Former White House Aide's Revelations Make Out Case for Obstruction of Justice by Rove and Libby in Valerie Plame Case

(Washington, DC) Today Congressman Robert Wexler (D-FL) called for former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan to appear before the House Judiciary Committee to testify under oath regarding the devastating revelations made in his new book on the Bush Administration’s deliberate efforts to mislead the American people into the Iraq War.

“The admissions made by Scott McClellan in his new book are earth-shattering and allege facts to establish that Karl Rove and Scooter Libby – and possibly Vice President Cheney - conspired to obstruct justice by lying about their role in the Plame Wilson matter and that the Bush Administration deliberately lied to the American people in order to take us to war in Iraq. Scott McClellan must now appear before the House Judiciary Committee under oath to tell Congress and the American people how President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Scooter Libby, and White House officials deliberately orchestrated a massive propaganda campaign to sell the war in Iraq to the American people.”

“The allegations by this former top White House aide – that Rove and Libby deliberately coordinated their stories in order to obstruct justice in the Plame case, that the President deliberately disregarded contradictory evidence related to Iraq, should outrage every American and Congress must respond by initiating immediate aggressive oversight starting with an appearance by McClellan before the House Judiciary Committee. Any continued obstruction by this Administration to prevent White House officials from appearing before Congress cannot be tolerated by this Congress in the face of these shocking revelations.”

Congressman Wexler has led a nationwide campaign in favor of holding impeachment hearings for Vice-President Dick Cheney. Congressman Wexler is Chairman of the Europe Subcommittee and a senior member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the House Judiciary Committee.

I'll tell you what, I'm outraged that THIS is what Congress thinks they need to act on. Do your job, do what you were elected to do and run the country you dumb-dumbs!!!

Just wait....they’ll be gunning for a Pelosi Presidency.......

[AdaGray]

Poor Scott. He wants to be part of the “in crowd” and he will forever be marked in history as a weasel and a wuss.

[Rennes Templar]

“Scott can’t back up his claims in the book.”

True. I read another report that said he was relying on
innuendo, third party reports and hearsay for many of his claims. He will rue the day.

[dynachrome]

I think this will be the hook the stalinists use to try to impeach Pres. Bush before his term is up.

[Happy Rain]

Scot McClellan is Anita Hill with hairy knuckles.

[linn37]

Now that would be Karma.

[billva]

Wexler...

Har Har...

He’s always been a lame dumbass...

Which is an insult to all lame dumbasses out there.

Being compared to Wexler has to be the ultimate insult.

RUSH: Folks, if I may be candid, this is what so frustrated me about McCain for all these last six years. McCain was trying to do the same thing. He was trying to be treated as an elite by the liberals, and how did he do it? By trashing his own party; by trashing his own president; by being more critical of his own party than he ever was our enemies; by making deals with them. He almost quit the Republican Party in 2004, whatever it was. It was he who approached John Kerry. People ask me, "Why do you have problems with McCain?" Why do I have problems with Scott McClellan? It's not quite the same thing, but the liberals seek these people out. Now, if McCain had decided not to run for president, he would be most-favored person status, he would be one of the wisest wise men on all these cable network shows but now they gotta take him out 'cause he's jumped back. He hasn't jumped back, they just think he has. This is a clear illustration here of how this all works. McClellan can sit there, "Okay, fine, the left's going to take care of me fine now. George Bush fired me and left me out to dry, replaced me with Tony Snow, but the left is going to take care of me. For the rest of my life I am a credible expert on the Republican Party and the Bush administration. The left will never criticize me anymore." Some people will trade their souls for that.


Scott McClellan looks for liberal love and protection.

Scottie lies for money and walks into a minefield! Nobody ever accused Scottie McMarsmallow of being very smart.

[DustyMoment]

Scott (son of Texas Dem Carol Strayhorn) opened this can of worms and I hope it bites him in the butt so badly he’ll never be able to sit down again.

Wexler, having the same intellectual capacity as a bucket of hair (which he sadly lacks), is again proving that Congress has nothing better to do than engage in partisan witchhunts. If that’s the most important thing they have to worry about, send’em home and make them get REAL jobs. I’m fed up with paying for this dog ‘n pony show - from BOTH parties!!!

If we don’t unload the whole lot of useless reps in Congress, clean house and re-take control of our government as envisioned by the framers of the Constitution, then we better start stocking up on guns, butter, bread and bullets.

[frankjr]

This is f’ing great!!!! I am all for Wexler’s plan. Get McClellan under oath. Scotty was a blabbering idiot as a press secretary. With no note cards to read off on the stand Scotty will fold like a cheap suit. Or he’ll make some claims up, which will be proven wrong (mostly likely by Internet journalists) and then Patrick Fitzgerald can step in and prosecute Scotty for perjury. Then the idiot can spend a few years in the slammer being some other inmate’s beyotch!

Karma’s a bitch, eh Scotty? I really do love this. Thank you Wexler!

[lonestar]

Sheppard Smith is treating this like Scotty is one wise man and knows more about the WH than anybody else who was there.

I don't like Sheppard Smith--LOOOOOONG before his coverage on the idiot's book.

[PalmettoMason]

Yeah, did you notice that Shep said that Rove declined an opportunity to refute Mac’s claims on Shep’s show?

Shep made it sound as though Rove has something to hide. He didn’t mention Rove’s response to the allegations on Hannity last night.

I cannot stand Shep.

Here it something interesting on the publisher of Scott’s book:

PERSEUS-SOROS BIOPHARMACEUTICAL FUND, L.P., which Perseus co-manages, was formed in 2000 with capital commitments totaling $449 million to make investments in life sciences companies

Wonder if it is one George Soros?

I'm confused. Were they conspiring to say they HAD something to do with the leak? I guess they wanted to take the media attention away from Armitage.
