Libby, Wislon and Plame

Well I’ve had my legal staff at the prestigious law firm of Dewy, Screwem & Howe check out the Libby indictment. The boys at DS&H have gotten back to me and informed that the indictment does in fact meet the Lex criteria outlined in the post below. The indictment is in fact substantial (30 years in prison and over a mil in fines is substantial) and the fact that even Dewy could follow the charges, indicates that it is indeed clear. While Mr. Libby remains innocent, if the indictment is accurate, it would appear that he took some liberty with the truth while talking to the FBI and the Grand Jury. But in a legal system where a catchy phrase, “If the glove doesn’t fit. You must acquit.” trumps DNA evidence, anything can happen at trial.

Now the dopes in the MSM have turned an indictment about lying to the FBI and the Grand Jury into a question about going to war in Iraq. Huh? Seems to me a case about lying to the FBI and the Grand Jury is going to center on what Libby said to the FBI and the Grand Jury and how that differed with what Libby knew to be true. It seems to me the judge in this case is unlikely to begin the trial by saying, “The first thing we have to do is have the President and Vice President in here to restate their reasons for going to war in Iraq.”

The next thing the heroes in the MSM are attempting to accomplish is to make the indictment out to be more than appears. The question the MSM keeps asking is, “What was Libby trying to hide?” Well how about the obvious answer. The time tested answer. Libby lied to save his butt. Libby believed he was in trouble and fabricated a story to keep himself out of trouble. Now, it appears that the only trouble he was really ever in any danger of was fabricating a story. There was no underlying crime.

The MSM also remains hung up on Rove. Rove, they remind us three times every five minutes, is still under investigation. The story goes that the prosecutor is trying to flip Libby to get Rove then Bush. Not likely. 22 months of investigation and no indictment. What are they going to do in the next 22 months that couldn’t have done in the last? Fitzgerald needs to charge Rove or clear him or he’ll become a partisan hack. The MSM hails him as a non–partisan hero because has never declared a party affiliation. Well for 20 years in the Marine Corps Lex never registered as a Republican or had a single political bumper sticker attached to his car. But Lex has always been a Conservative. So Fitzgerald is something, he just hasn’t told us what. How he handles Rove will give us a clue.

So what’s it all about. It’s about bringing down W. The MSM and Libs are really depressed that Libby is the only one that has been indicted. They will continue to beat the drum. Fitzgerald is the new Bill Burkett. The indictment is the new National Guard memo in the MSM’s effort to destroy the president.

And what has Lying Joe been up to? Well, he’s penned a piece for the LA Times titled “Our 27 months of hell.” In that piece Wilson comes off sounding like a guy who dashes out of the front door in his PJs to grab the morning paper during a snow storm, hears the front door slam behind him as he locks himself out of the house, then he bitches about being cold. Both Wilson and the PJ dope’s discomfort were caused by their own stupidity. Wilson and his wife conspired to undermine U.S. foreign policy. Wilson’s stupidity was not in opposing the president’s policy. His stupidity was lying about it. Nobody other than her lying sack of excrement husband was responsible for outing Plame. Wilson argued loudly and publicly that VP Cheney sent him to Niger. Not so.

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence notes the following:

“Some CPD officials could not recall how the office decided to contact the former ambassador, however, interviews and documents provided to the Committee indicate that his wife, a CPD employee, suggested his name for the trip. The CPD reports officer told Committee staff that the former ambassador's wife "offered up his name" and a memorandum to the Deputy Chief of the CPD on February 12, 2002, from the former ambassador's wife says, 'my husband has good relations with both the PM [prime minister] and the former Minister of Mines (not to mention lots of French contacts), both of whom could possibly shed light on this sort of activity.' This was just one day before CPD sent a cable DELETED requesting concurrence with CPD's idea to send the former ambassador to Niger and requesting any additional information from the foreign government service on their uranium reports. The former ambassador's wife told Committee staff that when CPD decided it would like to send the former ambassador to Niger, she approached her husband on behalf of the CIA and told him 'there's this crazy report' on a purported deal for Niger to sell uranium to Iraq.”

Next’ lying Joe says the Iraqis never bought yellow cake from Niger and the president was misleading the people with the now famous 16 words in the Sate of the Union. Well, Joe the 16 words never said that Iraq bought the yellow cake. The 16 words said Iraq tried to buy yellow cake - a fact that the source, British Intelligence, still stands by today. Again from the SSCI report:

“[Wilson's] intelligence report indicated that former Nigerien Prime Minister Ibrahim Mayaki was unaware of any contracts that had been signed between Niger and any rogue states for the sale of yellowcake while he was Prime Minister (1997-1999) or Foreign Minister (1996-1997). Mayaki said that if there had been any such contract during his tenure, he would have been aware of it. Mayaki said, however, that in June 1999,(REDACTED) businessman, approached him and insisted that Mayaki meet with an Iraqi delegation to discuss ‘expanding commercial relations’ between Niger and Iraq. The intelligence report said that Mayaki interpreted ‘expanding commercial relations’ to mean that the delegation wanted to discuss uranium yellowcake sales. The intelligence report also said that ‘although the meeting took place, Mayaki let the matter drop due to the UN sanctions on Iraq.’"

Now the guys in the White House had a lying rouge CIA operative shouting misinformation to the press. The MSM gleefully lapped up the lies because they made Bush look bad. The guys in the White House went about setting the record straight about a craven pompous lying ass. But the MSM could care less about Wilson’s lying. After all, that lying served their purpose. If there were true justice in all of this, Plame and lying Joe Wilson would be thrown into the prison cells right next to Libby’s.
