That's very true, but before he testified to the GJ he must have gone over his notes and decided what he remembered about the key aspects of this case and what he didn't remember. Then he wouldn't give any inconsistent testimony. I'm wondering if Libby didn't take this case seriously enough because the original purpose was to investigate a non-crime. Who knows what happened but perhaps he was busy with other issues and he didn't prepare well enough for the GJ.
It's a reference to the saying that a good presecutor can gat a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich - as in very little evidence is actually required.
The Saudi or the French connections? Wazzup?
Also isn't it true the jury had not voted as of Wednesday night and they are just now reconvening?
Most of my black neighbors over 50 around here are pretty solidly conservative and church folks. To counter that, there are some pretty wild afro-centric nut cases around here too, blaming 'the man' for everything since original sin. On balance, the GJ are probably giving a pretty fair shake.
Even though I am caught up in the flury of activity, that thought, make that fear, has been lurking in the back of my brain.
The reporting has not been accurate, why should it be now? And then I wonder about the Rove statement scheduled. And then paranoia strikes deep.
Yeah, the MSM media love to remind us all of that when a Dem gets indicted...but the saying seems to disappear when its a Republican.
Paging the Orkin Men....
Ahhhhhhh, thank you... !!! :-)
Exactly! Whey isn't the MSM even thinking of the possibility that Libby heard about Valerie Plame even before his discussion with Cheney??? How many people takes notes of conversations with media people over drinks at a DC party?? This is soooooo stuuuuupid!! Her name was bouncing around DC like a pinball - who knows where it first came from. Sheesh!
Cut lugsoul some slack...it didn't turn out to be a Merry Fitzmas for him afterall.
Specifically, "The public report of every other reporter's testimony makes clear that they did not discuss Ms. Plame's name or identity with me," Mr. Libby wrote.
Mr Fitzgerald also focused on the letter's closing lines. "Out West, where you vacation, the aspens will already be turning. " Mr. Libby wrote. "They turn in clusters, because their roots connect them."
I predict that Libby and Miller will be indicted.
That really makes me mad. They could have ended this in one day by checking the law and Plame's covert status. One week if they are slow readers. She openly drove to work every day at the CIA and had not been assigned out of the country in the past five years. That does not fit the law, so no law was broken. What a waste of taxpayer money!
Lincoln Lincoln I've been thinking ...
Interesting
As for the direction of the grand jury, could it be that he has gotten permission to investigate an attempt by some in the intelligence community to undermine the interests of the US for political purposes?
