I was just reading Cohen’s latest piece of crap-o-la over at the WaPo. First let’s start with this: Attorney General Eric Holder has named a special prosecutor to see whether any of the CIA’s interrogators broke the law. Special prosecutors are often themselves like interrogators — they don’t know when to stop. They go on […]
This is the first I heard about this, but Jason Leopold of Truthout seems to be on target all the time: Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald spent more than half a day Friday at the offices of Patton Boggs, the law firm representing Karl Rove. During the course of that meeting, Fitzgerald served attorneys for former […]
Fitzmas could be returning. Top White House aide Karl Rove prepared to testify Wednesday for a fifth time before the federal grand jury investigating the leak of a CIA officer’s identity, a person familiar with the case said. Rove consulted with his private lawyers before a scheduled afternoon court appearance and was prepared to answer […]
Writing on behalf of his One America political action committee, former Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards sent an email Saturday seeking signatories in an effort to expand the powers of Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald to investigate President Bush’s role in the strategic leaking of information related to Iraq. In the form letter on Edwards’ […]
Last night MSNBC reported that the sudden shuffle with Rove is an indicator that he may be getting indicted (via Think Progress). KEITH OLBERMANN: First off, the base line here. Has the status of the Fitzgerald grand jury changed? Has the status of Mr. Rove in the investigation process itself changed? DAVID SHUSTER: Well, first […]
The front page of today’s Washington Post has an interesting headline – “White House Shifts Into Survival Mode“: In a White House known for both defiance and optimism, yesterday’s senior staff changes represent a frank acknowledgment of the trouble in which President Bush now finds himself. They are also a signal of how starkly Bush’s […]
Well the Plame case has taken a very interesting turn: A former White House aide under indictment for obstructing a leak probe, I. Lewis Libby, testified to a grand jury that he gave information from a closely-guarded “National Intelligence Estimate” on Iraq to a New York Times reporter in 2003 with the specific permission of […]
So early I raised the question if Card resigning could mean possible more indictments in the Valerie Plame leak case and now we get this article: It may seem as though it’s been moving along at a snail’s pace, but the second part of the federal investigation into the leak of covert CIA agent Valerie […]
Kind of an odd timing for Card to resign now. The reason given by Bush this morning was so that Card could return to “private life”. Sounds kind of Claude Allenish to me. Yesterday Raw Story gave us this: Karl Rove, Deputy White House Chief of Staff and special adviser to President George W. Bush, has […]
Michael Isikoff ofNewsweek laid to rest that right wing argument that Valerie Plame was not a covert agent: But special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald found that Plame had indeed done “covert work overseas” on counterproliferation matters in the past five years, and the CIA “was making specific efforts to conceal” her identity, according to newly released […]
