Okay geniuses. What’s your theory of what’s gonna happen next?
Update [2005-10-28 18:12:29 by BooMan]: I think Susan and Catnip are wiped out and napping. This whole thing is exhausting.
Update [2005-10-28 19:48:6 by susanhu]: The cubicle people were worried about not hearing Fitzgerald. C-SPAN has the video up, in the middle of the home page. Also, C-SPAN TV will reair Fitzgerald’s press conference at 8:46pm PT. The case will be the subject of call-in shows Sat. morning.
I was so impressed with his demeanor today. He does not hint. He does not smear. He makes no comment whatsoever about anyone not indicted, and he comments that Libby is innocent until proven guilty. He reveres GJ secrecy. He is serious, calm, and unflurried.
A more unlikely portrait of a man on a partisan witch hunt would be hard to find.
Not that they won’t try to smear him. It just won’t work, except with the crazed base.
That’s my prediction.
ok who is sexier?
patrick fitzgerald or antonio banderas?
i swear today it was a toss up
He’s MINE! Well, actually, I think my daughter wants him.
P.S. Antonio does zilch for me.
P.P.S. If you have any interesting fantasies, don’t be shy now!. (Ducks.)
I swear that Bostonjoe looks like a blonde Fitz! We have sexy right under our noses here.
boston joe looks like cheney
that could be sexy too if he only had a personality transplant
fitz isnt really my physical type but i can overlook all that because of that attitude…you know he wont take any shit…and he is doing whats right…like dean 2 years ago….not afraid to call bullshit…he has balls and they lean to the left…i like that in a man.
and fitz is single.
and just in case….i date gay men all the time.
i want him
Here is a thought. I know it probably won’t be popular here, or even with me, but I’ll try.
Let’s follow this really decent guy’s advice. Let us anti-war folks not place our hopes on him. Let’s work policitally as best we can. Let’s work as activists as best we can. And let’s wait for him to give us the case, whereever the facts and law lead.
Have a No Boo Speculation Rule, in honor of our really cool super prosecutor.
Come on Joe! That’s like saying that while I’m allowed to operate my Detroit Lions’ merchandise store, I’m not allowed to speculate on if they’re going to beat the dastardly Bears this weekend.
There’s a difference between speculation and hoping for an outcome. Let’s get on with the speculatin’!
Them’s fightin’ words. GO BEARS! How can you not root for the team from a state that has Durbin and Obama as Senators?
You guys just got a World Series. Give Detroit a little morsel to snack on, will ya?
You may have the best Senators, but we have by far the hottest governor.
(did I just say that out loud?)
That’s Red Wings territory!! ACKKK
🙂
I said it with a smile 🙂
Or I could pull a Scotty and say
I will not talk about what I’ve already talked about not talking about because it’s already been talked about how we will not talk about… I smell something… I think my ass is on fire… anyways I will not talk about that. I won’t talk about things I said I would or would not talk about and I will not discuss any anal flares untill the said flares have been investigated.
that’s all I have to talk about.
🙂 that was me doing Scotty. NOt that I would “do” GAWD NO!!! that was my cyberpersonating him.
My son just told me today he goes for Alabama “Roll Tide”. A little brainwashing from his teacher and the school. Today was wear your team colors today for red ribbon week. Instead of Redwings though he said that he wanted to wear his dad’s shirt today from his ultimate frisbee team and he did.
Wednesday Wesley wore his Toronto Maple Leafs shirt… I locked him out of the house for the entire evening. 🙂
GO BEARS!
GO BEARS!!! Been saying that for fifty(cough cough) some years!! They did give us one Super Bowl and I for one will never forget that winning season. One of the sports highlights of this ol’ gals life!!

Absolutely Andrew! That was such a fun season. Remeber the silly Superbowl Shuffle? What a season. We had every newspaper article cut out, all the big headlines and pictures from the paper and we taped them up on the livingroom wall every week. We had a great superbowm party with the squares pools and door prizes. One prize was a cap that read “If you don’t love the Bears” and then you would flip the visor up and it said “Fuck Ya”. We were pretty rabid fans seeing we had craved a champion in Chicago for so long.
