So only Libby is going down today? I am so disappointed

If what the MSM and the bloggers are saying only Libby will get indicted today. This is so disappointing to me. I had much greater hope ... that it would involve Rove and Cheney and deep down inside I hoped Bush and that it would expose the entire hoax they played on people that caused us to invade Iraq. Now I hear it's just 1 indictment against Libby - Big deal. I feel ripped off.

He has just leased more office space, presumably for an expanded investigative staff. Patience, grasshopper.

The New York Times also reported (speculated) Rove will be kept under investigation by Fitzgerald.

know yet if fitz will ask for more time or not.

Who is official "A"?

Fitz has been asked by 41 members of Congress to investigate Bush, Condilesasta, Rummy and Powell about defrauding Congress and the American people.

Anyone who believes what they hear without evidence one way or the other deserves to be disappointed, imo.

and his new office rental indicates he stays put

It's the beginning. Please don't believe the RW spin, because that's that they'll say - that Libby is no big deal. Lots more to come......just give it time.

Merry Fitzmas... it is the first day of fitzmas, and maybe we should do a Hannukah song here

;-)

Put on your yarmulke
Here comes Fitzannukah...

Okay, that's lame, but hey. :shrug:

How many days does St. Fitz have in it.

Lots of that going on right now... ;-)

Remember the Clinton/Monica stuff was released...to the press...very...very...slowly...one piece at a time...teasing...teasing... you get the picture. Can't shoot all your ammo off at once. Enjoy it.

was obviously a political hack put in to bring Bill down any way possible. Fitz isn't playing political games the same way.

this will NEVER be about 'turnabout is fair play'. Thousands died because of these SOB's, they are trying to destroy this country, the lies, half truth, distortion and distraction. The don't care about anything except money and power. What did clinton do? Get a BJ? Hardly the same thing.I want JUSTICE not revenge!"

Interesting...

NGU.

think they are secretly a republican. You are wrong. Look at when I signed up here. Just because I don't post 100 posts per day doesn't mean I'm a freeper. I want JUSTICE and justice will be that the lies leading up to this war will be exposed.

NGU.

frustrating. That's all

LOL!

but won't be happy until the lies of 9-11 are exposed

just post the "popcorn" smiley in every other thread and you'll be up to 1000+ in no time....it works for others.

An investigation & grand jury process like this takes a LONG TIME.

It's not like this will be over at 5pm today

:shrug:

If you really feel that way, then I suspect you don't understand what the process means. This is devastating news. Too bad you don't feel that way.

They'll find a way to make the rest of his life uncomfortable and unrewarding.

Whatever indictment we get will atleast open up this before the American public. People are asking questions, they will want to know the truth. Give it time, maybe we can get to the real criminal....BUSH!

I think the fun is just beginning.

:toast:

A month ago we would have been thrilled with this news. And its just the beginning.

Fitzgerald has not stated his intentions in public (he's stating them in the courtroom as we "speak") and seeing as his press conference isn't until 2PM EST, we won't know anything for sure until that point.

Was willing to do anything to save his hide...there you have it.

Merry Fitzmas and welcome to DU

Rove is getting an ulcer and Cheney will be "sequestered" in an undisclosed location. And George, I'm guessing he is making up for lost time with his old friend Jack Daniels.

Stock up on popcorn, take a little walk, this is just getting started. We may indeed have a Christmas present.

:popcorn:

When I first heard that Rove wasn't going to be indicted I was let down, but he just isn't going to be indicted *today*. I think this isn't over yet. And anyway, Libby is *Cheney's* guy. I hate Cheney. Anything that makes Cheney uncomfortable is fine with me!

very carefully crafted for a good case. If you are listening to any of the news channels they are talking about how Cheney will most likely have to take the stand and how unusual and politically damaging this is for the entire bush administration.

Does that make you feel better? :eyes:

Edited to change number of indictments from three to five, because there were two counts on one of them. There, that should make you feel EVEN better! (Yeah, right.)

I feel this was done to try and pin him down and force him to begin telling the truth.

Loyalty only goes so far, at Libby's age 25 years is a very long time.

Hee hee.

