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.

The Democrats beat the drum of impeachment...I say lets have it out... lets get it all out full on lets see who lied to whom... I think Joe and Valerie will be in prison before its over.

[jimmyray]

The Democrats beat the drum of impeachment...

Have they not heard? Bush is not running again!

[TomServo]

Wexler...

Har Har...

He’s always been a lame dumbass...

[daviscupper]

This couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. Scott deserves this. May all his royalties from book sales go to attorneys to keep his own behind out of jail.

[SolidWood]

Having McClellan testify would be actually a lot of fun. The traitor McClellan will be exposed as the bumbling, lying fraud he is and the Dem’s will be embarrassed that they got nothing out of this but a dog and pony show.

[donna]

McClellan is going to spend all his book profits on lawyers.

[SeeSharp]

This is where we find out who really wrote his book. That guy can’t form a complete sentence.

[clintonh8r]

Bobby Wexluh (”My son, the congressman”) is a little attention whore.

[MHGinTN]

You have missed the issue in the exercise ... he will be a darling for the Waxmanesque ‘great witch hunters’.

[roses of sharon]

Yes, obviously Scott would have to admit he was lying, assuming, and using left-wing parlance to sell books.

[Perdogg]

The fact that two individuals talked is no evidence of OOJ. In fact, joint defenses are legal as long as no party suborns perjury.

[jrooney]

GW will not claim Executive Privilege but throw him to Wexler’s wolves. Scott can’t back up his claims in the book. He is toast. The traitor NEVER thought this would occur. Pay back is a bitch Scotty. Live long and lonely. No one will stand with you now.

[GourmetDan]

'...the Dem’s will be embarrassed that they got nothing out of this but a dog and pony show."

Dem's? Embarrassed for staging a dog and pony show?

Thou dreamest...

[lonestar]

“The admissions made by Scott McClellan ...

There is a big difference between "admissions" and "accusations" and Scotty admits nothing!...only accuses.

[Jonah Johansen]

In case you missed it, Rove has already debunked this little bit of paranoia. He met with Libby routinely as part of his job, it was not a secret and only suspicious if you were totally out of the loop and a total moron. Which Scott ‘deer in the headlights’ McClellan was and is.

[MHGinTN]

The essence of it all is to make lots of noise which drives the leftists orgasmic, but do nothing substantial and claim the Pubbies are obstructing the case! Democrat voters cannot see the scam before their eyes so they keep voting scum like Henry Waxcrap and Robert Axer back into office.

[Question Liberal Authority]

I remember when people used to seriously contend that Democrats couldn’t possibly be McCarthyists, because McCarthy was a Republican.

[saminfl]

I notice that the DBM is going crazy over this book. They hardly said a word about the books by the FBI agent in the Clinton Whitehouse, or the book by the Colonel who carried the "football."

Conveniently, I don't remember them saying anything about "Unfit For Command."

[John 3_19-21]

“I’m shocked I tell ya, shocked”

I just accidently happened to catch the NBC tease for the evening news and they are leading with this.........I’m just shocked!

s/off

[penelopesire]

This is all a set up. They are not going to be ‘hard’ on McClellan. Most of them will lob him soft balls in order to ‘set-up’ impeachment hearings. Here is a look at the clowns on that committee:

[roses of sharon]

From National Review, McClellan’s book on page 36:

“One of my favorite classes at UT was a leadership course taught by Sara Weddington, a longtime friend of Ann Richards who was known for her involvement representing the anonymous “Jane Roe” in Roe v. Wade, the case that made abortion legal across the United States.”

Good grief! A liberal mole!

[daviscupper]

That maybe true but he will be under oath and they will push him to the “max” to take down Rove, Chenney, Bush etc. Either he has the goods or he will look like a total ass.

I am betting he will stay true to form and look like a total ass. This will be great and hopefully very expensive for Scott. Like I said. It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Great.

[daviscupper]

Exactly.

[gridlock]

It would be funny as all get out if McClellan testified that his book is nothing but fiction and innuendo, and he wrote all the garbage into it because his publisher told him that was the best way to get big sales.

[return to sender]

“You have missed the issue in the exercise ... he will be a darling for the Waxmanesque ‘great witch hunters’.”

You are right here. They will drag this on for months, and use it to go after Cheney. Lots of future headlines to come. Lots of diversions from their incompetent Presidential nominee.

