lame
Confirmed on Fox, Libby indicted on 5 charges.
5 counts on indictment per MSNBC.
He lied about where he keeps his nail clippers?
So any charge on the underlying "crime?"
We have a great administration in the Whitehouse right now. If the democrats had gone after Clinton's purgery, obstruction of justice, and lying to the American people with the same fervor, it would have taken half the time at half the price! Plus, Libby is just council. Imagine if he were the President!!
The Bush administration handled this very well. We should be proud.
Fitz is probably trying to pressure him hoping Libby will turn on someone else.
Wow. Simply amazing.
First witness called to the stand,
JOE WILSON !
Second witness called to the stand,
VALERY PLAME !
What we can conclude from this is that no one criminally leaked Plame's name.
I never imagined we'd see true political persecution in the US. Maybe I was just naive.
plea bargin admit to the lying chare and do a Martha Stewart.
He has my prayers and anything else I can provide.
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 agent’s 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 Bush’s 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 Bush’s assertion that Saddam Hussein was trying to secure nuclear materials.
YOU CAN READ THE REST HERE MSNBC
So he's resigned right? Well, if it turns out he did this stuff, I say good riddance.
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?
DUmmies are VERY quiet right now.. LOL!
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.............
