You are incorrect. If VP goes down, for whatever reason, the Prsident appoints the replacment.

Check history. Nixon’s VP, Spiro Agnew, had to resign while serving as VP. Nixon appointed Michigan Senator Gerald Ford to serve as VP.

Howbout a class action lawsuit brought against these bozos? “The people of the U.S. vs Bush and Toadies?”

I love the smell of flop sweat in the morning!

The Speaker of the House is next in line and would become VP. Bush would not just appoint anyone, he must elevate the speaker.

My comments will be focused on the fundamental issues of the need for an honest press and the state of the american mind.

It may be possible that the owners/managers of the New York Times could be indited based on extending the deception of their “reporting” supporting the Iraq War. Perhaps this could include obstruction of justice (lost notes for Judy, etc.). This question and the questions enumerated above need to be addresed by professionals.

It is the media that has fed lies to the american people allowing they to still believe 911 and Iraq were connected. We need to procecute the meda to to the full extend of the law and other nonviolent means to ensure long term accuate reporting. We also need to change the brainwashing of our children in schools. Instead of teaching them to be reflexibly obedient to authority, we need to teach discernment and the value of personal integrity.

Regardless of the inditments to come, the media and education must be transformed if we are to succeed in reversing the tide of corruption, murder, and torture.

I feel that the diverse organizations need to work togeher to make this dream come true.

Or, what FBI officials may have inadvertently learned from him while tailing him on the AIPAC spy scandal.

Is Franklin “turning”? Do the “roots” possibly include Franklin and perhaps even Bolton?

One thing we know…Franklin is facing major time, and has recently struck a deal and guilty plea. The same day Miller was walking, and Libby was musing about roots turning…

Libby has no excuse. He should have left his job if he was unwilling to testify, not dishonorably sign a waiver to cooperate.

I don’t know the timeline, but one wonders if Ari refused to sign such a waiver, and instead offered up his resignation (which would have been phased out so not to seem conspicuous). If so, at least Ari did the honorable thing, and best acted in his own interest, and that of his family.

Unfortnately I fear you’re right – but then again apparently the investigation is widening based on 9/11 and the Iraq war case. We’ll see how much he ACTUALLY does.

I read that judy sat in jail because she wanted to strike a deal to narrow the scope of her testimony to the plame leak. why, I am not exactly sure.

He’ll simply say I forgot about it. If all the prosecutor has is that Libby failed to mention this meeting to support a perjury charge, then a Libby indictment will not follow imo. Perjury, though serious, is weak standing alone and usually says the prosecutor tried and tried but could not get anything with meat.

This commission can be used as cummulative and probative evidence to support more numerous and substantive charges, perhaps including perjury. This will happen to Libby imo.

So this “omission” is as big a deal as they get in Grand Jury land. Separately, there is a duty to testify with “the whole truth.” Also, consider Scooter’s love letter to Judy; “I’m sure you already know that all of the other reporters have freely discussed our JULY conversations.” More evidence rebutting any protest of “an honest mistake.”

Even if Fitz never asked about a “June 23″ conversation, he no doubt asked for “any other relevant information regarding the Wilson trip and the White House reaction to it” or some such catch-all; he is a professional prosecutor after all. Usually this would elicit a response that is the truth (data dump) or a lie (there is no more information). A lie makes the “omission” into a perjury.