Sounds like we had the same interior decorator. I had one wall devoted to the headlines and stories about each game. I may still have all those cut-outs in a box in my closet somewhere. <chuckling>
I certainly agree with your overall take on Fitzgerald. My only real disappointment is that he didn’t push the “grey areas” on classified information. The facts are there for an indictment on passing classified information, and given the context that the facts lay out, I think substantive charges were justified.
My problem with today’s events is that it gives the Republicans a solid basis for claiming that the problem was one guy lying during the investigation, and that the “CIA Leak” case otherwise was a dud.
and unfortunately, we don’t believe that one either.
it ain’t over ’til it’s over. Now that the indictments against Libby for lying, who knows what will shake out during the course of the remainder of the investigation and trial.
are you trying to spike my new thread? LOL.
Nah. Sorry. See below.
did I miss another hopping frog today. We got another indicted Republican. That ain’t so bad.
Nah. I’ve thought about this ill-advised comment and believe that I was full of shit. I just love this Fitz guy. His call for anti-war folks to look elsewhere struck home.
But who the fuck am I to say we shouldn’t be having a party talking about the future indictments.
Withdrawn. Misfire. Strike that.
I’ve reconsidered too, and I think it would be kind of cool to be part of the only site where talking about voter fraud and 9/11 LIHOP theories is allowed, but speculation on where the Plame investigation is headed isn’t 😉
is more talking heads reciting Watergate cliches like “it’s the cover-up, not the crime” which Matthews said at least 16 times this afternoon. David Gergen even said that Libby was going to be left to “slowly twist in the wind.” teehee
What they mean is, it’s not the crime, it’s the extra crimes.
Go take Lou Dobb’s poll, asking if the investigation was worth it:
http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/lou.dobbs.tonight/
Everything points to a fairly quick end. Fitzgerald kept saying that a new grand jury can be used, and he refused to say a new one would be chosen, which may mean that there is already a grand jury chosen and ready to go. He may only have to present evidence of whatever charges he wants to make, not the whole case that the last grand jury looked at.
I didn’t hear anything in his press conference that indicated he was looking beyond the specific topic of the outing of Valerie Plame. He did choose to say that these charges were not about the war, indicating that he is not looking into the Niger forgery.
So what we can expect now is either Rove will be indicted or he won’t. There may be other indictments on lesser charges from people who cooperated. There is the possibility that there is one situation which is like the finger in the dike, and a lot more will come rushing out. But it may be that there isn’t much more to come from him.
jack o’lantern. That smirk ain’t gonna last, unless this sidewinding bushwhacker (from Yosemite Sam, folks) starts lying, too. Or stopping short about what he should be saying.
And for that matter, neither is Cheney, Bush or even Judy Miller done, although her days at the NYT are numbered. Russert is probably trying to make sure any scrap of connection with these toads isn’t going to back up on him. They tried to use him, just like Miller. But of course, he’ll still support these idiots like true believer Andrea Mitchell.
Who else do I think are in Fitz’s sights? Bolton.
You’ve got to prove conspiracy. You’ve also got to have substantive reasons why somebody like Libby would get so fucking obsessed over something like another opinion about the war. That’s what Fitz has got to prove, and so far, he’s getting nothing but a brick wall. He can guess, but he can’t make a guess into an indictment.
Also, three cheers for the D.C. grand juries. Both of them.
I had a neighbor in Hawaii who had several mongooses (mongeese?)on his farm property and these critters would act as though they were ignoring their prey until the moent they sprung.
I have a feeling Fitz is a mongoose and Rove, Bolton, maybe Miller and several others are prey being lulled into a false sense of security.
I think too that Fitz is something of a showman. He did a masterful job commanding the press conference while at the same time being thoughtful and provocative. I think this bodes well for more indictments down a relatively short road.
Lawyers are sometimes the best showmen…Flee Bailey, Johnnie Cochran, Clarence Darrow.
Next?
They focus on tying up loose ends on Libby, all the while digging deeper into Rove, cheney, et al.
Then we get to celebrate all over again!
