Crackpot Joe DiGenova is talking to Wolf on the phone now... CNN

[VolcanoJen]

"This better be a damned good indictment, if he put a reporter in prison," exclaims Crackpot Joe. "It will also show how important it is for the president to pick Attorney Generals. He obviously made a mistake when Ashcroft and Comey passed this to Fitzgerald."

"It will show categorically that whoever is in charge of Justice can screw a presidential administration on no merit."

Wolf asked DiGenova what would qualify as a "damned good indictment." Joe says Fitz won't have a damned good indictment since he can't get anyone in the administration on the Espionage Act.

Gotta love Crackpot Joe... He's blaming Ashcroft?!!???

[merbex]

1. Isn't he a jerk?

they are loading their weapons for Fitz

[Coexist]

2. only one indictment in Staingate.

Imagine that.

And that case cost a LOT MORE money and time than this one.

[Lex]

3. He's bought and paid for by the Republican Party.

He and his wife, Victoria Toensing.

:puke:

[VolcanoJen]

9. Joe and Vicky, back on TV!! They're White House Scandal Whores.

Seems like old times, Joe and Victoria, you blood-sucking fucknuggets.

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[Pithy Cherub]

4. Joe sounds very angry and deluded.

The boomerang of Truth has him concussed. "If anybody lied to the GJ they should be charged..." Joe finally acknowledges.

[Supersedeas]

21. Real Delusion False Answer Real $$$$ - Go Joe Go - Reputation nadda

[librechik]

5. gotta give the scumbags the last word

otherwise they get slapped with the liberal bias label

[Greybnk48]

6. this guy's a tool

haven't had to listen to him for a while.

[antonialee839]

15. I had to mute my television.

[Greybnk48]

28. He just lied about Plame sending her husband to Niger

I hope Toobin calls him on it.

[VolcanoJen]

40. The CNN reporter at Justice is SMACKING JOE DOWN!!!!

Not sure who this is, but he's laying waste to Joe.

He debunked the "Plame sent Wilson" crap Crackpot Joe is spewing.

This guy is great... says "Joe Wilson doesn't work for the CIA, and he can write an Op/Ed any damned time he pleases."

The reporter is pissed... smacking down Joe point-by-point!

"The idea that the CIA was out to get Libby, or that there's some sort of vendetta... that's certainly not a mainstream view, nor the view of even former presidents or CIA officials. There are plenty of Republicans at CIA."

WOOT!!!!!

[leftchick]

54. David Ensor

he is still doin g a great job. Crazy Joe is really sounding like an asshole right now. Keep it up joe!

:rofl:

[VolcanoJen]

59. Joe: "It's bad tradecraft!! It's bad tradecraft!!! Tradecraft, I say!"

Jesus, he sounds like Scotty McClellan on a bender!!

[TahitiNut]

65. Since when is Joe an expert on CIA intel ops???

That pretentious, condescending FUCK! Not one of the presstitutes is challenging his postureing. Ensor is offering a low-key counterpoint, but Wolf's reichbot leanings come clear as he poo-poos Ensor's on-the-ground reporting. Disfuckinggusting!

[VolcanoJen]

67. Ensor basically told Joe that he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking..

.. about.

There were times when Joe was spewing his "The CIA is framing Libby" garbage, that Ensor could be seen on Wolf's screen chuckling.

Thank God Ensor was there to smack him down... since CNN doesn't employ liberal pundits, obviously.

[Moochy]

68. What would joe have done?

If Joe was in charge of the CIA, he would have sent his men in the middle of the night to rub 'em out!

Fucking Kryptofascists.

[leftchick]

69. It is indeed disfuckinggusting

joe is one of the worst to have on at any time. It is like a male version of coulter for crying out loud. That our US media give them a mic and on air time speaks volumes as to how far we have sunk in this country.

[susanna]

75. That made me laugh...

"sending someone whose wife is a CIA operative during WARtime! Baaaaad tradecraft!" (paraphrase)

Someone ought to remind him of the WWII saying: "loose lips sink ships." The treasonous bastard(s) should have remembered that one before leaking her name.

[europegirl4jfk]

55. That's David Ensor, he's great!

He's the guy who did the CNN Presents: "Dead wrong, Inside an intelligent meltdown" a few weeks ago!

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

7. Isn't it sad

that we have someone on the case who believes in JUSTICE? :sarcasm:

[napi21]

8. Yea, don't ya just love it!

That comment about the AG's is just insane! Is he saying you have to make sure you pick crooked ones?

[tishaLA]

10. His wife is at a fat farm in La Jolla right now

So he's had a lot of time to spit shine his stupidity this week.

