[pnwmom]

27. Fitz says no further charges are planned, the investigation

is "inactive."

Unless further facts are uncovered.

[GOTV]

36. But, does an "inactive" investigation uncover further facts? n/t

[blogslut]

6. ...

Tim Russert did not tell Mr. Libby

To tell investigators a lie, we could not walk away from that

[Catherine Vincent]

8. "It's not the verdict that justifies the charges, it's the facts!"

<------- :loveya:

[in_cog_ni_to]

9. "Libby told a story that he had heard about Plame from Russert, but we found that not to be true.

We could NOT walk away from that info." (paraphrased)

[blogslut]

10. At the end of the day

We could not walk away

[helderheid]

11. Good on him!

[Cameron27]

12. "We cannot tolerate perjury"

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. ANY LIE UNDER OATH IS SERIOUS.

[myrna minx]

17. "The truth is what drives out judicial system. " n/t

[myrna minx]

14. He's one of the Untouchables.

:loveya:

[blogslut]

15. Any lie under oath is serious

We have no hope if people lie during investigation.

Never acceptable

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. "Any high official lying under oath is UNACCEPTABLE. "

PLEASE go after CHENEY!!!!!!

[blogslut]

18. The press is pressing about Cheney

Pat is playing it cool. All rules apply, even to the Vice President.

[in_cog_ni_to]

19. "When people lie under oath it harms our legal system."

[Genealogist]

35. lie under oath

Doesn't that just kill you! ...duh...why do you think that Cheney did not testify!!! and in the 9-11 Commission hearings they wouldn't let Condi testify at all....until the public was outraged. Then, after time enough to bring her up to speed, then she was allowed to testify, along with Cheney and Bush - BUT none of them had to testify under oath....Yet Clinton and Gore DID tesify under oath. Grrrrrrr

[in_cog_ni_to]

49. It sure does kill me, but now the DEMOCRATS are in power and the rat bastards will be UNDER OATH.

If Congress chooses to do their job and investigate Cheney, Bush and KKKRove.

[blogslut]

20. Is the investigation over?

I do not expect to file further charges. We're all going back to our dayjobs. If something comes to light, we will act.

[crispini]

22. "This investigation is inactive"

I don't think he's going after Cheney.

[Connie_Corleone]

25. It's up to the Democrats in Congress to go after Cheney.

[Individualist]

28. That was my first thought

when Fitzgerald announced the investigation is inactive.

[leftchick]

29. lol!

that is pretty funny. In a sad way.

[Kolesar]

30. So will Congress be getting a big sheave of documents from Fitzgerald?

With pointers of where where to attack??

[in_cog_ni_to]

31. Cheney has already said he will not answer subpoenas from Congress.

What can they do beyond that? If Cheney refuses to testify, what then?

[EstimatedProphet]

34. Maybe a little stint in jail for contempt of Congress will loosen him up

[in_cog_ni_to]

39. Isn't there a signing statement for that?

:hi:

Signing statement = "If the President or Vice President break the law, it's OK. We don't have to answer to Congress or the American people because we are THE PRESIDENT and VICE PRESIDENT.. We can ignore the Judiciary too."

[in_cog_ni_to]

23. Waiting for Libby to spill his guts?

[Nickster]

43. That's what I'm thinking. Backroom sentencing deal wrangling. Get what you can out of

Libby before he's sentenced.

[in_cog_ni_to]

46. before he's sentenced or commits suicide by shooting himself in the back of the head.

Either way...he needs to talk.

[Nickster]

47. Or falls out of his lawyer's office window...... n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

48. That too...we're on the same page.

:7

[Monkeyman]

21. Now you know why Replugs in IL fear him

[chelsea0011]

24. Unlike Starr, he knows when it is time to make an investigation

inactive. Starr spent years running up a tab. And inactive doesn't mean closed.

[Annces]

26. I sure am glad he is the prosecutor

He is not equivocal on anything.

[blitzen]

32. Fitz: Cheney passed along official info

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

44. That's because Fitz believes that Shrub can pass on the power of declassifying to Darth Cheney.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......

[LSK]

33. "no doubt her status with the CIA was classified, thats a fact"

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

45. Then how can't he get Cheney on passing that on to Libby to leak? So confused here.

They have testimony of Libby leaking it and why can't the get him or even Rove?

[GOTV]

37. Personally, if Libby is all we get, I don't know if it was worth it.

He wasn't even convicted of the outing. Basically, who ever is responsible, they got away with it.

[blogslut]

38. Oh, it's worth it

This kills the credibility of the Bush administration. It makes Cheney look worse than ever. It is solid affirmation that they need to go.

[GOTV]

40. I'll be surprised if any evidence supporting that statement con be found...

... over the coming month or years.

I don't believe anyone who doesn't already dislike Bush/Cheney will be swayed by a perjury conviction of a person who is not Bush or Cheney. Bush and the corporate media will easily dump all blame on Scooter.

The fact that the prosecution stopped there will be all the proof necessary to declare the Bush admin innocent. The media will sell it and the remaining Bush supporters will buy it.

Watch it happen.

[blogslut]

41. okay

:)
