    Please, just stop with the trademark of Fox News, the passive/aggresive “?” with every statement.


  2. Admin says:

    That was ABC News’ question mark, not ours…


  3. Zookeeper says:

    Who knows if this will heat up the trial, but maybe the trial will start moving forward again.


  4. Karl Rove says:

    Funny,
    When it comes to prosecuting people via the media the Democrats are completely on board. But when it comes to the defense of America the Democrats proclaim “The Republicans are in charge of that! Not my problem!”, whilst they draw their salaries and soft money.


  5. Cyra Brown says:

    Wasn’t the starting date of his trial postponed, until sometime AFTER the 06 elections? I semm to recall that it was. So this is probably more paper shuffling by the Defense, to look busy. Nothing to important, I am sure. Just wasting Fitzgerald’s time.

    Headline should read “Libby’s Lawyers Are Having Fitz”

    I was hoping for a speedy trial so the world can see what a big nothing this is and call for some (liberal) heads over the waste, accusations, and LIES.


  8. Mary Poppin says:

    #7 How is this a waste of time when the Republican out it a CIA agent?

    You are a Right Wing Nut.


  9. Krazny says:

    Yeah because the republicans were sure upset obout the time wasted and money spent on the Ken Starr investigation.

    What actually proof does it provide that Rove will be indicted? Just pure speculation in my honest opinion. Again, the fact of the case is that no one has been charged with the original crime that was committed, the outing of a covert agent and I believe that at the end of the day, no one will either. This is just a big witchhunt serving as payback for Starr’s investigation.


  12. Zookeeper says:

    #7 – I’m certain that IF you turn out to be wrong on this, Retired Republican Soldier, you will return here with your mea culpas.

    Titus,

    Yes, I read Leopold using a Wayne Madsen Report “exclusive” to cover his own ass. In other words, he dug up a sealed case file that is being presided over by the same grand jury as the Plame investigation, and therefore he can pretend that it is the magical indictment he reported on a month ago.

    That charade will last until this case file is opened to the public, which might be never. I wonder why Leopold seized upon this opportunity!


  14. avh says:

    well considering it’s stewing at about -273K, anything would heat it up at this point. maybe fitzmas will come in october – oh dang, that’s what i said last october. =(


  15. Marie says:

    We will be lucky if it heats up to the point where something substantive occurs.

    hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

    …yeah, right!
