Is she admitted she lied under oath? Is she stupid?
OK Judy. Did you go to Scooter and apologize for screwing up his life?
I didn’t think so.
More hollow words from a “journalist.”
Not necessarily.
I belive that Libby can now file to have his conviction overturned due to prosecutorial malfeasance. Like Ted Stevens did.
In fact, having his sentance commuted rather than being pardoned by Bush works to his advantage here. AND it opens the door to a direct suit against Fitzgerald.
And Judith Miller was compelled to wait until her book was finished to say this, right?
She’s claiming that she was tricked into unknowingly providing false testimony. Which is different than lying under oath/perjury in an act of commission.
The responsibility here lies on the prosecutor, not her.
The statute of limitations for perjury on the Federal level is three years.
Libby was fined $250,000, and as a convicted felon, he has been disbarred from practicing law and cannot vote.
Correct. He can now sue to have that conviction overturned and his rights restored.
He can also go after Fitzgerald for all sorts of damages. Think of Fitzgerald as Gaelic for “Nifong”
Exactly. Real courageous of you to say this now, Judith. I guess its better than never saying anything.
I wonder if Fitz threatened her about what would happen if she refused to interpret “Bureau” the way he wanted. He’s pond-scum either way, and I hope he gets taken to the cleaners.
Three years after the conviction or three years after it is discovered?
Is President Bush going to apologized for throwing Scooter under the bus? No pardon for Scooter, either.
A manipulative Democrat prosecutor? Is there one that isn’t? Criminals all I would venture to guess.
AND WHY HASN’T KARL ROVE RESIGNED OVER THIS YET?
(I remember that as the ONLY thing on the reporter’s minds, fortunately Rove was not quite useless yet)
She is stupid.
You SAID IT! What a snake.
A book royalty brings conscience? A snake, still.
Fitzgerald. Chicago. Democrat.
No, nothing suspicious there.
Oh, no it doesn’t preclude her from responsibility.
She only now deduces that she has been “tricked”? Only now after the statutes of limitations has been effected? Only now with a book advance under her belt, and more big money to come? She should have been kicking and screaming on behalf of her book’s protagonist long, long ago, before it was profitable, before the statute of limitations.
This woman was on CBS Morning show today with Charlie Rose and the associate women hosts and there was no mention of Scooter Libby, just the subject of how Bush, and particularly Cheney, were mad-dog War Mongers and led America into an illegitimate war.
Fella tis tpress.