[steve-b]

Is there a betting pool on when he’ll be offered an immunity deal in exchange for testifying against Rove?

[Always Right]

If I were in the GOP I would support their effort, just to show the Dems for the jackasses they are.

[andyandval]

Dear Mr. Wexler, 36 of your comrades in the news media said no crime was committed.

Now please STFU.

[txflake]

Whenever I simply can’t make anything, a brooch, hat, pterodayctyl out of something I always look for your assessment.

What on earth are the Rats trying to do, here?

Create a dust cover for something about to break on Barack Obama?

[lonestar]

Googleing "One Tough Grandma" Carol Keeton McClellan Rylander Strayhorn--

Wow They do tend to build dynasties in Texas tho. Does she brag about Scott or does she not mention it?

One dysfunctional family!

[dragonblustar]

The traitor McClellan

[Dilbert56]

The President should sit right next to him during the circus.

[RDTF]

yea impeachment sure caused Bubba lots of problems. It was so bad for him that he may end up right back in the WH.

I am curious on what might be in Scott McClennan's medical records in connection to what drugs he may have been taking. His behavior is out of the ordinary, IMO. More likely than not this book will backfire on him!

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

The Circus is coming to town!

[sono]

First witness for the Defense would be Patrick Fitzgerald. Wexler, Marxist Doofus from Boca Raton, is a grandstanding nitwit.

[SE Mom]

McClellan ought to toss and turn for many a sleepless night.

Destatable.

[Zeppo]

Luckily for FDR, Wexler can't disinter the former President and rake him over the coals for orchestrating his massive propaganda campaign to sell WWII to the American people...

[lonestar]

PUHLEEZ let Maxine Waters and Sheila Jaackson-Lee be on the Congressional committee questioning Scotty!

Larry, Curly and Moe would have to take a backseat!

[roses of sharon]

“He promised when he first started writing this book that he’d engage in some truth-telling,” said Wolffe, who had spoken to McClellan in recent months. “And that’s what he’s done.”

From the Politico.

Sounds like Wolffe, Olbermanns and Newsweek’s butt-boy, has been talking with Scott.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm.

[ljco]

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

I'll tell you what, I'm outraged that THIS is what Congress thinks they need to act on. Do your job, do what you were elected to do and run the country you dumb-dumbs!!!

[mo]

Just wait....they’ll be gunning for a Pelosi Presidency.......

[AdaGray]

Poor Scott. He wants to be part of the “in crowd” and he will forever be marked in history as a weasel and a wuss.

[Rennes Templar]

“Scott can’t back up his claims in the book.”

True. I read another report that said he was relying on
innuendo, third party reports and hearsay for many of his claims. He will rue the day.

[dynachrome]

I think this will be the hook the stalinists use to try to impeach Pres. Bush before his term is up.

[Happy Rain]

Scot McClellan is Anita Hill with hairy knuckles.

[linn37]

Now that would be Karma.

[billva]

Wexler...

Har Har...

He’s always been a lame dumbass...

Which is an insult to all lame dumbasses out there.

Being compared to Wexler has to be the ultimate insult.

[Miss Didi]

RUSH: Folks, if I may be candid, this is what so frustrated me about McCain for all these last six years. McCain was trying to do the same thing. He was trying to be treated as an elite by the liberals, and how did he do it? By trashing his own party; by trashing his own president; by being more critical of his own party than he ever was our enemies; by making deals with them. He almost quit the Republican Party in 2004, whatever it was. It was he who approached John Kerry. People ask me, "Why do you have problems with McCain?" Why do I have problems with Scott McClellan? It's not quite the same thing, but the liberals seek these people out. Now, if McCain had decided not to run for president, he would be most-favored person status, he would be one of the wisest wise men on all these cable network shows but now they gotta take him out 'cause he's jumped back. He hasn't jumped back, they just think he has. This is a clear illustration here of how this all works. McClellan can sit there, "Okay, fine, the left's going to take care of me fine now. George Bush fired me and left me out to dry, replaced me with Tony Snow, but the left is going to take care of me. For the rest of my life I am a credible expert on the Republican Party and the Bush administration. The left will never criticize me anymore." Some people will trade their souls for that.


Scott McClellan looks for liberal love and protection.

Word to McClellan. When you play with rattlers, you’re bound to get bit.