[highplainsdem]

11. He's making an ass of himself, sounding threatening, but when Wolf

pointed out how highly regarded Fitzgerald is, DiGenova had to backpedal.

[peacetalksforall]

12. Ithought I desised Joe De G and his wife Victoria Toensing, Now I

find that I pity him and her. They have lost their minds. OR THEY ARE MAKING A BUNDLE OF PIMPING $$$$$$$.

[chaumont58]

72. Ole Joe was once a special counsel himself

When Clinton became President, there were reports that his privacy rights were violated by persons in the Bush(ver 1.0) Administration. Supposedly, persons went through Clinton's passport file, looking for evidense that he had done something or other that would drive the wooden stake in his heart. A special counsel was appointed to investigate. It was no other than Joe, himself. And, surprise, surprise, he was unable to find anything. It was an early indication of justice in DC during the Clinton years.

[Sydnie]

13. I loved how he said

When you lose control of the Attorney General's office you lose control of what laws should be enforced and what ones shouldn't.

Hey dickhead .... they all should be. At least that is what they said when it was Clinton.

[yellowcanine]

14. So Joey has access to the evidence or is he just pulling a "Fristy" and

making a diagnosis based on the videotapes?

[Rose Siding]

What a windbag!

He's trying to argue the case when he knows zip EXACTLY ZIP. But he's got air time and water to carry, damn it!

[Mr_Spock]

16. Ah, he's just a redneck Republican moron

What do expect from a loyalist moron ass-hole?

[Halliburton]

17. that's toensing's husband

runs in the family I guess

[Moochy]

18. hey fucking CNN remember clinton impeachment?

I guess right wing kool-aid eliminates memories from 5 or more years ago.

This CNN segment is a damned good indictment of the media's institutionalized inability to remember recent history.

[Moochy]

Such an idiot

This guy is blaming the CIA for Plame's outing. saying how could they let joe wilson write an op/ed piece.

Like the CIA controls an agent's husband. This guy reads too many spy novels.

what an idiot.

[VolcanoJen]

36. He's still repeating this point!!! He says it smacks of covert action!

He and Vicky are lovin' this "CIA Framed Bush" theory.

God, they're pukey, aren't they?

[Moochy]

46. At least they interrupted him mid-rant

they wound him all up and he just repeated his same BS about the big bad CIA trying hurt his widdo bushie.

[VolcanoJen]

31. Amen, Moochy!

The right wing kool-aid kicks in the 5-year-Memory, though, when it's time to blame everything on Clinton.

Remember this, and this alone: THE BUCK STOPS FIVE YEARS AGO.

:-)

[BuyingThyme]

19. The Puke said it all started as a political battle.

What a d-bag.

[AlCzervik]

20. and now this asshat is attacking Joe Wilson.

[sproutster]

22. Plame Blame Game... Now it's the CIA's fault.

[DeepModem Mom]

23. Shut him TF up, Wolf! nt

[tishaLA]

24. Agency itself is responsible for exposure

Bald Joey Di Genova says!

Incredible

[Rose Siding]

25. Now he's trashing Wilson and the WHOLE CIA

:rofl:

[Lex]

REPEATING THE LIE about Plame sending Wilson.

Jesus.

[Quetzal]

26. Who the fuck is this guy?

BLAME THE CIA FOR OUTING VALERIE PLAME? Give me a fuckin' break!!!

[leftchick]

60. he is desperate

he and his harpy wife made their names on TV during the Clinton fiasco. The are die hard wingers, could you tell?

[VolcanoJen]

27. LMFAO... he blames the CIA for blowing Plame's cover!!!

He calls it "the worst tradecraft I've ever seen," allowing Joe Wilson to write the infamous Op/Ed.

As in, Wilson brought this upon himself, and it's all the CIA's fault.

Crackpot Joe is a FuckNugget.

[Moochy]

29. He's as bad as a RW crackpot caller from Washington Journal

CSPAN or CNN you decide.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

30. what are we going to tell the children?

[highplainsdem]

32. Sounds like Joe can't wait to go to war against the CIA. LOL

[sproutster]

33. As the narrative continues... I SMELL A CONSPIRACY INDICTMENT

[Me.]

34. She's Not Just A Reporter

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x5202254

[VolcanoJen]

35. Now, Joe says "I'm a mainstream conservative, not a movement conservative.

Joe is a big fat liar.

And a bowel movement.

[Lex]

And does Wolfie have on a liberal too? Or just DiGenova?

Let me guess . . .

