I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, former chief of staff to Vice President Richard Cheney, is reportedly planning to attend a fundraiser in March for embattled Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), who is targeting Trump on the January 6 Committee. Libby was convicted in 2007 of obstruction of justice and other crimes related to a leak of the identity of CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson. The conviction was widely viewed as a miscarriage of justice, especially because Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage later admitted that he was the likely source of the leak, not Libby. President George W. Bush commuted Libby’s sentence,...

Why won't Kerry reveal his military records as President Bush has done?Because he is hiding something! What can he be hiding? It has to be something terrible, so terrible and dishonest that it would immediately turn even his supporters against him. His record contains such a stain that it would prove Kerry guilty of every nasty (and untrue) thing he's said about Bush.What could it be? And, to the "liberals" on this list, Kerry's refusal to tell the truth, to continue to hide what he knows would influence voters, DOES allow us to describe what it must be.First, we know...
