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.
It would be funny if McClellan got there, was put under oath, and when they first ask him “what evidence to do have for your charges”, he responded “I read the congressional record, and all of you have said these things. I thought that meant you knew them to be true, after all you wouldn’t lie to the American people, would you?”
I said it would be funny if he said he based all his claims on things he heard the democrats say to the public, figuring that they would never lie, and so he wonders why they need him to testify about things they’ve already insisted were true.
I presume the book is not out yet, that when it is released we’ll find it doesn’t really make a lot of these claims as if they were fact, and that it won’t matter because the story for a week will have been about how true these things were because McClellan said them.
Oddly, the Democrats NEVER thought McClellan was telling the truth before.
Thank you, this is excellent from Rush.
Not admissions; false charges.
McClellan is a bag of excrement.
Richard Holbrooke is the Vice-Chairman of Perseus!! Golly gee, I wonder how much $$ these ‘Rat scumbags offered little Scottie, contingent of course upon him doing the requisite hatchet job on the Bush admin.
I have yet to see one piece of actual information that Scott M. is adding to the public debate — so far it’s just the whiny, biased opinions of David Brock’s new butt-boy.
Grandma many names Strayhorn became a republican in 1986 and rose through the ranks until she decided to run as an independent against Rick "mandatory vaccination" Perry.
Scott McClellan’s brother was the head of the FDA for the first Bush Administration. I wonder if he is also working for a Soros-funded group now?
They figure they have a friendly.
A great analysis by Rush. Personally, I think McCain has found his perfect running mate in McClellan.
OMG McClellan was bought and paid for like a cheap trick! And for all the world to see. I wonder if they’ve had him rehearsing his “testimony”. What a POS.

Seems Soro’s is trying to take over the world....LOL
This Frank guy, the Publisher, is going to be easy to track though....
This is a set-up of the first order. I sure hope the republicans on that committee can grow a pair and expose this crap!!
Lots of info to track on the SEC!!

Good find! That angle would make an excellent FR thread.
You are right about Soros. Bill O’Reilly just mentioned that the publisher has ties to Soros.
Must be reading FR....LOL!!
Wexler is YOUR HOLLYWOOD. Hollywood is the House district he represents. I would recommend NO MONEY sent to anything produced out of Hollywood with the exception of family friendly prodcutions. I no longer subscribe to magazines, newspapers, attend movies at theaters, nor rent them. We are so sucked into our current culture that it takes a dedicated awareness to make boycotts fully known.
Need to do some more work on it. If someone posts the info..make sure I get a hat tip.....LOL!!
