WHY did nobody ask about CHENEY???

[Francine Frensky]

The press should have asked the big question sitting there in black and white in the indictment: Cheney gets the information about Plame and passes it along to Libby.

ISN'T THAT A CRIME? Fitz said plainly that Plame's name was classified information. So wouldn't it be a crime for Cheney to pass that down to Libby?

1. He was asked about Cheney.

And he refused to comment, which was exactly the right response.

2. He can't answer anything about Cheney

The investigation is ongoing, so he's not going to comment.

3. They did...he couldn't answer. nt

[longship]

4. Because Fitz clearly said at the outset that he wouldn't answer those Ques

He said he could not talk about people other than Libby, or about crimes other than those charged today. He was *very* clear about that.

5. Libby had clearance, so passing to him isn't enough

If Cheney passed it to Libby with the knowledge and intent of a scheme to have it disclosed publicly --- that would be the way to hook in Cheney.

6. According to the indictments

as far as I can tell, Libby had security clearance and I assume Cheney had security clearance. Therefore, they can discuss classified information. Giving that information to a person that does not have clearance is illegal.

This is how I read the indictments. If I am wrong, someone verify.

7. He would give them the same answer

"I can't comment on anyone not listed on the indictments..." etc

[bowens43]

8. He would only comment on the indictment.

about anyone that was not indicted and no info that was beyond the four corners of the indictment. period. he would be breaking the law.