[napi21]

41. Yes, there are several talking heads on his show.

I can't remember all their names, sorry.

Jeff Greenfield is there, and several others.

They're actually having a decent conversation.

[VolcanoJen]

44. The CNN reporter at Justice SMACKED JOE DOWN, HARD

See my Post #40!!

No real pundit-type liberal, but that reporter at Justice (what's his name?) just handed Crackpot Joe his ass in a handbag.

ETA: CNN reporter's name is David Ensor.

[Lex]

47. But as far as "guests" there is just admitted conservative DiGenova.

Glad the CNN reporters are trying to provide some balance.

[leftchick]

56. Yes and wolfie is letting him go on and on

and on and on and on... :puke:

[Moochy]

63. Such a false premise

that the CIA can control the husband of a NOC.
"pretty bad tradecraft"
...referring to the CIA being sloppy by "allowing" this to happen.

"decide to let the husband of an undercover operative, during the time of war write an op/ed peice"

Ok, first of all, as an AMBASSADOR, Joe Wilson is not just the "husband of some undercover operative" He's a person with an ambassadorial career separate from his wife's. Certainly he understood the her position and his role as cover for her CIA operations when he was an active ambassador. But he was a real ambassador with relevant experience in africa, and with uranium mines.

Secondly what kind of control does Joe DiGenova expect the CIA to exert over a free citizen Joe Wilson? Non disclosure agreements? His implication is that the CIA should have muzzled Joe Wilson whose information was seemingly being ignored at the Pentagon + White House.
In this kryptofascists' utopia would CIA men in black have come for Joe Wilson in the night? :grr: :grr: :grr:

What's right and just, the truth or skewed false pretense for war? What's CNN's part in the cheerleading that led to war?

[Moochy]

38. Bowel Movement Conservative: NeoConstipated

Does that make him NEO-constipated?

[Postman]

37. Sounds like an apologist to me.

eom

[Coexist]

39. Are they seriously trying to spin that Joe Wilson's writing an op ed

piece on Niger meant that the CIA wasn't trying to protect Valerie Wilson's identity?!

WTF??

[Lex]

42. They've spun themselves into a knot.

DiGenova in a snit now.

[VolcanoJen]

49. Actually, DiGenova says the whole thing is a CIA Conspiracy against the WH

He and Vicky have been floating this crap for a few weeks now.

Nobody's buyin' it. One of the CNN reporters just gave him a serious smack-down on factual information.

[sproutster]

43. Joe back on... back stepping, but still firmly blaming CIA.

<cut in>
Now procedure cut in since it's almost time :D

[BuyingThyme]

45. Sounds like Wolf has handed his show over to a Nazi shill.

[Catrina]

48. 'President needs to appoint crooked DA in order

to pre-empt any investigation into crimes he intends to commit'!!!!

Omg, Joe Di Genova just nailed the Republican philosophy!! What a total and complete lunatic he is.

Didn't he and his Clinton-hating wife get into some legal trouble a few years ago? I thought we were going to be spared ever seeing either one of them again.

He just spewed a load of hogwash. These old crooks and haters never go away! Like John Fund, girlfriend beater, got his girlfriend's daugher pregnant, then this anti-abortion moralist, Clinton-hater, told her to get an abortion.

He disappeared for a while also, now he's back, moralizing again. They really have a low opinion of the American people. Do they really think we all have alzheimer's or something? Nothing Joe Di G or his wife or John Fund is believable to me, period. Why are they wasting air-time with this creep?

They must be desperate. They're dragging back all the old Clinton haters, including those who've been in legal trouble since then. Can't find a respectable Republican to risk their reputations any further for this administration.

[still_one]

50. he is a rpuke appologist

the thing to remember is that a war was started based on a lie!!!

screw digenova and his wife, they are nothing but repukes who do not care for this country

going to war is serious business

the good news, bloomberg just reported that fitz is believed to be extending the investigation

[sproutster]

51. Joe:*wink and nod* plust not having him sign secracy document.

[qanda]

52. He just kept going on and on and on

I had to turn the tv off. It way way too annoying!

[Midlodemocrat]

53. If he says 'bad trade craft' one more time,

I am putting my foot through the TV

[TahitiNut]

61. I'd love to throttle that pretentious bastard. He's NOT an intel expert!

He's repeated that specious talking point over a dozen times and not one of the CNN presstitutes has noted that Joe doesn't know SHIT about intel ops! He's purportedly on the news to offer legal perspectives and he's so fucking partisan that he can't stay on his own reservation.

