Reply #192: The effect of "Outside Events" [View All]

[ewagner]

Thanks for your reply. Your comments about Bigliosi brought to mind another good point about prosecutors. I understand that a good prosecutor likes to use the technique of "spreading the subject on the record". That is, get the subject to tell all he/she is willing to say and on record and then "spread" it over other fact, statements, and evidence. At that point inconsistencies and details can be used to point the prosecutor in one direction or another in order to get to the truth. Will Cheney et al get "spread on the record"? In this investigation the chances are slim, but there is something else, an "outside event" if you will, going on that will be very, very powerful.

Remember the news story that got buried by the Sandy Berger incident? Halliburton is being investigated for illegal dealings with Iran. The investigation has been going on for sometime and has turned in to a criminal investigation AND centers around the time when Cheney was CEO. Cheney has no immunity in this one. He cannot help but be "spread on the record". That record overlayed on the Plame investigation may be the key to the various theories presented here.

I may be dreaming, but I can only hope.