This will be one of those rare cases where shit will actually roll UP HILL for a change. lol
There are just too many links in the little bit of info we previously knew, and add to that the info in the indictment that TPM pointed out.
This is going to get bigger and bigger every week. I will be surprised if Rove and Cheney aren’t already seriously considering resignation, and I would love to see who is already meeting with their Lawyers right now. (Bolton? lol)
This is just Fitzgerald showing only one card, and he still has a whole hand to play. I am betting that we will hear a lot of rumours about Plea bargaining in the next couple of weeks too.
that the most important piece of damage has been done. A very high ranking White House official has been indicted and forced to resign. The American public, last-gaspers not withstanding, are well aware that this administration lied to us about the reasons behind the Iraq War. The media now feels free to report on the issue.
Fitzgerald, Libby, any additional indictments and/or charges, and the ensuing court cases will, of course, be very important. More high ranking officials, including the Vice President of the United States, will be called to the stand under oath to answer questions they do not want asked. National Security and executive priviledge will be invoked in some cases, honored by the judge in some, not honored in others, in any event more will be revealed.
But in the meantime, I am running through various on-line newspapers and Libby is the top news story. The entire world, including the American people, are watching the bush administration being indicted for lying about the war. The details and particulars are less important. The story is that the bush administration lied.
In addition, the Niger forgery story is getting play. Many more names then Libby are getting negative airtime for their involvement in the various plots. Franklin, an admitted and convicted spy is involved. Hadley, Rove, Cheney, Fleischer, Bolton or Grossman, and Tenet are all being named in various stories and the general impression is that the real story, while not completely out in the open and certainly not proved in a court of law, is being laid bare before the publics eyes.
In another window I’m reading a Washington Post story about the Italian news series regarding the forgeries. The story is out and it is being reported. Other sites are saying this is the root of the whole thing, something we all know but that I think the American public now knows or is now learning.
In the meantime, the administration has caved in to right wing fanatics regarding Supreme Court nominees. Some of the head lines have blared out loud that the far right feel it is in charge on this subject. Others that the President is “weak” or “weakened.”
Critical mass has been reached.
If the next nominee is indeed a winger then it is an easy play for the Democratic leadership, the media and us… the right wing nominee is clearly far outside of the mainstream and is being forced on the American people by a radical fringe eliment that a weakened bush has caved into. This makes the radical fringe nominee unacceptable.
And finally, the Italian Niger forgery story is the critical one. Between the Libby indictment and the Italian investigation it requires an American investigation as well. Either Fitzgerald, another Special Prosecutor, or Congress must investigate just how deep and how far back the lying and conspiracy goes in the White House.
And all of this has the potential to lead to calls for the resignation or impeachment of the Vice President and/or President of the United States of America. It is not unreasonable to begin preparations for public outcry and calls for resignation and/or impeachment even now, even with a Republican Congress.
<Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure>
Listen to this dude Andrew, he knows what he is talking about.
</Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure>
I would caution not to get too excited about the Italian investigation into the forgeries yet. My sense is that, as is so far the case here with Libby being the main target so far, the Italian investigation might be predisposed to pin the whole scheme on rocco Martino as a money-making scheme,rather than as a more serious effort to pass off false info to legitimize the Iraq invasion.
Curiously, in Italy the trial for the murder of Roberto Calvi 25 years ago is going on right now, and my understanding is that the 4 or 5 defendants are Mafia guys. Now a couple of these guys might be the hitters, but the Mafia did not sanction the murder, and in fact there is some relation between the criminal group to which Calvi belonged back then and some of the figures reportedly enmeshed in the current Niger forgery crime now.
I think the key point about the Italian reporting is that the story is getting play in the US press now and not just on web sites like this.
Way back when it seemed a little tin foily when first reported then started certain aspects started gaining credibility and corroboration but the story remained on the web and not in mainstream reporting. Mainstream reporting ended with a White House admission that “Yeah those 16 words shouldn’t have been in there. Bad intelligence and all that.”
And the story went no farther.
That is the story line. The story line is that the Bush Administration lied, forged, smeared, outed, covered up, wrongly took us to war, and has now been caught.
