used that word.

[rodeodance]

[VolcanoJen]

That's right.

I'm actually pretty pissed about that, and a little underwhelmed with the Libby-Only indictment.

11. Conducted related to behavior during course of investigation

They're still working on the "outer"

Rove? Cheney?

[MellowOne]

13. It's a beginning

But we need much much more.

[tx_dem41]

50. I agree. This is not a clincher at all. n/t

[spooky3]

15. CBS special report now--Rove is not "off the hook"

[spooky3]

24. Borger: GJ may be held over several weeks

also "Libby known as Cheney alter-ego"...indictments "could be quite damaging to WH"

[spooky3]

31. CBS analyst: "makes it almost certain Cheney will have to testify"

23. Is that all? n/t

[Lone_Star_Dem]

29. 5 Counts against him not enough?

This is a horrible day for the bush* admin... the best part is, it's just the beginning. :D

[NYC Liberal]

Libby is even HIGHER UP than Rove.

This is big...Cheney's RIGHT-HAND MAN is going down.

[garybeck]

21. What? HOW ABOUT LEAKING THE IDENTITY OF A CIA AGENT?

i'm lost. there must be more going on than we know, or this whole thing is just being whitewashed.

[rodeodance]

25. no clue to that question!!

[rodeodance]

28. saying Libby learned name from VP Cheney!!

[burythehatchet]

30. The bigger fish are next...be patient

the entire cabal is going down. We wont see them again until the next Republican admin when felons will once again be in charge.

[tnlefty]

60. Alright you! Part of me is laughing at this quick, clever dark

humor and part of me wants to cry because it'll probably happen. The American people seem to have VERY short memories and allow the repugs to just keep recycling their criminals. Sigh.

[FizzFuzz]

58. It's the Opening Act. There's more.

This is sort of a place holder, I don't believe that it was at any time Fitz's intent to leave this at one.

He knows, as do we all, how big and how filthy these thugs are.

[mvd]

26. Merry Fitzmas, everyone!

Now THESE are serious charges. Rove is next, then Cheney! Possibly Bush! :bounce:

[rodeodance]

34. but I wanted the big presents--cheney and bush on a dish!

[mvd]

42. Very important that it looks like the investigation is continuing.

That means that this is only the beginning!

[Pithy Cherub]

46. Fitzgerald is marinating Bush & Cheney, sloooowly.

Very slowly and that is actually mentally and physically much worse. Enjoy. Libby's indictments name Cheney directly. :popcorn: Enjoy Fitzmas!

[MissMarple]

56. Don't be greedy, dear. There are twelve days of Christmas.

Meanwhile, the naughty children will be shaking in their beds. ;)

[Fleshdancer]

27. 5 counts!!?! He totally screwed himself.

I didn't think the counts would be this high. wow.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

33. Honestly, neither did I.

I almost fell out when I heard it. :D

[Pithy Cherub]

36. Libby indicted heavily, to urge him to flip on Cheney.

It's official Cheney was the one who told Libby. And impeding an investigation, who would Libby be will ing to protect that much hmmm.

Oh, this is just getting so good! :popcorn:

[rodeodance]

45. but it was legal--they both had top clearance--what else was said between

these two is what is important now.

[Pithy Cherub]

First you prove access, then motive and the biggie intent

will bring this house a cards down. Fitzgerald is not done and this is going to be epic licke and watergate like in length and scope. Then congress is FORCED to weigh in and oh boy is this going to be good! :popcorn:

[cloud75]

37. "Libby facing up to 25 years in Jail" Fox News Commentator.

[halobeam]

40. Sorry, but that makes me gleeful

nah....not sorry...

[nadinbrzezinski]

38. and this is the begining

[janx]

43. EXACTLY. n/t

[bluedawg12]

41. endangering national security- that sounds big n/t

[wtmusic]

44. Aspens are connected at the roots

keep on digging.

[rodeodance]

47. 'no substantive charges'--per legal analyist on cnn

[rodeodance]

52. Jeff Greenfield says a trial is most likely involving witnesses-VP, Russer

t, Judy, the whole gang.

[cloud75]

48. will Libby plead guilty to avoid media circus? (during trial)

[halobeam]

51. Trial is worse for WH.... what do you think?

I think he might plead. Fox said he could get 25 years. That would be an awful lot to plead to. Hmmmm all will unfold, it's going to take time.

[DoYouEverWonder]

49. Lied to the grand jury at least 5 times

caused them to go in the wrong direction with the investigation. Scooter is so screwed. Yippee!

[SharonRB]

53. Merry Fitzmas and Happy Fitznukah, everyone

Al Franken just announced the indictments, too.

[rodeodance]

55. Chat abound chenny chatting in May 2003, Wilson wrote art. in June, 2003

Jeff Greenfield speaking.


the activity happened before Joe wrote the article.

[Evergreen Emerald]

54. It must be very difficult to investigate the Plame matter ...

...when everybody is committing perjury, making false statements and obstructing the investigation.

The Neo-cons are going to have a hard time arguing that these are not serious charges without Clinton's name coming up.

[rodeodance]

57. saying this indictment illustrates that WH was conjuring up how to destroy

Joe Wilson. (my words paraphased).

[spooky3]

59. CBS breaking in again--Schieffer: Libby resigned
