He was somewhat subdued for Conyers. Could be he's trying not to over-play his hand.

Whoever the background people are pushing this agenda they fully realize that Libby is a nothing, just another political hack. A minnow if you will. They are using Libby like John Dean of old.

Your right, this has been going on in one way or another ever since President Bush took office.

They have all these commissions and for what, it doesn't matter what comes out of them, nothing ever happens. Its just another way of giving a "crony" a job and make it look like they are doing something important.

I have little patience--with them. But your scenario is the one I'm seeing, too. This op has Hillary's fingerprints all over it.

Recall when Agnew was taken out. It was on a corruption charge years before in Maryland. At the time NO ONE gave it any possibility of removing Agnew. There has never been a politician from Maryland that was not raised in corruption, Nancy Pelosi for one.

Look at all of the vicious, hateful statements directed towards him, it does not matter when you assist the DEMS in anything; their party loyalty comes first, look at how they kicked old Lott to the curb, not one of them came to his defense, after he was one the main ones defending slick willy against impeachment. They will never learn family comes first and blood is always thicker than water. I hope GOP'ers will remember that next time they kiss up to the MSM esp.

I wonder when we will start hearing the tapes? Dan Rather is gone but it seems like it would be pretty easy to "find" a recording with Libby talking about the WH plot to get Wilson/Plame.

Is Conyers smart enough not to over-play his hand?

Why Mr. Libby should be opposed to the idea of pardon? He might need it.

Politicians are not overly bright, but they are overly arrogant. Libbys own notes have indicted him, just like Nixons tapes. If you are going to lie, you better not have a paper or tape trail.

I cannot believe that such intelligent people in Bush White House were stupid enough to chat off the record with evil MSM that are tying to get them. They were arrogant enough to believe they were using the media. That never happens.

So why did Cheney want him? Why did Cheney put another traitor on his staff, the wife of James Carville?

This is a RINO administration.

Not quite. Libby was the remaining leader in PNAC in the administration after Wolfowitz and Feith left. Lots of people are after PNAC. That is also the Cheney tie-in.

Well, like the people who can't walk and chew gum at the same time, Conyers couldn't pull off not overplaying his hand, and not tipping his hand at the same time. With great difficulty, he could sort of accomplish one, but not the other.

<< WOW!! Makes you wonder, it looks like ALL these politicians are in bed together. >>

Stop wondering.

Think "oligarchy."

[Their every above-middle-management employee would be forever imprisoned were General Motors and Ford to form such a cartel and/or to conspire to defraud as do the political parties]

I heard him this morning too, and he sounded very measured for him. In fact, I had to look twice to see who was speaking. Wierd. Maybe he was out celebrating.

I don't trust Libby, and worry about a plea agreement.

That is what I have also been posting

What the hell was Cheney doing with a guy like him on his staff
