Per Fox News...
Nope. But that's the way you want to spin it.
Let me add my humble opinion to those who say...Libby will walk, possibly with a dismissal of charges or a plea to a misdemeanor with probation and community service.
I'm right with you.
I did not even know UPI was still in business. Then about a week ago I noticed they were all over Plamegate...with articles negative to the WH.
Nope. But that's the way you want to spin it.

No, Hillary. Bill got to pick Ms. ACLU Ginsburg when he was in the White House. Having won the election, it is now the turn of Mr. Bush. If you ever get to the White House, we will have the opportunity to laugh at your picks.
I think they should fight anything they are charged with.
No deals.
HEHEHEHE! Love the way you think!
" If you ever get to the White House, we will have the opportunity to laugh at your picks."
You are supposed to go outside, spin around three times and spit when you say something like that or it might come true. :)
"Nobody at the White House seems to think it's that bad: Scooter was at the morning staff meeting."
I could see that staff meeting now.
"Ok Aide to Libby, you go and leak it to the press that Fitz is going to indict Scooter"
"You, other aide, go to WAPO and leak that they are going to hold off Carl's indictment and get a new GJ"
{Phone Call to Fitz from Cheney}
"Hey Fitz, Dick here. You can go ahead and kill the GJ without indictments now. Think we embarrassed the MSM enough for one day. And by the way, stop over for dinner next week, Lynn is making a ham and I think Gonzalez will be there. Said something about getting you on the bench"
{Call from Bush to Cheney}
"Hey Dick, is the plan moving forward?"
"Yes Mr. President, just like karl said it would".
"Good good, OK, I am going to call a presser first thing Monday morning to announce Justice Brown for SCOTUS"
"That's great Mr. President. What about Harriet? She did great with the couple of weeks of hell, just like Karl said she would."
"Harriet is a strong gal, Dick. Next time you are on Hannity, thank him for me. Him and the rest of the pundits did great in their destruction of her."
"I wil Mr. President. By the way, should we announce tomorrow or do you want to wait till next week that we caught Zarquawi?"
"Let's wait Dick, I don't think the press can handle all of this. have a great weekend"
"You too Mr. President."
Pictures of Fitz, Hillary, a circus midget, and a goat at Motel 6 would be my guess.
President Bush Needs to Address the Fitzgerald Investigation, Says Democratic National Committee
10/28/2005 11:38:00 AM
To: National Desk
Contact: Karen Finney of the Democratic National Committee, 202-863-8148
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Democratic National Committee called on President Bush to delay his scheduled trip to Camp David this weekend and confront the scandal engulfing his Administration. DNC Communications Director Karen Finney said today that photo ops and speeches are not enough to provide the American people the answers they deserve, and that the President should schedule a primetime news conference to answer all of the questions that the American people have about this scandal and his failed leadership.
Finney issued the following statement:
"Public confidence in the direction of our country is crumbling under the weight of President Bush's failed leadership. From his failure to find solutions to the challenges confronting ordinary American families and his failure to put forth a clear plan for victory in Iraq, to his failure to even support his own Supreme Court nominee, the Bush Administration is clearly bogged down in a scandal that is distracting it from attending to the nation's business.
"No matter how hard he tries, President Bush is not going to be able to put this behind him with photo ops and rhetoric. The American people deserve answers directly from President Bush about what role his advisors played in manipulating intelligence to win support for the war in Iraq, orchestrating efforts to smear opponents of that war, and conspiring to cover it up. Whether or not Patrick Fitzgerald issues any indictments, President Bush should go before the American people to answer those questions so our nation can back to focusing on the business of the people."
Questions President Bush Needs to Answer
-- Facing a growing scandal with 39 months to go in his term, and with our nation facing serious issues--from the war in Iraq, to a growing deficit and skyrocketing energy prices-- will President Bush pledge to clean house in the coming days as President Reagan did after the Iran-Contra Scandal and restore some sense that the people's business, not political business, is being done?
-- If the special prosecutor does extend the investigation to continue to explore the role that Karl Rove and other members of White House Iraq Group played in the leak of Valerie Plame's identity, will Bush ask Rove and everyone else implicated in the scandal to step down?
-- With Vice President Cheney's chief of staff facing a criminal indictment over his role in disclosing classified information, why did he receive a security briefing yesterday?
-- What steps will the White House take to ensure that covert CIA operatives do not risk having their identity exposed by political operatives as part of their "politics as usual" operations?
-- After supposedly checking with them, why did White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan tell the American public that Karl Rove and Scooter Libby were not involved in the scandal, if Libby is being indicted and the grand jury is continuing its investigation of Rove's role?
-- When will he direct Vice President Cheney to explain the inconsistencies in his remarks to the public about the scandal? What did Cheney know and when did he know it?
-- Did the White House Iraq Group answer to Bush? If they didn't answer to him, who did they answer to? Will that person step aside? Was he aware of their actions? If not, why wasn't he aware of what so many of his top advisors were doing with top secret intelligence?

"Libby will walk, possibly with a dismissal of charges or a plea to a misdemeanor with probation and community service."
If true then that is a lot of money spent just to have some guy picking up litter off the street.
What is this "Rove will not be indicted TODAY" business?
I just heard on the new that FIZ will release some papers soon and then have his presser @2.
My husband actually went out and bought new golf socks because all of his were still wet and in the washer and there wasn't time to dry them before his tee time.
