Fitzgerald has been fattening his personal bank account by running a game on the American taxpayers.

He's spent over two years and millions "investigating" what any beat cop in America could have determined in 24 hours;
Valerie Plame was a desk jockey at CIA, nothing more, nothing less. And the only ones who didn't know she worked there didn't give a damn! LMAO

Marc Grossman, former Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs is my pick for the leaker.

I love it that Scooter is playing Hardball. The MSM and the Dems think that he will trash the WH by doing this, when in the end it will be Fitz, the MSM and the Dems who will have egg on thier faces.

Libby was indicted just to smear Bush and Cheney. That effort failed. I don't think Fitzgerald ever intended to take this to trial. The 'Rats may try to milk this through the elections in November, but after that it will all disappear.

I hope Mr Libby has some good personal security. This defense is going to upset some powerful people.

This seems to be backing Fitzgerald into a corner. He is a biased and ambitious prosecutor, ambitious to gain fame as a great prosecutor through his backers in the liberal media, and probably ambitious to climb further up the career ladder with the help of the liberal forces who are backing him. Maybe a future Attorney General in a Democrat administration.

To do this, he must be backed by the Democrats, the liberal press, and the rogue liberals in the CIA and the State Department. But if he starts dragging all of them into court, and puts them into the position of having to give embarrassing testimony, that will hardly endear him to them. His meteoric career will plunge back to earth.

Not only is it a good legal strategy, but from everything we know about the Plame/Wilson affair it is the truth. Remarkable.

The defense may call Mr. Powell to testify about a September 2003 meeting at the White House during which he is reported to have commented that everyone knows that Mr. Wilson's wife works at the CIA.

Worst.
Fitzmas.
Ever.

It looks like it may be one of the moonbat's least-hated Bushies, who committed the non-crime. And Libby's gets exonerated. Rove and Cheney had nothing to do with anything.

At this rate, the Dems won't just dump Fitz when his 15 minutes of fame are over. They will dump him with prejudice. He will never have lunch in this town again.

"Good strategy on Libby's part, to make the trial into a leak case."

Exactly, the charge is Libby didn't get his story straight about conversations with journalists some months prior. Sort of a memory test with the booby prize a felony conviction--way unfair!

The Wreck of the Patrick Fitzgerald.

Words and music by Scooter Libby. From a true story about a D.C. trainwreck and the half-cocked engineer who failed to brake in time.

Sounds like the quotation imputed to Colin Powell matches pretty closely to Andrea Mitchell's statement that it was widely known in Washington that Valerie Plame worked at the CIA.

I wonder if Colin used the same phraseology in talking to journalists that he did in talking in the White House situation room.
