Why doesn't he just redact the offensive testimony?

Ricky just did that recently.

The prosecutor knew from the beginning no crime had been committed but set a perjury trap to try to justify his existence. And Scooter Libby fell into it.

I have always considered this practice an abuse of a prosecutor's power, but they still do it all the time.

This is as bad as what another set of unethical prosecutors did to Ted Stevens.

Can anyone believe this garbage - how the NY Times, WaPost, and all the rest of the leftists got all torqued about such a piddling, stupid, inconsequential tempest in a teapot, while literally hundreds of people are DEAD, from the Gunwalker scandal, and nary a peep out of the MSM. M’er F’ers.

What kind of Tard~0 investigates a crime, knowing and having proof of the guilty?

Thanks George Bush for pardoning Scooter. Oh you didn’t, never mind.

And we wonder why so few truly good, intelligent men and women choose lives as far away from government as possible.

I guess it was part of that "new tone" that Bush said would get the DemocRATs to act civilly. Oh wait, it didn't work.

Plame, Wilson, Armitage, Novak, Powell, and most of all, Fitzgerald behaved like pure scum.

And the milk-toast performance of the Bush Administration toward this Alice-in-Wonderland absurdity is its most disgraceful episode.

The entire Scooter Libby mess saddened me. I will never forgive President Bush for not giving Libby a FULL pardon. The wonderful dedicated mans life was destroyed. I hope he makes millions selling books or even on movie offers. Such a disgrace what happened to him and his family

A perjury trap that Wilson and Plane fell into but were not prosecuted.

“Plame, Wilson, Armitage, Novak, Powell, and most of all, Fitzgerald behaved like pure scum.”

I would add Tim Russert to that list. I don’t claim I can prove it but I believe that he perjured himself and I believe that the guilt from that is what killed him.

Did Fitzpatrick and Powell believe they could put a black eye on the Bush administration?

alarmed by the clamor in the press for the name of the leaker who had outed a covert CIA agent,

Valerie Plame was NOT then and had not
been for over ten years a Covert CIA agent.

She worked at the Langley Headquarters of the CIA
and openly commuted to her office at Langley daily.

Fitzgerald should have been dis-barred for abuse.

I would place my bet that you are right about Russert commiting perjury. I don't know how guilty he may have felt. I am positive Libby did not make up Russert telling him that. It would make no sense to do so.

Fitzgerald knew the whole story from the start and was out to put a hyde on the wall and get patted on the back by the media. Then he protects Obama to the hilt in the Rezco/Blago Chicago prosecutions. Pure scumbag.

Of all the players in this, I detest Colin Powell the most. He knew. KNEW. And KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT. He could have picked up a phone and put and end to it.

But he didn’t. And by all that can be gleaned, he did it for personal, vindictive, political reasons.

As far as I am concerned, that undid every good thing Powell ever did for his country. Same as Benedict Arnold, who was a hero until he sold his country out.

Powell can rot in Hell.
