My new indictment prediction: Wednesday, October 19 @ 8:45 AM EDT

[Walt Starr]

Yep, this Wednesday. That's my new prediction, with multiple Administration officials being indicted on multiple charges, probably even Cheney. Treason is a potential charge, although Espionage is the most likely highest charge.

And as a bonus prediction: Bush WILL be named an unindicted co-conspirator.

:popcorn:

This is gettin' good!

:evilgrin:

[texpatriot2004]

1. I am watching.

:popcorn:

[writes2000]

2. Walt, I have spent this weekend lowering my expectations.

I'll be thrilled if Rove & Libby are indicted with perjury and obstruction.

Please tell me...how good are your predictions?

[Pachamama]

3. Wednesday or Thursday.....

I think your close.....

And I think your right about it being multiple higher ups in the W-house and even Cheney and Bush being in the mix....

My only concern is I keep thinking what is this cabal of crooks going to do to "distract"?

:eyes:

[rosesaylavee]

7. Distraction is what they are good at...

most likely another terra alert is in our future.

[kath]

15. Terra alert might not do it. But a terra attack, on the other hand...

[CatWoman]

4. why Wednesday?

what's your reasoning behind that particular day?

[Bumblebee]

8. probably because it's the next time the GJ meets...

[Proud_Lefty]

5. I keep hearing 22 indictments

just for starters. Then indictment after indictment will start snowballing at an incredibly fast rate. God, I hope this is true. If it is, the Freepers can't ignore their criminal idols any longer.

[tulsakatz]

25. I hope you're right!!

I would love to see that!! I'm trying not to be too hopeful but I really don't see any way that Rove and Libby will be able to escape some kind of punishment. Of course, we all know they'll probably get Presidential pardons but at least they'll be branded as the criminals they are!

[riderinthestorm]

27. The Freepers will dismiss this as a lefty witchhunt.

I'm going to bet they will spin this as a "revenge" move on the part of the liberals for the Clinton impeachment. I don't think the Freepers, especially the hardcore ones, will believe a word of these indictments. Too much cognitive dissonance for the truly brain-washed and I don't have enough faith that the Freepers will be able to break out of their conditioning....

Remember, for the Freepers, they have been believing in Bush and this Admin for more than the 5 years they've been in office - they have the whole history of the campaign before that. Most of them have had at least 6+ years of that constant brainwashing PLUS they also have been hard-wired to believe that any criticism of the CIC amounts to hating America and being unpatriotic.

I know, I know, it makes no sense since the GJ and Fitzgerald are outside the "liberal witchhunting cabal" but I believe this will be their defense.

[Kazak]

32. Yeah, so...

All their dismissing will be quie irrelevant. :thumbsup:

[leanin_green]

39. Well, if it smells like a rat, then. . .

[JoMama49]

47. i heard a freeper accuse the GJ and Fitzgerald of "criminalizing politics"

Now isn't that a case of "projection" if you ever heard one?

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. I just hope I have enough time in advance to order my party platter.

[PearliePoo2]

9. Yes!

Like I said on another post........
This may well be one of those moments that defines our history.
Those moments that we all remember where we were and what we were doing.
Where were you when........?
(JFK shot, Man on the moon, Nixon resigns, Space Shuttle disaster,
9/11 etc.
We have been waiting two years for this.
I want to believe that justice will be done.

[Lubernaut]

10. Trying to remain cautiously optimistic.

I have high hopes, but I know these creeps are darn good at covering their asses.

[MasonJar]

11. There have been so many outrages and I have had my hopes

up so often that I find it hard to even hope these criminals will ever face punishment short of Judgement Day. I pray y'all are right this time.

[colbushwhacker_2000]

12. Sounds good to me !

[countingbluecars]

13. I so hope you are right.

I have that anxious, sick feeling. What if they get away with it again?

[Seabiscuit]

19. Whatever Fitzgeral decides will be the defining moment of his life.

Either he stands up for principle and the rule of law over the rule of men and indicts them all, or he folds his hand spinelessly under pressure from these neocon criminals.