[VolcanoJen]

66. TRADECRAFT TRADECRAFT TRADECRAFT

Shove your bad tradecraft down your greasy piehole, Joe, you tin-foil-hat extreme-right goofy consipiracist piglet.

[Kukesa]

74. Don't hold it all in, Jen, just say what you feel. n/t

[Hubert Flottz]

57. I hope the CIA goes and trick or treats that suck!

Wolf is as bad as the creep on the phone.

[bluedawg12]

58. At least CNN guy clarified again- Plame did not send Joe!

CIA sent him and she said it wold be OK.

Joe had been there and had contacts.

So big deal. he went. why out her on Novakula?

they should have just attacked his story and never mentioned her at all.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

62. I like what the reporter from CNN said that there are many famous

people who are on TV who have spouses as covert operatives.

[oasis]

64. GOP talking points: CIA tried to undermine the president's policy in Iraq

by sending Wilson to Niger and then "allowing" him to write an OP Ed against the policy.The CIA are the bad guys, "no wonder Porter Goss had to clean house".

[Lex]

70. The CIA knew the White House was lying it's ass off and was trying to

set the record straight.

The GOP spin is crazy.

[VolcanoJen]

71. Hey, Crackpot Joe... wasn't Tenet still the head of CIA when...

... Wilson wrote his Op/Ed?

George Tenet, the same clown that Bush gave a medal to?

It doesn't wash, Joe. Just doesn't wash.

[oasis]

76. Disinformation will be coming out from the likes of O'Reilly, Rush and

other r-wing radio propagandists. They don't care about facts:re:Janet Parcells.

[oasis]

77. Add "Human Events "Terry Jeffries to the list. He came on Wolf's show

with prepared notes about Wilson's testimony before congress.

[Oilwellian]

73. Remember when DiGenova & Toensing...

were embroiled in the White House callboy scandal in the early 90's?
They were both best friends with the lobbyist/pimp that was providing callboys to the republican elites at the time. Need I say more about the level of their scumminess? :evilgrin:

[kskiska]

80. Joe was also spreading rumors to reporters about Clinton

Worse Than Drudge
What game is Joe diGenova playing?

(snip)

One gets a glimpse of Joe and Vicky's peculiar role in the fiasco that occurred in late January, when the Dallas Morning News reported, then retracted, then semi-reasserted that a Secret Service witness to a Clinton-Lewinsky encounter was prepared to testify. To recap: On the evening of Monday, Jan. 26, the paper published a report on its Web site. It quoted a lawyer "familiar with the negotiations" as saying there was a Secret Service agent who had seen Clinton and Lewinsky in a "compromising situation" and that he had become a government witness. Hours later, the paper recanted: "the source for the story, a longtime Washington lawyer familiar with the case, later said the information provided for Tuesday's report was inaccurate." The paper further noted that, "The source is not affiliated with Mr. Starr's office." But the following day, the paper reissued a version of the story. An intermediary for a witness or witnesses who might or might not be a Secret Service agent or agents had told Starr's office about seeing Clinton and Lewinsky in what was now described as an "ambiguous situation." Inexplicably, the story quoted "former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova, who is not directly involved in the case," as saying that the intermediary had made contact for the witness or witnesses with Mr. Starr's office. "In essence, your story is correct," diGenova told the paper.

(snip)

Whether diGenova was the source or not, we do know that diGenova spoke to the Dallas Morning News on the record, confirming that a witness of some sort did indirectly pass information to Starr's office. And we know that Toensing spoke off the record, contradicting the originally published version. Since diGenova says they weren't representing anyone involved, on what basis did they know? "This is a small Southern town," says diGenova. "People talk to a lot of people. Reporters talk to people. Lawyers talk. You hear things and you pass them on to reporters so that they might investigate. Sometimes people don't investigate the way they should." This sounds almost like an admission, and suggests that Starr's office may be indirectly using journalists to try to substantiate rumors it has heard. In any event, the fact that the Dallas Morning News considered diGenova a legitimate source would suggest that the paper's reporter thought he wasn't just relating third-hand gossip, but had real information from Starr's office.

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

78. Oh I hate to hear DiGenova's voice, it already grates on my nerves

He is so disgusting.

He keeps ridiculing, discounting the case Fitzgerald has, and then he denies he is doing that. How typical!

[Dinger]

79. Trying To Shout Down Davis

It ain't workin' either.

[oasis]

81. Wolf asks Sen. Dorgan if Wilson acted irresponsibly in writing the Op Ed

knowing that his wife was CIA. Dorgan shot back "This shouldn't be about blaming Wilson".

The Dems are prepared for the coming attacks on Wilson by the Rove controlled pressbots.
