Ishikoff and Brokaw say this is the end of it

[Halliburton]

just on MSNBC. judging by "Fitzgerald's body language."

:mad:

[rodeodance]

1. I and me say this is not the end of it.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

2. Do me a favor

Arrange to have them both summarily executed for uttering such specious crap.

Thank you.

[joemurphy]

5. Right you are Old Leftie...This is just the beginning.

The Dems have to start making noise now though. The Iraq War has to be investigated big-time...

Two things that have come out of this are the Italian investigation of the Niger documents and how the forgeries came to be taken as gospel.

Another is the fact that Libby (an indicted perjurer now) and Cheney withheld documents from a Congressional investigation

[wryter2000]

22. The Dems are making noise

Statements are posted all over DU. Dean tied it all up with the war very neatly.

[zanne]

38. And who do you think will begin an investigation?

Congress?

[emulatorloo]

14. LOL - n/t

[tsuki]

32. Is that what the Jesuits would do?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

:evilgrin:

[OldLeftieLawyer]

42. The Jesuits I know,

yeah.

We were taught to take no prisoners when the situation is untenable and irredeemable.

Sort of like this:

[Ikonoklast]

43. As a product of a Jesuit education myself

It is worth noting that they are the only order to specifically take an oath of loyalty to the Pope. Independent thinkers and ruthlessly logical.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

44. It's lovely, of course,

that they've spent their lives driving Popes nuts.

And being reined in by Popes.

I love them. They were the best thing that could ever have happened to me, not counting my kids, my husband, and my new Ferragamo boots............

[tsuki]

52. Looks like Tony Snow on Bill Maher last night. n/t

[OldLeftieLawyer]

53. Wasn't he awful?

I was already a Billy Connelly fan, but when he made mincemeat of that mealymouthed sycophant Snow, I just about stood up and cheered.

Thanks for reminding me - I want to see it again - gotta go check HBO schedule.

[tsuki]

54. What I could not believe was Maher. He had

no clue. But, but, but it's treason says Maher. If I had not known the case, and that the Saudis are big time into Ruperts News Corp, I might have drank the kool-aid also.

[EFerrari]

3. And they get to be wrong. n/t

[xultar]

12. Agreed.

[EFerrari]

25. Hey, you. Remember that old Chicago song?

"Only the beginning / of what I want to feel forever.."

lol

:toast:

[dennis4868]

4. From Body Language?

How the hell can you tell what a DA is going to do from BODY LANGUAGE?

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. They both read US magazine and have learned it from US's

body language expert I bet. ;) That's just stupid.

[Cha]

49. That's what I thought of

when I first this fiddlefaddle about Fitz's "body language"!

I read a little US now and then :)

[madame defarge]

9. It's all they've got to go on...

Fitz is such an outstanding individual that they're all going to come up with the lamest reasons to try to spin it their way. Man, I really hate talking heads. Reminds me why I don't watch tv news anymore.

[Botany]

6. Sure and the election was fair too.

Fitz is going after bigger fish ..... Scooter is a good start



merry fitzmas
treason is the reason for the season

[Rex]

8. Wishful thinking on their part.

Whores.

[jackstraw45]

10. Might get flamed...

...but after READING the transcript of the press conference, I also think that he's 95% done. He pretty much said it would be unusual in a case like this to charge anyone else.

These are HIS words...not mine:

"OK, is the investigation finished? It's not over, but I'll tell you this: Very rarely do you bring a charge in a case that's going to be tried and would you ever end a grand jury investigation.

I can tell you, the substantial bulk of the work in this investigation is concluded."


I think a LOT of us are going by emotions at this point, reading the cracked door he left open as a sign of big things to come.

Personally, I don't think he feels he can CONVICT KKKarl Rove and after 2 years, I think he's ready to head back to Chicago.

That said, there's a LOT of investigating to do - by our democrats in Congress and MAYBE there will be more from Fitzgerald on this.

I just think many at DU are getting all worked up (only to be pissed in a month or so).

[dennis4868]

13. he said it is....

not over!

[zanne]

40. Clutching at straws.

How many broken hearts can we stand?

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. And then comes a trial and witnesses and even more reason to

dig further. Remember who, what when, where and WHY...WHY did Scooter leak Valerie's name? It's not over. And I'm still happy.

[progressivebydesign]

19. The Grand Jury expired, he did not end it, per se.

That sentence you posted... well.. I can barely understand what he is saying there, and it's meaningless without the question.

[lumberjack_jeff]

35. A spokesman for his investigation announced that a new GJ would convene

[4MoreYearsOfHell]

41. Whoa - he said that the bulk of the work is over...

so it may be - but they can not go after bigger fish because Libby lied - that means he doesn't have ALL of the truth. He has to go after Libby to get the facts before he can get on with the rest of the charges.

And that rarely you would 'end a grand jury investigation'.

He is just getting started...

[Walt Starr]

11. This will be over when Fitzgerald announces his investigation has come to

an end.

