10. This is also significant re: Cheney's obstruction of justice
Edited on Wed Feb-15-06 04:44 PM by leveymg
"Cheney testified for a little more than an hour about his role in the leak in early 2004. What he told prosecutors appears to be identical to testimony his former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, gave before a grand jury during the same year. Libby was indicted on five-counts of obstruction of justice (OOJ), perjury, and lying to investigators related to his role in the Plame Wilson leak."

In other words, they both lied to Fitz about the plot to out Plame, but Cheney hasn't been called on it yet. And, then here's another lie by Cheney. Recently, Libby testified to the Grand Jury that he originally learned about Plame's identity from Cheney. But, Cheney had earlier testified:

"Cheney told investigators that he first learned about Valerie Plame Wilson and her employment with the CIA from Libby."

I see many counts of OOJ that Fitz will nail Cheney with. That's atop the conspiracy charges resulting from his "authorizing" Libby to share classified documents with Judy Miller and other reporters.

So, what are you waiting for? Indict Dick Now!
