BREAKING: FITZGERALD PRESENTS EVIDENCE TO NEW GRAND JURY

http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/12/07/cialeak.ap/

<snip>
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Six weeks after White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was indicted in the CIA leak case, special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald was back at work Wednesday before another grand jury in the drawn-out federal probe.

Fitzgerald, accompanied by several deputies seen carrying files as they walked into the grand jury area of the courthouse, made no comment to reporters about the nature of his visit.

In the last grand jury activity in the probe, a month ago, Libby, a top aide to Vice President Dick Cheney, was indicted on five counts of perjury, obstruction of justice and lying to the FBI. Libby has pleaded not guilty.

President Bush's top political adviser, deputy White House chief of staff Karl Rove, remains under investigation.

:popcorn:

Evidently, there was so much evidence brought into the courtroom that it took several deputies to carry the boxes...

Nice.

Why didn't we have media cover of that? I guess it's not as important as a stained dress?

Here's hoping for another MIRACLE!!!! Go Fitzie, go!!!

Peace.

Democracy on the march.

:patriot:

Maybe "Fitzmas" really will be close to Christmas!

Drop the bomb right before XMas when everyone is distracted ?

The indictments will come when he has presented his rock solid case. It's unlikely that they will come before "The Holidays" but who knows. Oh yeah, Fitz knows. The Grand Jury knows. We do not know.

At least Starr gave us regular and lurid press conferences. :sarcasm:

Let's keep this thead where everyone can see: up top and out front.

And here's to hearing more soon. :toast: This may be a truly Merry Fitzmas.:party: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Nothing like an indictment as a combo birthday and XMas gift.

I hope it's on Christmas so we can get the New Year started off right!

does that help?

otherwise a good scream is a great purge for negativity. I prefer it over barfing cuz, well just cuz. :hi:

:rofl:

Somehow, I just don't think he and Karl Rove will be exchanging gifts this year...

:evilgrin:

Julie

As Princess Leah said, he's our only hope.

The folks who just brought the suit against Diebold are others. Also, if we manage to get the electorate to bring back a Dem majority in the House and Senate, that will be another great hope.

I can't wait. :)

From the end of the article:

"The Libby legal team cheered Woodward's testimony, calling it "a bombshell" and contending that it undercut Fitzgerald's case that Libby was the first official known to have talked about Plame and her CIA status with a reporter."

Uh, if the Washington Post did more responsible reporting, they should've added, of course the indictment against Libby has nothing to do with whether he was the first, that he's indicted on charges of perjury, which is pretty airtight, etc.--but of course, they do not, letting the talking points give the final judgement to the audience. A little indirect irresponsibility of our mainstream media.

they have a more detailed and less biased account.

sold out and painted up like a Watergate tart, with Woodward wearing high heels and a wig.

being apart of it? Boy people surely didn't pay attention to his press conference and/or to what he was even indicted for. Some lawyers he has!!

It will do them no good.

People might be lulled in to false complacency, until the next press conference from Fitzgerald announcing more indictments. :)

Then proverbial egg will be on the Post's face. They are a mouthpiece for Woodword these days.

There's no such thing as a "He did it first!" defense.

some say differently

that deeply red herring that libbys lawyer and the press keep serving should be quite moldy by now
apparently not

:popcorn:
Oh, it's a beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!

my true love said to me
First we got Libby
Next we got Rove
Soon a Bush and a Chey yey yey neyyyyyyyy

:popcorn:

meaning he's going to be fired or will withdraw...either way, it means he found out rove lied & is therefore going down.

dg

I love you.

:bounce:

I hope my honey gets a good present for his birthday next week. :)

There was speculation it would help Scooter, but as Jeffrey Toobin noted, the prosecutor wouldn't bother putting her before the grand jury if she had exculpatory (? spelling) evidence.

I want the whole dang neoconster mob to be taken down!!!

"Why doesn't Justice shut this guy down? He has clearly concluded their was not underlying crime. They should just reassign him."

Dumbass peckerheads! Fitz never said that!!!!!!!!!!! :rofl: :rofl:

I feel so dirty for going over to the dark side, but it was worth it to see their heads exploding! The freepers are going ballistic!

...and Chalabi was *'s boy, right ? Wouldn't want Fitz to get ahold of that now, would we. After all Treason by Chalabi aided and abetted by, oh, the thought of it is just too painful...our neocon leadership...

likely he was in on the Rome crowd's schemes--Ladeen and Ghorbanifar and that lot (he had close ties to them)--and, if they were doing what I think they were doing (not just forging nuke documents, but procuring nukes to be planted in Iraq to be "found" by Judith Miller), then double (or is it triple?) agent Chalabi might have had a grudge against Valerie Plame (if she or her network were the ones who foiled it). And here we have the president good buds with the perps and outing the undercover cop. Tsk. Tsk. That is ba-a-a-ad.

about this ?

