“You guys seem to forget that nobody got charged for outing Plame, even though Armitage confessed.

So apparently, she wasn’t an agent!!! DUH!”

The idea that if nobody is charged for a crime, a crime didn’t occur is silly at best. First, because someone WAS convicted of Obstruction of Justice for protecting possible involvement by superiors (Fitzgerald called it “throwing sand in investigators’ faces”); and second, because if a crime remains unsolved, it doesn’t mean a crime didn’t occur – that’s just common sense. But often, cultists will eschew common sense in search of a rationalization to explain the behavior of their cult leaders.

The original Novak article was published on July 11, 2003, so of course that’s a lie.

Dreamcrusher: “You mean those which wouldn’t even state for the record whether or not Plame was even a covert agent as defined under the Intelligence Identities Protection Act?”

Again, not sure what “Dreamcrusher” thinks he’s talking about here. The federal prosecutor certainly wasn’t beyond making public pronouncements on Plame’s covert status. Here’s Fitzgerald’s quote:

FITZGERALD (5/25/07): “[I]t was clear from very early in the investigation that Ms. Wilson qualified under the relevant statute (Title 50, United States Code, Section 421) as a covert agent whose identity had been disclosed by public officials, including Mr. Libby, to the press.”

I think this is a demonstration not of lying, but of being lied to by right wing press and believing everything you hear. “Dreamcrusher” is clearly sure he’s right, but uses untrue statements to back up his point. Where did he get his bogus info and why does he believe it? He believes it because he desparately wants to think he’s been right all along and that his beloved leader has not been playing him for a patsy.

Hmmmm ????

ugggh.

Fitzgerald DID NOT have the appetite for justice that useless, RePugniScum Ken Starr had going after Clinton. Given the huge difference between the weight of the cases (one for a sex act and the other TREASON) Fitzgerald is the biggest suck-up, loser prosecutor to NOT help this nation in a very long time!!!

Well let’s go Congress, jump on this.

Finally a troll says something I agree with. But, unlike the troll, I don’t take it as a good thing or a given. I will fight until my last dying breath to make this country the United States of America once again. Right now it’s the United Corporations of America. And this all started when some brilliant judge gave “personhood” to the corporations.

Why did you folks allow that moron to derail this thread. Haven’t you learned anything? Hit the Report Abuse flag every time they post and soon they will be gone.

He’s in good company. Something like 70% of the people in this country either say they have seen a UFO or know someone who has.

I have a question. Why did you all keep responding to this troll once you knew he was here just to fling feces on the wall? Why didn’t you flag him every time he posted something and ignore him. I can understand engaging in Whack a Troll with a troll who is actually trying to make a point. This troll acted like a 2 year old and you all got down on his level and played with him.

With the GOP…….Hoping you and ilk burn in hell worshiping your master. Happy Thanksgiving traitors.

I am only answering this useless trolls question to make a point about something I have always suspected. And that is that Fitzgerald was a plant. Don’t forget that Fitzgerald is a Republican appointed by a Republican administration. I firmly believe that Fitzgerald was told to charge one person, Scooter Libby, to make the whole thing go away. And that’s what he did. People talk about Fitzgerald like he is a hero, I think he is a traitor to his nation. I’m wondering what his payoff is.

We can only hope. My fear is that the Democratic President is going to say “we need to put this behind us to heal the nation”. And that is totally wrong. We need to know exactly what happened to heal the nation. Otherwise, this kind of stuff will happen again and again.
