Libby squeeled on Cheney!!! He's not going quietly!!!

[lovuian]

:bounce: Vice president to testify in a criminal trial a first in our nation!!!

[aquart]

1. Explain?

[Rufus T. Firefly]

30. I think since Cheney gave him Plame's identity

Cheney will HAVE to be called to testify. Under oath and EVERYTHING. And maybe Fitz has a little something he isn't letting out until Dick perjures himself...

[deutsey]

2. Details, please?

I'm just getting back online. What did I miss, besides Libby's indictment?

[texpatriot2004]

3. I didn't think Scooter would be the lone fall guy...of course he

turned.

[Skidmore]

19. And is taking a clump of aspens with him.

Now that phrase may be making sense.

[lovuian]

21. LMAO!!! I love you Skidmore!!!

:bounce:

[Skidmore]

Aaahhh, Shucks.

:blush:

[Ladyhawk]

4. Where did you get this info? n/t

[rodeodance]

7. We already knew that Libby got name from Cheney. Libby said that

or some lawyer leaked that a long time ago.

[lovuian]

11. Its on CNN and they are reading the Indictments!!!

:bounce: Scooter just resigned!!!

[JerseygirlCT]

5. Details, links, please -- what do you have? nt

[lovuian]

12. Its on CNN reading the Indictments!!! Specific words stated!!!

:bounce:

[Demobrat]

6. Cheney Under Oath!

Holy crap! This just gets better and better!

[deutsey]

8. What is the source of all this excitement?

[lovuian]

15. Scooter will be going to court and Cheney will be under oath!!!

He is a major witness to Scooter's crime ...Is he an accessory!!!

[deutsey]

25. Gosh, I hope the ol' boy's ticker holds out until then.

:eyes:

[Seabiscuit]

32. This is how rumors start. Please stop.

[halobeam]

9. IF he doesn't plead guilty.

Then there is no trial.

[lovuian]

17. A crime has been commited and Dick Cheney is in the center

of this!!! Scooter is wanting a trial!!!

[Rufus T. Firefly]

31. And then there's a pardon

After the 2008 Presidential Election.

[lovuian]

13. Bingo!!!

:bounce:

[lovuian]

10. On the indictment it specifically says Libby got the information

from CHENEY!!!

[Jane Austin]

14. We don't have any indication that "Libby squeeled on Cheney!!!"

The NY Times report the other night said that the information was on a hard drive that Libby had tried to scrub, but that Fitzgerald's people were able to recover.

Sounds to me like Libby continued to cover for Cheney, even to the extent of destroying evidence.

[medeak]

16. But Cheney lied on Meet The Press!

not a crime but shows what a sleeze ball he is

[lovuian]

18. It specifically says in the Indictment Libby got the INFORMATION

that Valerie Plame was a agent from Cheney!!!

read the DOCUMENTS!!!

[Tom Joad]

20. That is not a crime, in itself.

They were both cleared to discuss such classified info.
Making that info public would be a crime. If Cheney discussed making the info public with Scoot, that would be a crime (a conspiracy)

[lovuian]

22. Obstruction of justice!!! It shows Abuse of power!!!

and it BRINGS CHENEY into the courtroom and under oath for the first time in history a Vice President will testify under oath!!!

[texpatriot2004]

23. Correct nm

[renate]

24. that indictment is good readin'

I would love to know (and soon we will all find out) who the "another person" and the "one or more other persons in the Office of the Vice President" are.

[jane_pippin]

26. So does this mean Bush has to fire Cheney?

He won't of course, but if he holds himself to his pledge to fire anyone involved in the leak wouldn't that mean he has to fire Ol' Dick?

[lovuian]

27. It means that Cheney can testify in a Criminal Court and either

come clean and then go to jail or he can lie and see if he can wriggle out it!!! and being the idiot he is he's going try to wriggle out of it!!!

[jane_pippin]

34. Oh my, that could get entertaining...

in a horrible "fall of Rome" kind of way.

[Straight Shooter]

28. Cheney will resign to "restore honor and dignity to the White House"

It would never reach the point of him being "fired." The man has one foot in the grave, it's obvious. For his health, and I'm sure his doctor has told him this, he needs to get away from the vortex of this scandal as much as he possibly can. The White House will try to turn him into a sympathetic figure, that the "partisan witch hunt" is taking a toll on this man who already has suffered several heart attacks. Well, boo hoo hoo. Apparently Republicans aren't made of such strong stuff as Democrats are. Clinton never flinched for one moment under a tsunami of a partisan witch hunt.

Makes me laugh when people try to scrub info off their computers. Forensic technology is way ahead of these bumbleheads.

[lovuian]

29. Cheney won't resign!!! Cheney will unleash a WWIII before he

leaves quietly!!!

[jane_pippin]

33. See, that would be the honorable thing to do at this point, but I don't

see him doing it. I think he'll have to be dragged kicking and screaming out of that office.

Then again, I've been wrong before and will be again, I'm sure. I hope you're right. A "partisan witch-hunt" indeed. I wish them luck with that one.

[eissa]

35. As much as I want this to be true

I'm a little skeptical. I would think that Libby would go quietly and wait it out till his pardon in '08.