[cassiepriam]

50. And ours!

[Carni]

14. I'm deliberately not getting my hopes up

I am the type person who doesn't pay attention to sports because I SWEAR I jinx my team when I do.

I have tried really hard not to get all excited about this situation because I have been so *positive* that the whole house of cards was going down (SOOOOOO MANY TIMES) previously.

But if that illusive fat lady should sing on Wednesday...I will be one very happy camper.

[Binka]

21. This Troop Of Narcissistic Fucktards Is Going Down

After seeing my son blown to shit by this illegal and immoral war I now have hope that this band of greedy bastards are finished.

Stick a fork in them. Done. Really they are done.

And if they think they will rise again Ben will crawl out of his hospital bed, compound fracture to his femur, and multiple open wounds and kick their asses!

[Carni]

49. I just read the other string about your son

I am very sorry he and you are going through all of this because of the crimes of these murdering liars.

As to these assholes going down, I really pray that you are right.

This country cannot sustain another three years of these shitheads.

[Binka]

51. Thanks Honey

These Fuckwittages MUST be stopped. NOW!

[longship]

16. If Wednesday, it'll be later in the day.

IMHO.

My guess is Friday afternoon 21 Oct.

Other than that, I would guess along the same lines as you.

Specifics.

Condi and Crashcart may be the two biggies.
Rove/Libby both indicted.
Fleischer will be indicted for his part.

People from WHIG will be indicted other than Rove/Libby. Maybe mealy-mouthed liars Matalin and Hughes.

Somebody talked and will have been given immunity. Fleischer?

Big-time conspiracy charges. West Wing will be in shambles when this thing is over. WH will be in turmoil.

[tulsakatz]

17. I think it will be Friday, 10/21

and it will probably be for perjury and possibly conspiracy Rove and Libby

[prescole]

18. Remember that sick feeling in the pit of your stomach

when you were a kid and you had done something wrong?
Rove and Libby have that feeling right now, just waiting for the spanking they so richly deserve. They're sitting in their respective townhouses, trying to avoid the web and cable news, hoping their respective bosses won't call them onto the carpet tomorrow morning.
Frog march, frog march, left right, left right frog march.

btw, the West Wing just revealed its leaker...

[AndyTiedye]

35. I Have a Sick Feeling They'll Do Something Really Awful To Head it Off

The regime was being investigated just before 9/11, as very few people will recall.
There were questions about the election, and the "Energy Task Force".
Then

what investigation?

[Neecy]

20. ...a little known fact --

The Cox/Jaworski grand jury named Richard Nixon an unindicted co-conspirator long before he resigned.

[BlueStateBlue]

48. How long before?

[Independent_Liberal]

22. I like your prediction.

I like many of the predictions people around here have. I just don't like it when people get, shall I say, overly pessimistic (the opposite of overly optimistic). Ha!

:)

[understandinglife]

23. Tomorrow, Monday, October 17, 2005.

They've been working all weekend and the only question I have is if they wait for the markets to close, tomorrow .... :evilgrin:



Peace.

[writes2000]

28. Friendly question: How do you know they've been working all weekend?

Or is that a gut feeling you have, UL?

[understandinglife]

46. 'gut feeling' ...

... based on the reality of the severity of the situation which is not a 'gut feeling' but something Judge Tatel and his colleagues were already convinced in Feb of this year.


Peace.

[Just Me]

24. Aw, c'mon Walt!!! Let's walk through all the counts, too!!!

:7

Conspiracy - multiple counts

Obstruction - multiple counts

Perjury - multiple counts

Dissemination of classified docs - potentially multiple counts

Revealing identity of a NOC - potentially multiple counts

Revealing identity of a Nat'l Sec Op - potentially multiple counts

Fraud - potentially multiple counts

Treason - :shrug: it's what they did,...but, :shrug:

Et al. (RICO, embezzlement, witness tampering, etc.) - multiple counts


YUP YUP YUP!!! :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

,......bbrrrriiinnnggg IT ONNNNNNN!!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

:woohoo:
:woohoo:
:woohoo:

[AndyTiedye]

36. Espionage Act

You forgot the Espionage Act. If they caused the deaths of any of Valerie Plame's agents, they could face the death penalty.
There has been much speculation that they might be charged under the Espionage Act.
They will do anything to prevent this.

