It's hit MSM! Matthews discussed "broader" investigation, forged Ital.docs

[Wordie]

He did extensive coverage on the possibility of Fitzgerald looking at criminal charges in relation to faulty reasons for going to war! Not just the outing of Valerie Plame.

MY GOD! I can hardly believe this!

Edited for grammar.

[babylonsister]

1. And the wh is already considering who might be able

to fill 'empty' shoes should indictments come down. That's the first time I heard that!

[grannylib]

2. Does MSNBC replay Tweety later in the evening?? I just got home

from work and am not near the idiot box...

[Wordie]

3. I think so...it may depend on your local carrier though.

18. Video of David Shuster report from Hardball here -- it is dynamite:

4. What's Italian for

"I'm keeping MY job as leader of my country, Georgie! I'm in enough trouble as it is, and though Tony Blair stuck out his neck to save yours, I'll be damned going to do the same!"

:headbang:

[Rosco T.]

9. same as what "innuendo" means....

innuendo - "I an no gonna takes a buttafuck for you...."

[JDPriestly]

5. Let's see. Gannon replaces Mehlman.

Mehlman replaces Rove. Hughes replaces Condi. Condi replaces Cheney.

[Somawas]

12. Nah. Gannon replaces Scottie McClellan. nt

[Wordie]

13. KO was actually discussing investigation going HIGHER than Rove & Libby!

[Mme. Defarge]

6. Signs and portents ...

Does this herald an end to the Dark Ages and the beginning of the Age of Indictenment?

[joemurphy]

7. Interesting...The Italian investigation concluded that Chalabi's

people were responsible for the forged documents...Thank you Dick Cheney and Richard Perle for placing such reliance on Chalabi...

Assholes!

[Wordie]

8. But who knows, at this point, what Fitzgerald will conclude.

He presumably has access to way more information.

I just can't believe this! This is the biggest political thing that has happened in my lifetime. Bigger than Watergate!

[hvn_nbr_2]

10. Bigger than Watergate

Bigger than Watergate, Teapot Dome, and Iran/Contra all combined. And yet hardly anybody in the general public has more than a clue what's happening. One of these days, they're all going to be saying "Huh? WTF just happened? Where's Clinton's penis?"

[Wordie]

11. I've been posting this stuff here & there...people are just in denial

most of them, at least.

This is EARTHSHATTERING, and all it gets is this sort of ho-hum response. (Although there do seem to be some who get it.)

[hvn_nbr_2]

14. I think it's more the MSM than the sheeple's denial.

You have to search for info about this whole thing. Well, the last week or so, MSM talks about it some, but they still act like it's only Rove and Libby.

[Wordie]

15. That's the amazing thing...some msm are talking about more than Plamegate

Tweety actually was talking about larger international implications and the forged Niger uranium documents, and how the scope of the investigation was now thought to be way beyond the outing of Valerie Plame.

KO actually was talking about how the investigation might go higher than Rove and Libby, and who is higher than Rove and Libby?

So, only this afternoon, it appears there has been a HUGE change. Maybe it's the Fitzgerald website that went up. Everyone is saying that it means that there really are going to be charges.

[hvn_nbr_2]

16. Yeah, people have mentioned Tweety saying stuff like that a couple times

I still can't stand to watch so I don't.

[onenote]

21. did watergate happen in your lifetime?

Cause there is no way that this is going to turn out bigger than Watergate. Watergate resulted in the President resigning. That isn't gonna happen here.

[Wordie]

22. I remember finding the article buried at the back of the paper, and I got

all excited and KNEW there was more to it. My friends (even very liberal ones) didn't really think it was that important. At least at first...

So, I get the same feeling here. I think Plame is only the tip of a very-much-bigger iceberg. And, it's gonna be bigger than Watergate, imho.

[jefferson_dem]

17. I like it! What particular criminal charges could be brought? "Fraud"?

n/t

[Wordie]

24. I don't have the legal background to know...but Fitzgerald is said to be

very smart in this regard! (Crossing fingers)

[GetTheRightVote]

19. I have been telling my kids for days this is bigger then Watergate

I want them to know they must defend this nation after I am gone.
Their grandmother can not believe she can have a discussion with them over what is happening in our nation today. Raise your children right, spoon feed them politics.

:kick:

[onenote]

20. How would the WMD lies give rise to criminal charges?

Like it or not, its not illegal for a government to lie to its people. In theory, Fitz could go after admin officials that lied under oath in Congressional hearings, but there is zero chance of him stepping on Congress' turf in that way. So it would have to be perjury before the GJ... likely source of indictments with respect to the Plame outing, but not about anything else, IMHO.

23. Who knows what Fitzgerald might have up his sleeve... eom