That is the story that American and the World sees. The details are important to us and important to a court room but the story line doesn’t require all the details to be in place or provable. Cynical Americans won’t believe for a minute that Libby did it alone. The whole of the bush administration is branded with this story.
The other part of the american coverage of the italian story with all the rest of this thrown in is that it allows the political call for further American investigation into the whole thing. The bush administration is doomed to investigation and trial until, and probably beyond, January 20, 2009.
We aren’t quite there yet but somewhere along in here (probably if and when additional officials are indicted or once a conspiracy charge is leveled) the door is opened to calls for resignations and/or impeachment. Certainly if any charges go directly to Cheney.
I agree it’s great the story is being discussed in the MSM even if only cursorily for the moment.
I will celebrate when I read or hear an MSM reporter or analyist remark that the very fact that for 3 years the government and the media conspicuously avoided even investigating the forgery crime; that this failure of diligence is a story unto itself, and a telling one.
There’s not one scintilla of doubt in my mind that the forgeries and the entire war plannng by the neocons and others is all of a piece; that it’s all the result of the actions of one primary entity of which creatures like Libby and Perle and Ledeen and Wurmser and Hannah and Franklin and Cheney and Wolfowitz and Bolton and their disgraceful minions in the media are but different faces of the same ghastly and bloodthirsty beast. (I don’t mean this in a religious context; I mean it in a sickness context.) These people are all afflicted with the same aggressive rabidity; impervious to reason and undeterred by any humanitarian or spiritual concerns. Power for themselves is the only thing to which they pledge alliegance.
Murderous maniacs, the lot of them.
I will celebrate when I read or hear an MSM reporter or analyist remark that the very fact that for 3 years the government and the media conspicuously avoided even investigating the forgery crime; that this failure of diligence is a story unto itself, and a telling one.
Amen! But I don’t suggest either of us hold our breath waiting for that day.
Fitz says the indictments ain’t about the war, but as your storyline shows, it’s ALL about the war. Never let the msm forget this — plaster them with letters to the editors, ombudsmen, and anyone else you can think of and keep this thing alive — before they find another missing white girl to occupy their vapid chatter quota.
I get the same feeling that a threshhold has been crossed. So many things are happening at the same time, which is usually a bad thing because it distracts attention from some of them. But in this case I think it works against Bush because in all the varied charges and failures, Bush is going to be the easy focus for a wide range of contempt for the administration and the GOP.
The Meir collapse will be more significant than it seems right now, I think. It kicks out the last two positive bits of imagery Bush still had going for him: that he’s a “loyalty above all” kinda guy (except he gave up his “great” nominee without even trying), and that he’s a “stay the course” kinda guy (except he didn’t). As a result the teflon is gone and people will look at these indictments and the rest of the cronyism and corruption that they represent, and they won’t be looking through those rosy lenses that had shielded Bush from serious criticism until now.
I don’t see anything the WH or the GOP can do now to reverse the disillusionment. Even racheting up the terror stuff, even a new attack here or a new war somewhere else will just be seen as more evidence of failure. The only hope for them lies with the possibility that the Dems will fail to make proper use of the realities from here on out. It’s up to us to make sure they don’t flub this one.
57 Republicans signed on with unified Democrats to oppose the revocation of the Davis-Bacon Act in the Gulf States. And Bush backed down.
If Bush gets too stinky, the only way they can save their hides is to turn against him. If the Repubs want to survive, they have to tar and feather the “crazy cabal” in the WH as Scowcroft has suggested to them. I was very pleased to hear Fitz invoke “national security” so often today.
When, and if, Bush dares to nominate the radical right loonie that Dobson and his ilk want — who only represent 20% or less of the population — then the REAL Repubs must oppose if the Dems declare the candidate OUTSIDE of the mainstream. Big IF, I know.
I’m not saying I’ve got hope or anything close to it. I’m just looking at the situation in a cold, calculating way and guessing that the rats will desert the sinking ship.
And was it just last week or the week before that the Senate issued a rebuke to the bush administration by a score of 90-9 on the subject of the Presidents claim to a divine right to torture?