Not a millisecond sooner.

[BelgianMadCow]

15. I don't like it as much as before, but quote from "Top Gun"

soundtrack : gotta live your life as if each second was the final one

[progressivebydesign]

17. That's ridiculous. What next? tea fucking leaves????

That's some greeeat journalism there. Your lips say yes.. but your eyes say no, no, no. Apparently they are too dense to actually listen to the words of the press conference.

[onenote]

20. next up: NBC news analyzes Fitz' s "aura"

And coming up as a fall replacement LAW and ORDER: Feng Sui

[wryter2000]

24. LOL

Maybe they'll have his colors done, too.

[lumberjack_jeff]

37. Not so fast - the chicken guts indicate that there's more to come!

[Cha]

51. Yeah, and what does

fucking chimpy's body language Reveal?

That he's a knuckledragging neanderthal?

[calimary]

18. isikoff can't find his way around any story unless there's a stained blue

dress in there somewhere.

From the appearances I've seen of his, on various TV shows, throughout the last several months, he looks as though he's pursuing this story with the most colossal reluctance, kind of like a kid forced to do his homework when he'd rather be playing video games. This ISN'T his cup of tea, and at least to me, he seems rather transparent about it. He doesn't want to be looking into malfeasance on this side of the aisle, AT ALL. Probably a closet neoCON.

[wryter2000]

21. Riiiiiight

And the fact that his English language said he wasn't finished meant nothing.

[Rose Siding]

23. Wed, April 27, WP: Investigation essentially ends, no indictments likely-

Report: Valerie Plame Investigation Wrapped Up

The Washington Post is reporting that the investigation has essentially ended into who within the Bush administration leaked the identity of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame. Legal experts and sources close to the case speculated Wednesday that special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald is not likely to seek any criminal indictments. On March 22, Fitzgerald filed legal papers that suggested the investigation was over except for interviews with two reporters who have refused to testify.

[Pithy Cherub]

26. Brokaw is a Judy Miller supporter.

He visited the Judas while she was in the slammer. He and Isikof are merely teenage mutant media whores.:eyes:

[0007]

31. It's not clear why they think Fitzgerald is finished!

[pdxmom]

27. Body language???

What I saw was somebody who appeared pretty confident and very determined to get to the bottom of crimes that he feels were committed.

The end of it? If it was the end of it, Fitz would have said it was the end of it. Unlike the administration, he actually has honor and integrity.

[SpiralHawk]

28. Well screw body language. I have tossed the Mighty Mighty Oracle Beans

and Infallibly Divined (TM) that it ain't over.

So Ishikoff and Brokaw can bite The Big One as far as the Mighty Mighty Oracle Beans are concerned..

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

29. 24/7 cable opinion channels

news schmews we don't need no stinking facts

[Goldensilence]

30. huh?

I thought i saw that this investigation was done. yes. but another grandjury was to be opened. Didn't he also open office in DC? Even if this investigation is done this is the foot in the door dems should take. Press this further. Ask to dig deeper. Make sure this just isn't a drive by thing that the WH hopes goes away. Make this an issue.

[tom22]

34. Unless Libby rolls on Rove or Cheney it is over.

Fitzgerald said he essentially ended his investigation a year ago. A new grand jury is not being empaneled. Only one indictment. I am very disappointed but the investigation is for all intents and purposes over.

[Gloria]

46. Isn't there is a new grand jury ready to go...right?

Fitz did most of the groundwork then got slowed down because of the reporters.....

Now he has Libby. He says he couldn't tell us the DANGERS that this created for us all; that obstruction was blocking the truth. The reporter at the end of the Q & A mentioned CONSPIRACY...that Libby hadn't been charged with that but ...........and Fitz cut him off VERY quickly...

I think he's sitting on something huge and needs to squeeze a few more people or catch a few more in lies.....

[deadparrot]

33. Using that logic, DeLay was very happy to be indicted, indeed. nt

[NNN0LHI]

36. I think the media whores are scared shitless...

... by looking at their body language.

Don

[4MoreYearsOfHell]

39. What is with these repukes and their body language thingy?

For a while it was like Bush had learned a new meme, talking about body language before the 911 commission when he appeared with Cheney.

Frankly, I think Bush's body language is best when he is bending over, like the picture of him signing the bill protecting the gun manufacturers.

He is at his happiest when someone can shove it up his ass...

[Gloria]

45. Did they watch Andrea Mitchell who was on earlier today with

this line? Only she didn't mention body language....

[alcibiades_mystery]

47. It IS the end of it

Doesn't matter how mad you get about it.

This thing is done.

[Cha]

48. We'll have to remember this..

and when "It's Not The End" we'll have to drag out their quotes and vilify them. :evilgrin:

[Spazito]

50. ROFLMAO!

Damn, I must have missed where they qualified as experts in body language! I can't believe, well, sadly, I can, they would even go there. It is hilarious!

[Chiyo-chichi]

55. But my Magic 8 Ball says...
