What a Load of Armitage! What did Patrick Fitzgerald know, and when did he know it?

Richard Armitage has finally emerged from the cover-my-backside closet, "apologizing" on CBS for keeping quiet for almost three years about being the original source for Robert Novak's July 14, 2003, column stating that Joe Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, worked for the CIA and had suggested him for a mission to Niger. He disingenuously blames his silence on Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald's non-legally-based request--any witness is free to talk about his testimony--not to discuss the matter.
Put aside hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer funds squandered on the investigation, New York Times reporter Judith Miller's 85 days in jail, the angst and legal fees of scores of witnesses,............

Our GOP problem is that it was not just the Dims and the LameStreamMedia - prominent GOPers seem to have played roles in it as well; some who may not be publicly identified yet.

Thanks for posting that historical summary. I did not know that Ashcroft also had turned against the Administration.

""Did Mr. Fitzgerald subpoena Ms. Plame? He could have asked her why, if she were truly covert, was she attending an Eastern Shore meeting in May 2003 with Democratic senators."
Sorry I have so little time most of the time to respond in kind to well thought out posts responses. Though on this subject I have little to contribute. I am a student. And you folks sure have keeped us well abreast on this deal.
And this whole deal simply reeks with dishonor, malcontents, and downright frigen traitors to the United States of America as far as I am concerned. The whole lot of these filth bags at all levels of involvment that conspired for various reasons to go against the POTUS, should be hung until dead as far as I am concerned.
I keep thinking about how so many Freepers used to call Powell a great American, good guy etc..
The clown is no better then the whale from Massachusetts as far as I am concerned. And Armitage and the rest of these scum bags can go ream themselves with a white hot poker in you know where.

What's your take on this post? It seems to be a plausible explanation for a number of open questions.

If you get a chance, take a look at this
post. It's a pretty interesting take on infighting and agendas within the administration.
