Rep Conyers: What Did The President and Vice President Know and When Did

[understandinglife]

... They Know It?

Today's indictment of Vice President Cheney's Chief Aide Scooter Libby is an important first step in holding this Administration responsible for its efforts to deceive the American people and their elected representatives to bolster the case for going to with Iraq. But it is only the beginning.

In many ways, it raises more questions than it answers.

On page 4 of the indictment, who is the unnamed "Undersecretary of State" who was asked by Libby about Wilson's trip and then responded that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA? On page 7, Libby is said to advise "the then White House Press Secretary" that "Wilson's wife worked at the CIA." What did the Press Secretary do with that information? Who is "Official A" on page 8, who discussed Wilson's wife's occupation with Robert Novak?

Most importantly, the indictment reveals -- as was previously reported -- that Vice President Cheney first told Libby that "Wilson's wife worked at the Central Intelligence Agency in the Counterproliferation Division." (p.8) What other instructions, if any, did the Vice President give Libby at that time?

4. I know. As I've mentioned in a few threads during the past ~ year ...

.... I lived in Georgetown DC from 1971 to 1979.

Friends at the WaPo lived across the street.

So did Nixon's legal counsel and many of 'the President's men' lived in the neighborhood -- and got sloshing drunk and stumbled around the neighborhood yelling at the wee hours of the morning as the bungled break-in in 72 evolved into the bungled cover-up .... and Nixon's departure in August of 74.

This is just the beginning ....


Peace.

3. I agree, today's indictment is just the start---of the impeachment

process.

That's it in a nutshell. Be afraid, Bushy, Be very afraid.
