Did his wife have the authority to send Joe on a junket?
If not perfectly asked question!
Flush any Korans lately?
Old news. He's reading a court transcript trying to make up something new.
Where is the Oh Geez, Not this crap again guy?
Mike the Spike is a good name for him.
Never has so much been made out of so little - and for so long.
Meanwhile, at the border...
When Cooper called Libby, he already knew that Plame was CIA. When Novak called Rove, he already knew that Plame was CIA.
Furthermore, Novak called CIA and they confirmed her CIA employment.
Which means, it was no secret. If it was secret, why would CIA confirm it to a reporter? Since, supposedly, she was working through a private company which provided cover, they could easily have said, no, she doesn't work here...
But they didn't. They said, yes, she's CIA.
When Fitz gets done investigating the guys who didn't out Plame, will he get around to investigating the people who did? Like, maybe, Wilson and Plame? Or, like, the guy at CIA who confirmed her employment to Rove?
Fitz needs to get a grip and review just what he was supposed to do exactly. Also AG Gonzales could actually make himself useful and fire this horse's patoot and give this job to a real litagator (like Ken Star ;-) ).
My GOD what kind of coutry are we coming to when the Vice President of the nation can ASK if a CIA agent sent her husband on a foreign service mission?!?!?!?!? Stalinism aroudn the corner!!!! /sarc.
In another reality, the PRESS would be the ones asking what the heck a CIA agent was doing sending his/her SPOUSE on a mission of national security importance.
Totally debunked but the MSM cannot resist trying to resurect something, anything, that puts the Bush White House in a bad light. They are stoking fires that have already gone out.
ONE indictment from the Bush White House, Scooter Libby, compared to over one hundred under Clinton. The media failed to report the severity or connections in Clinton's White House which proves they have little standing today to criticize anything, ANYTHING, the Bush White House does.
I spanked my wife of 35 years one time thirty years ago, so I guess that makes me a wife-abuser, huh. I "thought" about what would happen if Clinton were impeached, so I guess that puts me in the catagory of political abuser. Ooops, that happened. Okay. I "thought" about what would happen if some good American went up to Hillary and just smacked her. I guess that makes me a stalker or potential threat.
I'll try, but it's hard to coral such thoughts.
Fitzgerald's assertion that "the evidence about the conversation concerning the Novak column provides a strong motive for the defendant to provide false information and testimony about his disclosures to reporters." is specious and misleading - it is already in the public record that Libby is not the one who leaked the info to Novak, and so a conversation by others about the Novak column shortly after it was published has no bearing on whether Libby had a strong motive to lie to the FBI or to the grand jury months later.
For Fitzgerald to falsely claim that it is a strong motive shows nothing so much as how weak Fitzgerald's case actually is that he has to resort to such patently silly statements. For Isikoff to have made a big deal out of it merely confirms that Isikoff is not to be taken seriously.
I read the transcript of the May 5 hearing; there's no mention of Cheney in this context.
Sounds like the case against Martha Stewart which was basically, "We know you are guilty so when you say you aren't you are committing perjury." Sooner or later, probably after the '08 election, this case by Fitzgerald will come unraveled.
If the Democrats take back the House in '06 they will use things like this to pull off their coup. Impeach Cheney and Bush and strap the Republicans with the Culture of Corruption label to win it all.
No question that Fitz has a great gig at probably $500 per hour, and he has already extended his 15 minutes of fame to 20 minutes.
At his billing rates, he's looking through the Aspen housing catalogs, to see if he can extend his moments of fame to 30 minutes, so he can buy one of those properties!
Nothing more, he doesn't give a sh!t about the outcome, just how long can I cash out on this sucker!
This is getting real old. Our so called "Free Press" is as bad as Pravda. One of these days all hell is gonna break loose.
