Justice Rules Requires Fitzgerald to Throw Out Libby Indictment: Jed Babbin says to John Batchelor

This comes in the wake of the Woodward revelation that a former administration official discussed Plame/Flame with Bob Woodward before Libby ever spoke to a reporter. Also, that Woodward can not recall if he revealed the information to Libby.

I am paraphrasing what I heard on tonight's John Batchelor Program during the 10:30 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. EST time slot on 770 WABC here in New York.

Keep in mind that the last time I posted iformation from this program it was regarding John Fund saying Harriet Meirs Harriet Meirs nomination will be pulled. My post was two weeks before it actually happened.

FYI: I just heard Jed Babbin, a contributing editor for The American Spectator, say that Justice Department rules will force Fitzgerald to throw out the Libby Indictments. The Justice Department rule in question states that a prosecutor under juristdiction of the Justic Department can not proceed with an indictment if that prosecutor finds that facts material to the indictment are proven to be false in a continuing investgation by the prosecitor after the indictment was handed down.

Options Given By Babbin:

Either, 1)He throws out the indictment or it will be thrown out for him by a judge.

2)If he's stupid, he takes it to trial only to lose. Or.

3)He must start from scratch with a new Grand Jury with Justice Department permission that may take years to reinvestigate everyone and their mother.

I look forward to seeing this Justice Department Rule posted by fellow freepers after due dilligence.

Joe DiGenova said the very same thing on Britt Hume's show. It's coming up for re-run on FOXNEWS in 20 minutes, at 11 CST. DiGenova's segment is about ten minutes in, and it is definitely worth seeing.

Babbin mentioned that guy in his commentary.

I apologize for any mis-spelling in my post in my haste to post it.

Fritz been serving Turkey early. Why can't he stick a fork in this and move on with life?

I say more like tur-duk-in.

Woodward = "The Grinch Who Ruined Fitzmas"

I'm not saying Babbin's wrong, but Fitzgerald strikes me as the kind of guy who would rather play hopscotch with a prison rapist than walk away from a prosecution against Libby.

Babbin also mentioned that Libby's attorney is a 6'4" defense attorney who happens to be black.

"Considering the district and that 9 to 10 jurors will likely be black, Libby's attorney is so skilled, he will have these jurors wanting to donate to Libby's defense fund when all is said and done." (paraphrase of Babbin)

Libby ping.

[Stellar Dendrite]

wow and if it is thrown out...will u hear it from the orwellian media?

[new yorker 77]

who's holdonnow?

[new yorker 77]

If he brings an indictment with falsehoods, he loses.

[Mr Cobol]

The Great One, Levin.

[new yorker 77]

Why did you say 'thanks to holdonnow'?

Did he post something?

I am curious.

Or 4), he drags the indictment out for as long as possible, embarrassed to have wasted tens of millions for this ending, hoping that another shoe falls for a better charge or a better excuse arises to drop charges.

[Anti-Bubba182]

I saw that as well. DiGenova was adamant about the duty this disclosure of Woodward's places on Fitzgerald since it blows the timeline he put forward.

[LdSentinal]

If true, it would be nice Thanksgiving.

[Mr Cobol]

On his live thread today he posted the link.

If Babbin's right, I'd expect Libby's attorney to have a motion to dismiss the indictment waiting on the judge's desk for him to read over his morning coffee.

Poor Fitz - that shot at being AG in the Hillary administration just flew out the window, I'm afraid, no matter how this turns out. I might even be able to feel a little bit sorry for him if I try really hard.

Naaaah.
