PLAME'S ANTI-W. MONEY (attended Soros fund-raiser; listed as "retired" on FEC form)
NY POST ^ | July 27, 2005 | DEBORAH ORIN

Posted on 07/27/2005 2:45:23 AM PDT by Liz

Outed CIA spy Valerie Plame last fall gave a campaign contribution to go toward an anti-Bush fund-raising concert starring Bruce Springsteen.......

It's the first revelation that Plame participated in anti-Bush political activity while working for the CIA.

The $372 donation to the anti-Bush group America Coming Together, first reported by Time magazine's Web site, was made in Plame's married name of Valerie E. Wilson and covered two tickets.

The FEC record lists her occupation as "retired" even though she's still a CIA staffer. Under employer it says: "N.A."

A special prosecutor is probing whether Plame's CIA identity was leaked to retaliate against her husband, for attacking President Bush's Iraq policy after he went on an Iraq-linked CIA mission arranged by his wife.

Wilson — who played an active role in Democrat John Kerry's losing 2004 campaign — said the anti-Bush concert was "great" and told Time that his wife "doesn't recall listing herself as retired."

CIA rules allow campaign contributions, but the fact that Plame gave money to the anti-Bush effort is likely to raise eyebrows.

Federal rules require a political-action committee to ask all donors to list their employers.

"You don't have to provide it, but if you do, you shouldn't provide false information on those forms — like saying you're retired if you're not," said Larry Noble of the Center for Responsive Politics.

America Coming Together is one of the anti-Bush activist groups bankrolled by Bush-hating billionaire George Soros. He gave the group around $10 million.

--SNIP--

White House officials say Rove was seeking to discredit Wilson's attacks on Bush by noting that Wilson only got picked for the CIA mission because of his wife.

A bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report found that Plame did arrange her husband's trip even though he repeatedly denied it.

I told everyone a long time ago, this goes to the Clintons.
That's the only thing that would make Miller feel safer in jail and the only reason the Old Grey Whore would let her sit in jail.

Cooper's wife (Clintonista), his sister (yep), don't have to tell you about Wilson (Clinton/Kerry campaign) and who had the most to gain from this.

You must realize that people of her ilk are working in every one of our critical insitituions, CIA, FBI, DOD, and all points in between.

The State Department is particularly filled with America haters.

Could you explain about the angle on Cooper's wife and sister? I don't understand.

So Cooper mentions Karl Rove's name, but he's not damaging him fatally. Just that comment about "I said too much".

Miller, OTOH, is silent as a sphinx. You're saying the reason for her silence is that her info came from someone near the Clintons instead?

Why tell the truth (or nothing) when one can lie? Seems a common democrat trait - the drive to lie.

The bigger point is that she lied on the FEC form. Also, the nature of the lie would lead someone to believe that she was no longer a covert agent. Get my point.

Both were career employees who were working for the USG long before Clinton took office in 1992. However, there is no doubt that they are Dem partisans.

Wilson was on the NSC responsible for African Affairs, which is why he was involved in Clinton's trip to Africa.

What did the fact he had a "high-level security clearance" have to do with telling him what her job was? Things must have really changed in the security rules world, I thought one had to have a "need to know" for access to classified information. Was the fact that she worked for the CIA classified or not?

She couldn'tut her employers name on the FEC form because she was violating the Hatch Act.

$oreA$$ and the Plames.

I imagine that that is just scratching the surface of interactions between the Plames and $oreA$$'s anti America groups.

This has probably been pointed out before but...doesn't "America Coming Together" sound like a nationwide circle jerk?

Burying them up to their necks, at the shoreline, then waitng for the tide to roll should be considered----right after the bamboo shoots under the fingernails, that is.
