Plamegate is a house of cards
Advertisements [?]
Little did these Neocon criminals think that they would ever be caught? After all they successfully snockered the Congress and the American people, and had the media in the bag to peddle their propaganda, so what if they fucked up and outed a covert CIA agent. After all this was just a minor criminal act, compared to the many big ones they committed and had previously gotten away with.

What they didn't quite count on is the backlash from the CIA. The spooks can take alot of shit and even muzzle up under threats, but when you out one of their NOC's it means war. They weren't gonna take this one lying down. So they made damn well sure that this got bucked up to the Justice Department, and also made sure that Asscrap recused himself. Second in command, James Comey, no Bushco lackey, knew this was big and brought in the big gun - Fitzy.

The rest is a bit of speculation on my part, but I believe is plausible. Fitzy knows early on that the outing of Plame was more than hardball politics. He knows this because he is being fed alot of inside information from the CIA who know damned well what Plame and Brewster Jennings were all about. He also knows that this covert operation was getting in the way of the Neocon Cheney Cabal's efforts at arms trafficking and drug money running channeled through the Middle East. They also knew that Plame and Company were onto their phony Iraq WMD claims and were likely to expose this sham in due course. Bottom line they had to be eliminated. The best way to do this was to out Plame, blow the cover off Brewster Jennings and let everyone think it was hardball retaliation for Wilson's Op Ed piece debunking the Niger uranium sale to Iraq. How convenient - they get two for the price of one.

So where will this all lead. Again my speculation is that Fitzy knows to follow the trail of illicit money. Because it is always about greed, and money. So he goes back to the justification for the war in Iraq. Why was it so important that we take out Saddam? In doing so he falls into a nest of illegal arms dealing, drug money laundering, murder, torture, bribery, etc. The whole enchilada. He probably thought he was getting into something big, but never imagined he would run head long into the Bush-Cheney Crime Family, the granddaddy of mob operations. Yes, Fitzgerald had plenty of experience taking down major mobsters like Joseph Gambino, but this was an octopus with crime tentacles everywhere.

I don't believe that the impending indictments are anything but the second phase of a multiphase investigation that still has lots of legs. Who knows where it will lead, but I speculate when it is done, the outing of a CIA covert agent will ultimately bring down the entire house of cards and the scumbag roaches who have been hiding in it. Pray that it be so!!!!