:popcorn:

go for the small fry and use them against the big fish

Rove weaseled out somehow which isn't really surprising since he's a disgusting slimy slug. :puke:

Oh yeah, it's a nice win for the rethugs..."just Libby", NO Rove, NO Cheney and NO Bush. Forget about the REAL CRIMINALS! Yeah, this really works for them. :grr:

And anyone who's content with "just Libby" might just be from freeperville. :puke:

Perhaps those hypothetical Freepers are leaving "disappointed" posts?

No, that would be WRONG!

Umm...That's against DU rules.

So what are you doing hanging round freeperville? I could give a damn what they are saying over there and have no desire to go over to that hellhole and sully myself to find out, thanks anyway. :puke:

And FYI-I can feel any way I want to about this. The criminals are still in office, and will remain in office since they haven't been indicted...are you happy with that? Are you looking forward to the evil deeds they have next on the agenda? Look no further than Dead US Soldiers, Dead Iraqis, Katrina Victims...

Me-I was looking forward to seeing all of em in stripes or orange jumpsuits behind metal bars where they belong. :grr:

and yeah, maybe I'm naive and maybe I was naive to expect so much this past year-for things like the stolen election to be exposed, for the corporate media to not be so diabolically greedy and to tell the damn truth and for the Katrina victims to be saved. You know....for good to triumph over evil.

All I can say right now is that I hope and pray you are right.

I still believe in Santa Claus...er...Fitz. O8)

You started it 2 posts higher with this:

"And anyone who's content with "just Libby" might just be from freeperville."

I'm one of those people who is "content" with today's turn of events--for now. I happen to be able to see the forest as well as the trees and I know enough history to calmly assess what has happened and what has not.

By your post, however, you are calling ME and anyone else not frothing at the mouth at ONLY 5 counts a freeper. And even though I wasn't posting in this thread before now, I don't appreciate it one bit. How dare you insinuate that people are freepers just because they disagree with your narrow view of today's events?!

So you're disappointed? Fine. Be disappointed. Your disappointment doesn't change how much good happened today, and where it can lead.

Go cry in your beer if you want. I'll just keep drinking mine. :toast:

I can't believe rove is so far sliding by...rat basturd

the real criminals (Bush, Cheney, Rove, and others) are too well insulated to be bothered by a little heat.

That Libby was the designated scapegoat has been evident for weeks. As I posted some days ago, he will go to trial and get the proverbial slap on the wrist. All the others will skate.

Um, that means MORE indictments, most likely.

I bet you are far from disappointed now, eh?

Nor even the beginning of the end. It isn't even the end of the beginning. It's just the beginning. :)

All this showdown talk and it fizzled out, I think he is missing in his explanation.

of the silly gleeful predictions by radio personalities, etc. It is ominous in that it reminds me more of the Iran Contra investigations where plainly a bigger fish, and unwilling fall guy, Weinberger, was caught with his notes, and simply waited for his obligatory pardon.

Libby might actually be persuaded to take jail time- temporarily, IF the cover-up in which they all played the same cards, continues to shield those more responsible.

I suppose I will remain grim after so many trips to the easy victory well
coming up dry. Excitement without the due consequences. Yet they nailed a dem president at will for an affair.

The system is SUPPOSED to work this way and much better, not as a miracle, especially an incomplete one. Actual consequences are still poised to slip away from this criminal administration,leaving all the excited people slowly losing steam in the background. Relentless pressure on ALL fronts must be applied or maintained. The same general miasma that kept this balloon from popping for so long can still act as a dull sealant, ugly and marred as it must be, to keep the GOP assault on America intact.

And we know, cowards though they are, they must do what that have to do to survive and thrive. Any relaxation of attack will end up making this disease worse. Where are the consequences? Is the future secure? I am not celebrating yet. This is perhaps a D-Day, not V-B Bay moment, but the beachhead is not yet secure.

Look back into history and see what you find. This is a great day. One of the top six idiots had to resign in disgrace today...How far into Syria and Iran do you think the neo cons will get now?

Libby can face 30 yrs. jail time or turn State’s Evidence and tell the truth.

Tough spot, Libby. Tough spot.

Whatcha’ gonna’ do? Hmmmmmmmm?

This is just the prelude. Fitz isn't done yet.

I'd say he turns over in less that 85 days!