Yep, it's beginning to look a lot like Fitzmas. :rofl: :rofl:

:puke:

Patrick Lang of the DIA spoke about the 'good work' Chalabi and Iranian intelligence did...if that's not treason I don't know what is. And Bush & Co. were sponsoring this guy. Hmmm.

If Fitz isn't investigating, maybe a Dem House in '06 will request some investigating. At a minimum.

My heart skips a beat whenever I see your posts.:)

it is suggested to check the front page of GD before you post an article to see if someone already has. In this case there were already two posts with links to the exact story, and it certainly wasn't "breaking" because the article had been on CNN since 9:43 this morning, and there were already two threads going on it.

I wouldn't comment except for the fact when i read the "breaking" headline I also jumped up as if there was something new.

peace

Can we open our presents now? Canwecanwecanwe? Pleeeeeeeeease?

And the loser is...... ??????

I KNOW - I spent over a year researching the entire Plame Outing and created a 2 DVD set film called "Rove's War" that is the Definitive Chronology of PlameGate.. including the Downing Street Minutes Hearing I flew to DC to film in High Definition, the Waxman Hearing with ex CIA agents, Marcinkowski (he spoke in Detroit as well at the DSM House Parties), Johnson (who VOTED for Bush, but is sickened by all this), a dash of The Daily Show and funny graphics to liven it all up..

It's all there, if you want to see the 12 minute preview you can go to http://www.takebackthemedia.com and watch it - even wrote and performed a cover song for the credits called "Secret Agent Plame" based on the oldie but goodie "Secret Agent Man" with new lyrics - a few weeks ago I emailed the song to Randi Rhodes and she SANG it TWICE on her SHOW, I was on the floor laughing, it was so much fun..

SOmething to remember. BEFORE Ashcroft recused himself (since he was one of Rove's Customers), and took a lot of time doing it, Rove was interviewed BY THE FBI.. during that period Rove of course thought he was GOD, indestructible, arrogant, lying.. from what I understand from my research on this, Rove LIED TO THE FBI.. and of course these documents are STILL available to Fitzgerald, I believe that the FBI Investigation is what will in the end be used to Indict Rove..

Here are the "Secret Agent Plame" lyrics

SECRET AGENT PLAME

There's a gal who led a life of danger
Everyone she met she stayed a stranger
With every move she makes, another story breaks
Odds are her old pals won't see her tomorrow

Secret agent Plame, secret agent Plame,
Rove took away your number and gave away your name

Beware of yellow cake that you can't find, gal
The news'll drag your name right through a minefield
Not caring what they'd say
The White House gave you away
Odds are Bush's pals will get a medal,

Secret agent Plame, secret agent Plame
Rove took away your number and gave away your name



Spying on the Saudi Arabs one day
Being in the paper's headlines next day
Oh Karl let the wrong word slip
And Bob Novak had loose lips
Traitors in the White House can't be fired,

Secret agent Plame, secret agent Plame
Rove took away your number and gave away your name

**************

And a Merry FITZMAS & Treason's Greetings to One and ALL :)

clear, deep voice. The words are hard to hear.

Some of us just haven't gotten off our asses yet.

Regarding the tune- I think a straight acoustic version would work. I actually think you overengineered the tune. Whatever. Just my opinion. What do I know. I'm a trumpet player.

Thanks for all of your hard work guys.

and I was drunk, and my wife had left me and the dog had died and the barn burned down.. wait a minute, that would be a country song..

Nevermind.. :) -- I'm no singer, but at least I tried, and that's something I thought would be a lot more fun than canned music at the end for credits, I guess I pulled the voice down and used too much reverb because like most people I don't like hearing MY Own Voice :)

Appreciate that you like the FILM, because THAT is where all the hard work is - I wanted to make sure there was a solid chronology in film out there, it's a lot more vital and seems to stick more in the mind...

Thanks for your support!

for Fitzmas.

Man what I wouldn't give to just sit there and wade through what they have in that office! Great idea, I thought of it, but thought if I did it I'd look like an egotistical idiot compared to what he knows, but if someone else sends him one, you never know, might just be One thing or angle in there he might not have considered..

But I still want to read everything he has on these guys.. I've love to do a two hour interview with HIM..

:popcorn:

...let me add this interesting little tidbit from Josh Marshall:

LOL...I bet that is a lot of pressure! I doubt Rove is much of a happy camper right about now.

Recommended!

calling Christmas, Fitzmas, thus ending the Christmas controversy.

Cross your fingers lads and lasses that we get Rove.
