The suggested gravity could well translate to the pursuit of a CIA-based conspiracy to undermine a sitting President during time of war.
Given that a.) an IIPA case seems inappropriate, b.) an Espionage Act charge against Rove/Libby seems a far stretch and c.) the SP was broadly charged with "following where the evidence leads", "the gravity of the reported crime" and invoking "national security" suggests a far deeper and more serious affair is under investigation.
"the gravity of the reported crime" and invoking "national security" suggests a far deeper and more serious affair is under investigation."
No, it doesn't. And as even Larry Zero Donnell confirmed, the judge doesn't think so either.
I don't know why everyone is so eager to go flying off the handle. This was about an alleged leak of an alleged covert CIA officer.
That's it. And it is SILLY to try to make it into something else.
Look at the list of those who appeared before the Grand Jury. Sheesh.
