Nevertheless, Fitz went on a jihad in the Palme case. That shows he's trying, unethically, to destroy the Bush administration, in the middle of a war for our notional survival, on any basis he can fabricate and expects to be rewarded by becoming Hillary's AG. Nadler's enthusiastic recommendation for him as counsel for any potential impeachment investigation pretty well blows the scam and is strong evidence that there's been some kind of improper and unethical communication between him and the Clinton camp.
After all, the Clintons try to flip anybody they can. Just look at Rush with Markie Post, David Brock with his boy friend, probably introduced to him by the Clintons, and Gary Aldrich's account of an attempted flip in Unlimited Access.
Add to this the fact that destroying the Bush administration, making the WOT unwinable, would make him the Democrat superstar who'd be first on the list to become Hillary's AG. As such, he'd have unaccountable life and death power, just like Reno, provided only that he enabled anything Hillary wanted to do. It's a genuinely terrifying prospect.
After what he's been doing to President Bush, that's like going to sleep with a black mamba, the most dangerous, venomous snake in the world.
Interception of electronic communication isn't necessary; all that's required is an interception of an oral communication with a device that passed in interstate commerce, just what probably happened here. Can't you Dummies come up with better responses??
What kind of a vehicle do you have and how did you get the "tires?"
One time I don't spellcheck...
Happens to us all.
I'll agree with that.
Nope fraid knot.
First the communications were not intercepted. The person recording was admitted to the meeting and Iowa law allowed members to record meetings. That's why the county attourny refused to get involved.
Second, sending a recording made legally across state lines is not an crime and is not prohibited. That's why the US attourney refused to get involved.
You simply can not make a crime out of this event no matter how hard you try. The entire text of 18 USC § 2511(1)(a) is available on line for your enjoyment. There is no reason to make these things up.
Please, spare me the cheerleading. His job was to investigate an apparent "outing" of a supposedly covert CIA agent. Shortly after the investigation began, he had to know Plame wasn't covert and hadn't been for quite a while, if ever. At that point, he went and asked for the investigation to be broadened. It should have ended if he had one ounce of integrity.
Shhh. Don't try to use logic or facts with the Patrick Fitzgerald haters. Since he's now indicted a guy who happens to work for a guy they voted for, all they can do is use the playbook of the Ken Starr haters and scream "partisan zealot!!", "witchhunt!", and "kangaroo court!!!" incessantly. It's a good thing this case didn't involve sexual behavior or they'd be calling Fitzgerald a "pornographer" next. They seem to have received their Prosecutor Smear Tactics 101 from James Carville.
The knee-jerk "defend anyone with an 'R' next to their name" crowd is making this website look more and more like a forum full of Ken Starr haters, c. 1998.
