Why I believe that Bush will also be indicted

[Ugnmoose]

The recent article in the Daily News seems to confirm this - Bush Knew! If so - indictment for perjury, conspiracy, and obstruction of justice.

Bush Knew About Leak of CIA Operative's Name
By Staff and Wire Reports
Jun 3, 2004, 05:28

(snip)

Witnesses told a federal grand jury President George W. Bush knew about, and took no action to stop, the release of a covert CIA operative's name to a journalist in an attempt to discredit her husband, a critic of administration policy in Iraq.

Their damning testimony has prompted Bush to contact an outside lawyer for legal advice because evidence increasingly points to his involvement in the leak of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame's name to syndicated columnist Robert Novak.

1. "President George W. Bush knew about, and took no action to stop"

And if anything it makes him complicit and an accessory to the fact.

2. bush knew

holy shit. i see another watergate coming.

[knowbody0]

3. anybody know the name of this outside lawyer

like maybe Meiers?

4. there was a report that he

was really angry with Karl two years ago because of this. So that meant he knew from the get go...but don't get your hopes up, I don't know if jolly ole Fitz has that big of a sleigh to bring us all the goodies we want for this very merry Fitzmas. :toast:

5. Not sure CHB is a reliable source yet...

Hasn't been proven over time yet - be cautious...

6. See post above

It appears now to confirmed by his idiot aides who said he was angry at Rove when he heard about it. So he frikkin knew about it right after it happened and did nothing. He flat out lied.

12. Isn't it his duty to take action on this sort of thing? Like 800+ days

ago. I think he is facing a charge for every day he has failed to take action on this.

7. Agreed, if anything they have a habit

of posting unsubstantiated rumors from their supposed WH insider.
I will say this though, again, indictments are just the start, it's going to be like the hole in the dam, once it's opened it's just gonna get bigger and bigger...

8. He can't be indicted, it appears.

Here's a post from this morning which explains it. Although, there seems to be some uncertainty.

9. Don't feel bad if * isn't indicted this week.

It will be Fitzmas tomorrow, but I think that we may have more than one Fitzmas. I think Fitz is going to extend the probe. After all, it has gotten a lot bigger since he started it. He may have received new information in the past couple of weeks that he needs to pry into a little more.

In short, this may be just the beginning. Hold on. It's gonna be quite a ride.

10. The day of reckoning has arrived.

Peace.

11. Hey Fooj Nice to see your bright light shining. n.t

[nvliberal]

13. Not likely. He's a sitting president, and there

are questions about whether a sitting president, or a squatting president, can be indicted.

I would also doubt Cheney could be indicted either, for the same reason.

[Catherine Vincent]

14. Squatting president. So true!

:rofl:

[rumpel]

15. You can not indict a sitting president! Read Dean's artcile:

It get's even more bizarre with a vice prez.

The only way to remove * is by impeachment.

16. They are right about Bush hiring a lawyer

I remember that. He has a WH counsel, (Miers?) but the Republicans claimed during the Clinton persecution that he could not claim lawyer/client privilege because his WH lawyer worked also for the people. Therefore anything the president told his WH counsel was not protected by confidentiality.

John Dean explained that once they, the Republicans, won that battle, when Bush realized he might be in legal jeopardy, he hired his own, outside lawyer who would be unable to reveal anything his client told him in confidence.
