One Down, Several More to Go

Scooter Libby was indicted today on five counts, including perjury and obstruction of justice.
So much for Bush's claim five years ago that his administration would "restore dignity to the White House."
Libby is the first indictment, the investigation is ongoing, with special focus on Karl Rove.
Watch: the White House will decline to comment on this indictment beyond Dick Cheney's terse, written response to Libby's resignation. He wrote his response because he is too cowardly to face questions from the media, that much is obvious.
They will use the ongoing investigation as their excuse.

That's how they will keep from answering questions to which the nation deserves answers.

If Bush was smart, he'd defuse this horrible threat to our national security by putting ALL the suspects yet to be indicted on administrative leave until the investigation is complete.
Neither Karl Rove nor Dick Cheney can possibly concentrate on their jobs at hand with these swords of Damacles dangling over their heads.

But Bush is not smart.
And Bush has no loyalty to the citizens of the United States. Justice to him means looking out for his cronies. May he soon pay for his blatant stupidity.

what bothers me is this..Fitz is a meticulous man from what I have read. I really expected some charges based on the original intent of the investigation i.e., who outed Plame. The charges are for things that happened during the investigation, not prior.After listening to the rightwing nut jobs all day in my car, they are harping on that fact,touting the missing indictments as nothing else will happen, this is all we get. I shudder at the thought and I hope this means that Fitz is going to be his usual meticulous self and nail the remaining bastards at a later date with the current Grand Jury.

Just keep in mind that Al Capone was indicted for Income Tax evasion.
The jury that will hear this case will be among the millions upon millions who do not like the Bush administration.

Amen, sistah.
That truly is one of the most brilliant theories I've read about Fitzgerald's actions.
You oughtta be a lawyer. ;)
