ON CAPITOL HILL Valerie Wilson Testifies
Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) chairs a House Oversight and Government Reform Ctme. hearing on the disclosure of CIA Agent Valerie Plame Wilson's identity. The hearing will look into whether White House officials followed appropriate procedures for safeguarding the identity of Ms. Wilson.
FRIDAY, C-SPAN AT 10AM ET
I would assume if the records are being kept open..that means all of the records of this hearing.
However, judging from the attendance at today's hearing..I don't think there are any Republicans in Washington that care if the White House once again gets railroaded..and is set up for impeachment.
The Dems don't realize they have highlighted Toensing's expertise on the law. Imagine how many times she's come across cases involving the law!!!
Yes, by all means, let's.
After all, that's what will REALLY teach the GOP their lesson!
There's very little that the minority can do, because they're in the minority.
This "hearing" is a good example of what democrats do when they have power. After all their wining about minority rights last year, you can see how they steamrolled over the rights of the minority in this "hearing".
I don't think this is what some conservatives had in mind when they said losing the House would be good for conservatives.
"She is not old enough to get her pension yet."
That's why I pointed out that she's suing to get it early. She did stay long enough to qualify for one.
As Victoria said based on her clients, "When I ask covert agents if they would hold a desk job in Langley, they just laugh at her." Based on personal experience working with Agency personnel, this is correct. You have to live your cover. Once you don't, forget it.
LOL.
"Really? Where did you hear that?"
LOL........they looked like FOOLS.
They don't like it when people go "off script!"
Hillary would sound like a broken parrot, she'd be spouting, "reclaiming my time, reclaiming my time, reclaiming my time." so many times. LOL!
RFOLMAO..........you made me laugh REALLY loud. :-)
It is times like this that I wish we all lived close to each other so we could go to lunch right now and hash this absurd "hearing" that we just saw!!!
I have so much to say and ask...
Why isnt ugly Waxman looking into Berger's slap on the wrist??
That really would be great.
And I wish Victoria Toensing could come. We would buy her lunch.
You've got the wrong Corn article.
Corn published that Wilson's wife was covert on July 16, 2003, two days before Novak's column appeared:
“Did Bush officials blow the cover of a U.S. intelligence officer working covertly in a field of vital importance to national security — and break the law — in order to strike at a Bush administration critic and intimidate others?”

I just called the minority office of the Govt Oversight Committee also, and the girl that answered said Waxman only gave them 5 DAYS notice...Boo FREAKING Hoo, and that ALL the other Republicans had OTHER things to do!!! She name Burton, Mica, and gave me the whole list which I couldn't write down but there is a list of these weasels!!!
I just called the Washington office of diGenova & Toensing, LLP to express my gratitude to Victoria for trying to get the truth out. I spoke to a woman who said she would pass on my comments to Ms. Toensing. I was asked if I was with an organization and I said I am not involved in any political group, but am a registered member of Free Republic, which is a Conservative Forum. I told this woman that I simply wanted to thank Ms. Toensing for trying to get the facts out, even though she was thwarted in her attempts by Henry Waxman, and that there were a lot of people out there (and on FR), that were grateful for everything she and her husband have done, or attempted to do over the years.
Surely you jest. Have you forgotten that Burger was Clinton's menion and besides being a Democrat? LOL
The Republicans were TOO BUSY doing other things to show up is what the girl that answered the phone in that office said!!
That was my impression but Victoria was smiling while he said it. But guess that is difference between professionalism and myself. I would have been over his podium and had him by his scrawny neck til he took it back. :o)
Because Democrats are allowed to break the law
I know exactly what you mean!
Imagine if we were all alone watching that; hell, we'd be beating our dogs!
