| Plame to testify |
Itsdb |
03/09/07 |
We've spent millions of dollars to get Rove/Cheney/Bush in an investigation with no conspiracy, no coverup, no administration leak, no charges filed, and now Plame is going to testify before a congressional panel on how the White House handled the disclosure of her 'secret' identity as a 'covert' agent.
Why in God's name do we need a congressional investigation now? Will they wonder why we wasted that much time, money and reputations on an investigation in which the prosecutor knew 3 months ahead of time the 'leaker' was a fierce bureaucratic opponent of the White House? Or why the judge refused to allow evidence of "the fallibility of the witness whose testimony was most decisive," namely Russert's statement "under oath that he did not know that one may not be accompanied by a lawyer to a grand jury hearing."
The defense had tapes showing Russert saying on television three times that lawyers are barred from grand jury proceedings.
What important light is Plame going to shed on this event? I'm betting her "victimhood" will be played out for every ounce of sympathy that can be mustered. Shouldn't this whole affair be put rest now? |

Still she left some people off the law suit ... Ari Fleicher ,Bob Novak ,Andrea Mitchell ,and especially Joe Wilson .....all had a part in her outing . Clarification/Follow-up by Itsdb on 03/10/07 2:00 pm:
Good point, especially the part about Wilson - would be a shame to see him rewarded for helping 'ruin' his wife's career.
