What do you make of this? Norah O'Donnell on Plame Case

[Ugnmoose]

Does she know something other don't. It is so unlike a media whore to make such a bold statement.

And here's NBC's Norah O'Donnell on MSNBC yesterday: "Let's step back for a moment because this story is huge, and I say it has huge political ramifications because of the subject and what originally launched this whole case. This is about the justification that the president used to go to war in Iraq. . . .

"I think what's most stunning about the case is the involvement of Karl Rove, the president's deputy chief of staff, a senior political advisor . . . his strongest defender in the White House. . . .

"'This case has been on the verge of blowing up for months now and we are closer than ever to finding out just what Fitzgerald wants to do. Many people may be looking at . . . legal issues about jailing reporters -- this is about a potential scandal in the second term of the Bush administration, and just what the prosecutor, Fitzgerald, is up to, no one knows. But it could be huge."

1. Watch Nora get re-assigned to DeLuth, MN, real soon.

[forintegrity]

2. Or simply fired

and smeared to the point where her career is done

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. That would be Duluth.

[Ugnmoose]

4. Hey nice looking cat

;)

[autorank]

23. Oops, I was thinking of DeLuth, Georgia...

I'm told spelling corrections on DU are a subsconscious sign of hostility. What did I ever do to you?

:shrug:

5. She has also noted

that the judge rejected Judith Miller's stance that she was refusing to testify because she was protecting a source; the judge knows that Judith is hiding something else. Something big, by the way.

[Ugnmoose]

8. You bet

Judy's role in this thing goes way beyond that of an informed journalist protecting a source. She is way deep in the middle of it. I think she is going to the can to protect her own ass. BTW, anyone pick up on her connection to David Kelly and the fact that just a couple of days after Wilson spilled the beans in the Op Ed piece poor David was offed. Supposedly Judy girl was in close contact with Kelly and had gotten an email from him just the day before he "killed himself" Something smells really bad here.

[H2O Man]

9. Yes.

And it was Judith who called the Islamic front to warn them that the FBI was planning a surprise visit.

[Ugnmoose]

11. Old Fitz knows her MO really well

I think he already has the goods on her and just wanted to force her to self incriminate herself or go to the can. He knew she would have to go to the can to cool off while he builds his case to indict her along with the rest of the Bush Cabal. Perhaps some just revenge for the Islamic tip-off.

[H2O Man]

13. I believe he is

the prosecutor assigned to investigate that, too. I believe that he is very close to beginning criminal proceedings against her for obstruction of justice. Her attorneys are quite concerned, as she has no defense against that charge. A guilty verdict could result in several years in prison.

14. good pt

so is milla hangin with da killa.

poor kelly..another career govt employee who outlived his usefulness

[FreedomAngel82]

19. Interesting

I didn't know that. Very interesting. I think Judy is very far into this as well. What I found interesting was in the video of her going off to jail she was REALLY smiling. Like she just had some good sex or something. :shrug:

[kster]

6. My opinion

(don't want to start a rumors) Fitzgerald already got Rove just has to tie up some loose ends,and somehow Nora knows. This is what ties all the investigations going on in the country together,ncluding the election theft. Hows that for wishful thinking.

[FreedomAngel82]

20. I hope you're right

Fitzegerald seems to be on the case though and NOT backing down which helps me feel more secure about the case. I hope he stays safe though!!

[DURHAM D]

7. Here is what I hope Matt Cooper's notes include -

Quoting from Rove - "Hell, we bribed the Supreme Court in 2000 and didn't get caught, We fixed the elections in 2004 and they can't prove it, We started a war with "fixed" intelligence and they couldn't stop us, do you really think we can't out some dame named Valerie and not get away with it? Give me a break - we can do anything we want to?"

[WhiteTara]

10. LOL

[Flying Dream Blues]

18. also quoting Rove

"are you sure that was just a vitamin shot? I've never been such a blabbermouth before! You sure are cute, Matt" bwahahahahahaha Durham

[dbeach]

12. "we are closer " depends on her definition of we..

nora is a cute insider but maybe it is time for roast kkkarl.



london bombing may see a lil break-up in the euro american royalty luv fest

let me see..closer ..huge
whad she talking bout?

not another clinton sex scandal.
he been keeping some bad company when he hangin with poppy o

"send busco to gitmo!"

[DainBramaged]

15. "It is so unlike a media whore to make such a bold statement."

I guess you haven't watched her very much. (sigh)


She comments when appropriate, and in two years have never seen her do a puff piece on anyone, just report the news sraight even on Tweety's Sunday morning ego fest.

[Lannes]

17. I agree

I dont hear her pitch the GOP line like her co-worker Andrea Mitchell.

[Botany]

16. I might be totaly wrong. Very often I am but I think ....

..... the end is coming for bush and company soon. Rove would
crack and spill his guts in a heartbeat or have a Ray Lemme moment
but something about Ms. Miller strikes me as she is protecting
something more then just her sources .......

Bush and company are working 24/7 to pack the courts w/ judges
who are more loyal to them then the law ..... must be a reason.

[Oversea Visitor]

21. When the boat sink

The rats will leave the boat. Wont help them at all hey. Pack all he wants those rats will turn around and bite him big time.

[FreedomAngel82]

22. I think so too

Hopefully it won't happen. The judge that got Ms. Judy to jail didn't seem to be a favorable judge to Bush. I hope they keep this judge throughout the whole case and nobody can bribe etc. What really caught me was her smile going to jail.
