I just got this e-mail from a Democratic House member's staffer with tons of good dirt on the Plame investigation. I'm reprinting it whole cloth to share all, and show that while these Hill staffers are well-informed, they sure could use some capitalization classes.

Among the things I hadn't seen before:

-Fred Flights, an assistant to John Bolton, is a named name who could be indicted.

-Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham have been suggested as replacements for Dick Cheney.

-Colin Powell told John McCain he showed the infamous memo with Plame's identity on it two just two people; Dick Cheney and George Bush.

-Fitzgerald is looking at the precedent set from the indictment of Tricky Dick's veep Spiro Agnew to pursue against Cheney.

That's red meat folks.

Speaking of outing people...

surprised Condi wasn't on the short list. Then again, maybe not so much.

party instead of tending to business...like Katrina.

"Colin Powell told John McCain he showed the infamous memo with Plame's identity on it two just two people; Dick Cheney and George Bush"

trip to Africa during which Powell had the memo. Previous published reports (not anonymous emails) indicated that the memo had been passed around the biggies on board AF 1 that day. Only the memo didn't mention "Plame" and did not address her covert status.

And the memo originally was compiled in June by State. Not exactly hot news since it was a compilation of previous material, events. In March reportedly Wilson was told that WHIG's decided to do a "work up" on Wilson in March. By June apparently Libby that we know of was already chatting up Miller and spreading the news about Wilson's wife, weeks before Wilson's Op Ed, Bush's trip to Africa and Powell's having the memo on AF1.

can't wait for the indictments. I will be:beer: :popcorn:

Wow! "Showed it to Bush and Cheney" oh please please just this one time deity, i don't ask for much.

BE SERIES ON THIS THREAD!!!!

:D

i don't think i can wait another whole week.

of them! Haaawwwwwwwwwww!

debunked.

The original text claimed that Powell only showed Bush and Cheney the state Department Memo on the flight to Africa. cheney was never on that flight.

I'm also suspicious about claims of Powell's loose lips. He still seems to be a company man.

for "co opting" foreign policy?

He had to have Colin's blessings.

They are both high ranked military men.

because of Wilkerson's decision to speak out.

I'm pretty sure that was in the same article. Until then, I was willing to give Powell more credit.

we shall see...........

When I read it I thought wilkerson was just saying that Powell fell out with him to protect Powell.

am not reacting to any of this....

.....and the message I read, said that Powell had shown it to Bush and Cheney, it did not necessarily state that they were on the same flight.

And actually, I do believe that memo is a key piece of evidence. There was an article about it in the NY Times a few months ago.

So while some of this may just be rumor, I do believe there is a lot of truth to the memo being a crucial bit of info.

Good news, he's still alive. The rat bastard is in St. Louis for a fundraiser tonight. The fucking stench is horrible, but hopefully he won't be here long.

Good to know he's still kickin', to get the shit kicked out of him.

Damn, I'm really ready for Fitzmas!!

:)

in Cali last nite. Maybe they think these are the last high roller dollars they'll be able to drain out of their rich friends before they become spent political capital themselves.

they are dumber then dirt. This administration would be poison to any politicians career.

Not that it won't stop some Republicans, but smart ones better back that thing up.

for the "base." I know how loyal some pubbies can be.

They have made such a God-awful mess of things--and I mean everything--that there is not a chance in hell of anything going right for years!

-Colin Powell told John McCain he showed the infamous memo with Plame's identity on it two just two people; Dick Cheney and George Bush.

I thought there was another thread that debunked this claim. Anyone?

from the BFEE as possible, they have a stinch about them that could have some real lasting power. It this comes about.

n/t

Fred Flights... no surprise there.

McCain and Graham... No surprise there. But McCain won't be the guy. Gov. Napolitano would appoint a Dem to replace him.

on edit:

Given all the factual problems with this so-called e-mail from a staffer, I've gotta discount the whole damned thing. Hate to bust everybody's balloon, but this is moonshine.

This is rubbish. e-mail claims that Cheney was on flight with Bush and Powell. On top of the fact that this is known to be untrue, it's very stupid. It cannot happen. Why? Because pres and veep *NEVER* travel together. The Secret Service would have an absolute fit. The USA does not put itself in jeopardy like this. When pres travels, and is in putative jeopardy, veep stays safe, and vice-versa.

Plus, brother Jebbie may still have a ghost of a chance for a 2008 bid.

She would appoint a Dem as Senator to replace McCain.

in three previous threads here. And in parts of the blogosphere. Most recent previous thread on this here today: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x2172814 in addition to two previous threads.

Anyone who's read up on previously published reports regarding the State Dept memo on AF1 trip to Africa should know this email is disinformation.

:eyes:

still licking my fingers.
Great aftertaste.

TASTY!

Wouldn't Lindsey be fun as vp?

Onolicious Food, drink, laughs....

I am holding my breathing hoping to the Gods the bastards go to jail.

eom

it called her Mrs. Wilson IV, whose husband was a former ambassador?

He was splitting hairs.

That would be a hoot!

Rufus DeVane King was our last gay V.P.!
