Makes you wonder if he'd have gotten off better by refusing to say anything to anyone about the matter, no matter what.
Of course he would have been better off. Why can't Republicnas learn from bill and hill? "I can't recall" "I can't recall."
He'd still be guilty. Fifth amendment constitutional protections do not extend to witnesses in a crime. If the Bush administration had produced evidence at the beginning of this mess that showed clearly that Valerie Plame was not undercover, there would have been no need for this investigation.
That's the bottom line. If a persecutor like Fitzgerald can find an insignificant memory lapse and turn into a potential 25 year sentence, that tells me I should never say anything to any government official.
This is an outrage.
You have a right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you. You have a right to have an attorney present during questioning. If you can not afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you at no charge. If you are an attorney, you should know to keep your mouth shut. When being questioned, always say, I do not recall. I'm sorry, I do not recall.