At the same time Congress is passing bills to cut funding for domestic programs for heat and health care and food stamps for the poor and working poor so let’s be happy that the bush administration is essentially nuetered at this point but not lose sight of the fact that Congress appears to still be working for the rich and powerful and against the interests of We the People of the United States of America.
Dems on Capitol Hill are almost as deaf as the Repubs these days in meeting the needs of the people. Yeah Baby!
It’s a shame Begala and his DLC pals weren’t saying this a couple ofyears ago. We might be further along by now, and we might have a somewhat more functional party leadership that doesn’t capitulate so artfully to the GOP agenda.
But, maybe I should look on the bright side. Better Begala speak up now than to continue the silence he and his cronies inflicted on the country forso long.
I’m going to go home and have a glass of 15 year old single malt Scotch to celebrate.
Dig out my “Worse than Watergate” book….
Rent “All the President’s Men” to watch this weekend (maybe AMC will run it!)
Wait patiently for more shoes to drop…by Thanksgiving and then Christmas….
Indictments of Guilt…the gift that keeps on giving….
my kinda woman. I wish I had a single malt in the house. I’d be a much happier camper.
than Holiday Inn martinis in the Holiday Inn lounge accompanied by a rundown of the flawed Holiday Inn managment by an ex Holiday Inn employee.
I’ll be getting out the Laphroaig this evening. Sippin’ and smilin’.
You asked for geniuses, BooMan, care for the take from the village idiot…?
IMHO, WE have to keep pushing this, otherwise it dies just like every other Friday end of news cycle bad news…
The truth is there in black and white now about the treason of this administration lying our country into a self serving psychotic adventure-istic delusion… yet half of the country may sill refuse to EVER see it…
If we stop now, and don’t continue the high pitched scream, it dies with Libby, as Watergate should have died with the plumbers…
They continue to pursue the grand Republican “Do Over” on Nixon, Vietnam , and Watergate, and I hate to say it… but It’s still working, from my point of view.
This is why Karl Rove continues to grin like a Cheshire Cat…
Peace
and put a cell phone in one of his paws, and it’s perfect!
We do have to keep pushing this as you say, else it may slip.
But, Fitz is a star now, a leading man of epic proportions and the media knows they;ll get tons of soap-opera mileage out of covering the wingnut smear campaign against him,(which they’ll enable, of course).
Puling irrelevancies like Cliff May and his wingnut cohorts will rant and rave and spin their lies to their captive “true believers”, to those whose ignorance is completely weaponized in favor of the Bush regime. But ther story has a life of it’s own now and I don’t thinl the combined weight of the opinion journal and National Review and Krauthammer, O”bierne, Kristol and foxNews will be able to shut it down. Fitzgerald is pure entertainment now and the media won’t allow the profit potential that represents to get away.
Plus, he’s still got about 50 more people to indict, and the news value of the “Imbecile in Chief in decline” is now greater than the news value of the “Imbecile in Chief successfully thumbing his nose at the rest of the planet.
This is going to be even bigger than the Michael Jackson trial!IMHO.
Oh sweet Jesus, I hope you’re right. I hope it’s bigger than Watergate. It sure as hell deserves to be. And this from someone who watched every minute of the Watergate hearings and remembers Barbara Jordan’s eloquent affirmation of her faith in our constitution as one of the high points of my life. I hope we have a similar moment this time.
(And have I mentioned that years later, I got to shake her hand?)

TRIAL OF SCOOTER LIBBY ON FIVE COUNTS OF FELONY

A SUMMARY OF RELATED DIARIES ::
“Treason doth never prosper: what’s the reason?
For if it prosper, none dare call it treason.”
▼ ▼ ▼ MY DIARY
I thought about this little clip today when the prez gave his little comment before running to Camp David, literally running to the helicopter. I keep waiting for him to give the finger.
He did look like a petulant child in a snit, didn’t he?
I hope today was the but one in a long series of bad days for him, each worse than the one that came before it.
