
The indictment could trigger a shake-up at the White House, already on the defensive over the response to Hurricane Katrina, opposition to the Iraq war and the withdrawal of President Bushs nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court, Harriet Miers.
Details were to be outlined at 2 p.m. ET, when Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald will hold a press conference at the Justice Department. The grand jury that handed up the indictment had been hearing the case for nearly two years and its term expires Friday.
Fitzgerald and his investigators have been trying to determine whether Libby or any other administration officials knowingly revealed the identity of CIA agent Valerie Plame or lied about their involvement to investigators. Her husband is diplomat Joseph Wilson, an opponent of the Iraq war who challenged Bushs assertion that Saddam Hussein was trying to secure nuclear materials.
YOU CAN READ THE REST HERE MSNBC
For the liberals this truly is the Nightmare of Fitzmas ... no charges for "outing" a CIA Agent so that whole lie can be shelved alongside Joe Wilson's big lies about it.
It is actually a crime to obstruct justice, to perjure yourself, etc.
So he's resigned right? Well, if it turns out he did this stuff, I say good riddance.
Where did he Obstruct Justice (the Administration of Justice)?
The Prosecuter sent Tate a letter saying that he would not look upon the letter to Miller as Obstruction. The US Attorney will have to prove that he corrupted her testimony in the context of the letter he sent to Tate.
lame is right
Special Prosecutors are the Torquemadas of our day
minus the nifty information extracting techniques
Fitzgerald's office was very suspect in the leaks and dragging this out for maximum effect.
again...the GOP....falls on it's sword to unimpressed liberals
This reminds me of Bill Clinton, but there's no blue dress.
If purgery is a felony, why is Bill Clinton still allowed to vote?
What do you think of Jeb? Think he would have a good chance running?
You won't hear that on any news outlet except for Fox.
DUmmies are VERY quiet right now.. LOL!
Are you now, or have you ever been, a conservative? Answer the question!
Well DU got its Fiztmas present. Libby is like getting underwear from Grand=Ma.
no, that is not what fitz was brought in for.
Just a thought, but.....
Does anyone think since Libby was NOT indicted for the "outing" of Plame, then Fitzgerald's "continuing investigation" of Rove could be for the stronger charge of "outing" Plame?
Just wondering.............
And now President Bush can finally shut down the liberal government jobs program known as the CIA. Hope it was worth it, comrades!
DUmbstruck.