[kestrel91316]

44. I like the RICO angle. Treat them like the organized crime family

they are.

But I also like the espionage and treason thing.

[NoBushSpokenHere]

26. I hope you are correct and these indictments come that soon!

Otherwise, I will need an increase in my eyeglass prescription! It is straining my eyes to read all the links to all the blogs with small font lol

[Kazak]

29. Our first born is due in about two weeks...

You don't know how happy it would make me if Bush were somehow NOT in office when this baby is born!

[lancdem]

30. Congratulations!

:hi:

[Kazak]

31. Hey, thanks!

:)

[indie_voter]

33. Congratulations!!

Do you know the gender or waiting to be surprised?

I found out with both of mine because I am impatient (this indictment watch is driving me nuts!!)

Children add a dimension to life I never dreamed possible.

All the best and easy labor thoughts to your partner!

[Kazak]

45. Not exactly, but...

We were at the hospital yesterday having a procedure done, and my wife and I both thought we saw a penis in the sonogram. We had been wanting to be surprised though, so no one has actually told us if this is true or not, but we feel pretty sure it's a boy.

Unfortunately, there are likely to be some complications if the baby doesn't turn; currently it's in a breech position. We have a wonderful OB who intends to attempt to do a vaginal breech birth (he's already done three of them this year!), but our likelyhood of having to have a C-section goes up considerably.

Thanks for your good thoughts. :)

[indie_voter]

52. My son was breech too

Are you going to attempt a version?

I went in for my version but they found out I had HELLP (severe pre-eclampsia) so I had to have an emergency c-section.

However, I was able to have a VBAC (vaginal birth after c-section) with my daughter.

Best of luck and I hope everything goes smoothly!!

[Kazak]

55. We did attempt a version, Saturday morning...

It was unsuccessful. :( We have a wonderful OB who is experience at doing vaginal breech births (he's done three already this year, all successful), and he's going to attempt one with us too. Of course, the likelihood of us having to have c-section goes up dramatically. Wouldn't be the end of the world though. Right now our biggest concern is getting a healthy normal baby that we know is "in there" "out here!" :)

[DemReadingDU]

34. Like that old 'Clue' game

I think Cheney did it, in the White House, by leaking the super secret memo.

[journalist3072]

37. I would love for your prediction to come true!!!

I am hoping you hit the nail on the head with your prediction!!

[Shine]

38. Hey, I don't know about the specific date, but I, too, feel this week

will be a big one for the American public.

The energy is building...EVERYone can feel it...

Shine

[NewJeffCT]

40. My guess - a couple of indictments for perjury

I'm not so positive. I think maybe one of Libby or Rove will get hit with perjury & then resign. And, probably somebody in the librul media.

Then, Libby or Rove will take a low profile job somewhere else in Washington and later quietly get pardoned some time after the '06 elections. Bush will justify it by saying it will be to undo the damage done by an out of control prosecutor.

[mattclearing]

41. I'm still sticking with this Thursday at 2pm. n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

42. Bookmarked and hoping you're right!

:popcorn:

[onenote]

43. my prediction: perjury, nothing more

Scooter and possibly Rove. Some questions raised about Cheney, but nothing solid enough to pursue and zip about Bush.

onenote

[garybeck]

53. IMPOSSIBLE

if Rove committed perjury, then he also illegally outed Plame. Can't have one without the other. The perjury charge will be from first claiming he was not involved. When he later changed his story he admitted he leaked, this opened him up to perjury AND the original crime of outing Plame. there is no way to have one without the other.

[garybeck]

54. prediction: more waiting, Grand Jury extension n/t

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

56. Actually, I'm hoping for Thursday, October 20th.

That's the 22nd anniversary of the infamous "Saturday Night Massacres" of Watergate fame and my 52nd birthday.

It would make my day to see KKKarl and Scooter do the "perp walk" Thursday...