Today was such a great day here and I was even battling a migraine. For once it was so nice to watch the news channels, I opted for Fitz’s press conference though on MSNBC because CNN kept showing Cheney giving a speech to the troops. I really hate that…..how whenever something is amiss Bush and Cheney jump in front of the troops in their uniforms…..did I happen to mention how much I hate that? By the time my husband left work the usual suspects (the die hard Bushies) wouldn’t talk to him anymore today. He called me on the phone and said that he thought he may have pushed things a bit far with them today.
I should have added that the “Mysterious Mr. X” in the indictment is a story that the media can not ignore and should only help in this spinning out of the White House control even further than it already has.
This should be an important test of the MSMs’ supposed backbone…
If they ignore chasing down this lead in a huge way than it will be their complete failure.
O’Donnell said he thought 1-5 officials would be indicted.
Libby is 1. Who are the other 4? And will they be indicted in the long run?
My guess at the 4 are Hannah, Wuermser, Hadley… and Rove.
Word has been that Hannah and Wuermser turned. This may save them from indictment or it may get them a plea bargain. Who knows? We’ll find out eventually.
Word has been that Hadley has been told he is at risk and we already know that Rove is at risk.
My guess is Rove does get nailed for some form of lying. Achenblog for a great explanation of various legal charges for lying and their punishments. I’m further guessing that Fitzgerald is simply waiting for some last pieces of information to fall into place so that he can nail him as thoroughly as possible.
The “under secretary of state” (Bolton or Grossman?) also seem to be at risk here but I’ve seen nothing but the Libby indictment itself to indicate that Fitzgerald has anything on him.
Hadley… oh, Hadley… Libby opens the door to nailing Cheney in the courtroom. Hadley opens the door to Niger and the original “yallowcake” claims themselves.
I just don’t see how Libby goes to trial without additional officials ending up charged. The question is… can he wrap a conspiracy charge around them?
Here is a good source for sentencing guidelines from Velvet Revolutions:
(Think “Up on the Housetop”):
Bring more indictments, quick, quick, quick!
Pile on the charges for Karl and Dick!
.
We have shed too many tears these past years, let’s hope with Patrick Fitzgerald and VP Cheney Chief of Staff Indictment on FIVE FELONY COUNTS, the right wing has been amputated until mid-term 2006.
The Huffington Post – John Conyers
We need to work on a powerful left wing to work together, focused only for regime change. This is the start of our Orange Revolt, so for today let’s be happy and enjoy justice to be done!
“Treason doth never prosper: what’s the reason?
For if it prosper, none dare call it treason.”
▼ ▼ ▼ MY DIARY
I don’t have an established theory like evolution by natural selection, I only have a working hypothesis.
My hypothesis is that there is one other high official to be indicted. My gut says Bolton seems the most likely to have been sloppy enough to get caught.
I don’t think Rove will be indicted, and I don’t think anyone will be indicted directly for the outing.
Update [2005-10-28 18:12:29 by BooMan]: I think Susan and Catnip are wiped out and napping. This whole thing is exhausting.
There is no way they are napping…
They are celebrating!

On the other hand, the impression Fitzgerald left of limited scope is countered by this story now up at Raw Story:
http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Fitzgerald_expands_probe_believes_he_can_1028.html
which continues to say (sourced by lawyers close to the case) that Fitzgerald is looking at underlying crime, the Niger forgery question,and specifically at indicting Rove on charges beyond perjury and obstruction.

JOE WILSON, HUSBAND OF THE UNMASKED CIA AGENT VALERIE PLAME, SAYS THERE HAVE BEEN THREATS AGAINST HER – “60 MINUTES” SUNDAY
Fri Oct 28 2005 20:56:07 ET
Former CIA Colleagues say the Unmasking of Plame Could Cause Harm to Other Agents
Joe Wilson, whose wife’s unmasking as a CIA agent is at the center of the special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald’s investigation, said today that that his wife, Valerie Plame, has been threatened. Wilson talks to Ed Bradley in his first interview since Fitzgerald announced the indictment of I. Lewis Libby. It will be broadcast on 60 MINUTES Sunday Oct. 30 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
Drudge, via Raw Story
Ideally: Fitzgerald let them know he knows what they know.
He is giving them a chance to come clean.
If not, on he goes.
(I am a sloppy reader tonight, I hope this is a new idea.)
