3. Thanks for the link, STB

But it says I may be persecuted if I try and access the site. I guess I won't mind if it's Fitz doing the prosecuting. LOL!

13. Missing emails?

"We are aware of no evidence pertinent to the charges against defendant Libby which has been destroyed. In abundance of caution, we advice you that we have learned that not all email of the Office of Vice President and the Executive Office of President for certain time periods in 2003 was preserved through the normal archiving process on the White House computer system. "

[H2O Man]

14. Very interesting.

Two things stand out immediately. First, the mention of the Bush-Cheney connection is mentioned as showing Libby's role was part of something larger; second, the defense will likely call Rove.

[stop the bleeding]

15. As my OP states - I am very busy and have not had a chance to

even skim them :(

But hopefully DU will be able to break them down.

I am gonna keep an eye on this one and when I get done with my work, I'm all over it.

Rove, Bush-Cheney - I like what you spotted already

[H2O Man]

16. I've gone through the reply

and am now looking at the exhibits. I'll have some impressions soon. But right now, it is obvious that: {a} Team Libby is looking to focus attention on everyone involved, outside of the OVP; and {b} he is probably getting closer to revisiting the previous attempts to make a deal with Fitzgerald. He had been prepared to before 10-05, but was not willing to accept the long incarceration. But it seems likely that his legal team -- al extremely talented legal minds -- realize that he faces certain conviction if this goes to trial, and the door is closing on issues for appeal.

20. Media Take On Filing

Libby Says Bush, Cheney Didn't Authorize CIA Agent's Name Leak

“April 13 (Bloomberg) -- A former top administration official said President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney authorized him to discuss with reporters intelligence on Iraq's weapons program and didn't authorize leaking a CIA agent's name.

Former Cheney chief of staff I. Lewis ``Scooter'' Libby, in documents filed late last night in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, said Bush and Cheney only authorized him to disclose once-classified details from a National Intelligence Estimate paper that they believed supported the president's claims that Iraq was attempting to buy nuclear material in Niger.

Libby has been indicted on charges of perjury, obstruction of justice and lying to FBI investigators about whether anyone in the administration revealed the identity of former CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson. Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, in an April 5 court filing, tied Bush for the first time to an attempt to counter critics of the March 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, suggesting he used Libby to funnel information to reporters.

Any argument by the government that the case involves only Libby and Cheney's office ``is a fairy tale,'' said the 26-page document filed by Libby's lawyers. ``Mr. Libby's actions were authorized at the highest levels of the executive branch.''cont…

Libby Lawyers Want Access to More Evidence

<<<snip>>>
“Libby's lawyers said in Wednesday's filing that Fitzgerald, with his revelations about Bush and Cheney, set off "an avalanche of media interest" that shows "that this case is factually complex and that the government's notion that it involves only Mr. Libby and (the Office of the Vice President) is a fairy tale."

Fitzgerald and Libby's lawyers are fighting over a defense request for a wide assortment of documents that may be at the White House, State Department and the CIA. Libby's lawyers said Fitzgerald has collected hundreds of thousands of documents but given the defense only about six boxes, or 14,000 pages of records.

The defense attorneys want records related to Wilson's trip to Niger because they said they may call him as a hostile witness.

Libby's lawyers also want documents that may explain how Bush decided to declassify portions of the October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate that concluded Iraq had tried to obtain uranium for a nuclear weapon from African nations.”

Libby Team Says He Was Not Ordered to Leak Plame Name

By E&P Staff

Published: April 13, 2006 7:45 AM ET
“
NEW YORK A court filing by special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald released last week suggested that former White House aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby had been instructed by his boss, Vice President Cheney, to leak parts of a classified or formerly classified document to reporters in 2003.

But a new filing from Libby's attorneys yesterday revealed that in grand jury testimony two years ago, Libby did not assert that Cheney or President Bush ordered him to disclose the name of CIA officer Valerie Plame.

As summarized by The Washington Post on Thursday, in their filing the Libby lawyers "asserted that White House documents outlining what Libby was to say in conversations with reporters did not mention Plame's name. They said this supports Libby's contention that he did not participate in a campaign to damage Wilson by disclosing Plame's CIA employment or in a coverup of the episode."

Exactly what these "White House documents" are may now become a key part of the case.

21. interesting takes, #2 looks like kpete's yahoo article at post# 18

but they are all saying basically the same thing,

Libby bringing the whole gang along for the ride, I am still waiting to see what other DU'ers like yourself, interpretations are. In other words what has been other sources or overlooked?

22. Could Be The Houston Chronicle Lifted It From The AP

But as you say the story is going to be essentially the same

24. I DON'T BELIEVE IT!

That stop the bleeding slept at all last night!

Thanks for the links. I will read and comment later.

28. Recommended. Thank you!!

:toast:



George W. Bush willfully violated National Security to cover-up his willful launch of a war of aggression and illegal occupation of Iraq.

[Roland99]

29. Thanks!

30. My cup runnth over!

[robertpaulsen]

31. Up to page 9 - looks like a BLAME PLAME strategy

From the Response Fibby (love it) pdf link:


The indictment puts directly at issue Mr. Wilson's trip to Niger and subsequent comment and analysis concerning the trip, including discussions about Mr. Wilson's wife and her role in selecting him for the trip.

Selecting? Sorry, but the red herring that Mrs. Wilson selected him was disproven long long ago. Looks like the Fibby defense is all set up to rehash old canards. Still does nothing to disprove that Libby lied, perjured, and obstructed justice!

[robertpaulsen]

32. Page 24 of the Fibby Response has an interesting statement.

For example, if documents indicate that notwithstanding the President's public statements about the leak investigation, Mr. Libby had no reason to fear losing his job, the defense is entitled to the production of such documents.

So, the defense believes there is a document from Bush (or Cheney) that would have kept certain targets, uh excuse me, officials employed even if they were involved in the leak?

Is this just hot air? Or might this be about a document pertaining to specific officials? Like, say, one with the last name Rove?

[stop the bleeding]

33. interesting observation rp, there was a bunch of news today

I am not sure if that point was brought yet or not.

Let's see if someone else can answer.

I'll be back in a little bit.

Peace!

[Dunvegan]

36. Robert, there is so little hot air on the Prosecutor's side of the aisle.

I tend to interperate this reference as probably specifically Bush-oriented

It was Bush himself who made an on-the-record statement that he (not Cheney, not anyone else) would fire anyone in his administration found out to be the administraton leaker.

Bush Vows To Fire Leak Criminals
WASHINGTON, July 18, 2005(CBS/AP)

President Bush said Monday that if anyone on his staff committed a crime in the CIA leak case, that person will "no longer work in my administration."
