Folks,

Please don't be too harsh on Fitzgerald. He is a Patriot, IMHO, and you should read up on what his past is and what he has done for our country.

This is not too different than what Clinton was convicted of as to two of the counts.

Obstruction of Justice
Perjury

It is not Fitzgerald's fault for what Libby said. It is however Fitzgerald's job and integrity to prosecute if he feels someone lied. He is doing that. Libby made choices, and it is up to a court to decide if he is guilty or not.

Me, I trust Fitzgerald's reputation, track record, and integrity.

Don't lower ourselves to what the dems did in response to Clinton. we are better than that.

Take the high road.

And before you go off on me, you better read my previous posts around here.

All this will come out in the trial unless Libby makes a plea and there is no trial. There will be plenty of time for the process to take place.

How about we focus on what is known right now in this indictment.

Yes, there was no one charged in the leak investigation. The Grand Jury is expired.

But that doesn't excuse someone from lying in front of a Grand Jury or during the investigation.

Regards,
Joe

I don't know anything about Libby. I'm just reacting to what this guy is saying, and what is in the indictment. It seems really weak.

That's what a seminar caller on Rush's show today said too.

"Regards, Joe". Wilson, is that you?

Hmmm - let me see.

First of all, Clinton was never convicted.

Second, Clinton, under oath, stated that a affadavit from Monica saying there was no sexual relationship was true. That affadavit had been suborned by Vernon Jordan and Clinton KNOWINLY said it was true - that is why he subsequently did the "meaning of IS" defense.

Whereas Libby is being indicted for discrepencies in his statements regarding two conversations he had with reporters - and those discrepencies did little to affect the overlying case (which yielded NO indictments on the initial charge, the entire reason for Fitzgerald doing the investigation in the first place).

So the charges are the same. But the underlying facts are vastly different.

Very well stated. My point exactly! You cannot allow people to to get away lying to a GJ -- take them to trial and let it all come out.
