Patrick Fitzgerald Turns a Big Screwdriver

It takes a dedicated prosecutor to find the target of his investigation, Richard Armitage (the man who exposed Valerie Plame), discover no crime was committed because Valerie Plame was not a covert CIA agent — and then keep investigating.

Lewis Libby was somehow able to perjure himself for a non-crime he didn’t commit. It’s like an Encyclopedia Brown mystery penned by Kafka.

Indeed…..

Presidential candidate Rudy Guiliani is interviewed by the media outside of Costco in Reno, during a campaign stop suprising locals Saturday, March 10, 2007.

Poll: Giuliani, Clinton top their presidential rivals in Nevada

Rudy – 46%

Hillary – 38%

******

Rudy – 44%

Obama – 42%

******

GOP:

Rudy – 38%

McCain – 18%

Gingrich – 13%

Romney – 4%

The Quotes:

Giuliani, during a weekend visit to Reno, said the poll results were not “too relevant right now” because the primaries and caucuses are still nearly a year away.

“I don’t get too elated by any polls now or disappointed, because it is too early,” the former New York City mayor said. “The candidates who are behind still have a good chance. We still have a long way to go.”

But, better to be ahead rather than behind.

Right?

French President Jacques Chirac gestures while speaking during a final media conference at an EU summit in Brussels, Friday March 9, 2007. European Union leaders drafted an agreement Friday promising to take the lead in the fight against global warming by setting binding targets to cut greenhouse gases and ensure a fifth of the bloc’s energy comes from green power like wind turbines and solar panels.

Good Riddance – Le Imbecile

The Los Angeles Times figures out that gang members creating violence in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.

Amazing perspicacity……

And Special Order 40 by the LAPD is BULL.

The increase in gang violence is owned by Chief Bratton and Mayor Villaraigosa.

Enforce the law MORONS.

Former CIA operative Valerie Plame and her husband Joseph Wilson leave a news conference in Washington, July 14, 2006.

Mark Steyn: Perverse Libby trial was revealing

In his closing remarks, Patrick Fitzgerald invited the jury to view a narrow perjury case as something epic: ”What is this case about?” the special counsel mused. ”Is it about something bigger?” Fortunately, he was musing rhetorically, and he had the answer on hand: ”There is a cloud over the vice president. . . . There is a cloud over the White House.”

Indeed. And what exactly is the cloud? Is it that the name of a covert agent was intentionally leaked in breach of the relevant law on non-disclosure?

No. On the alleged violation of Valerie Plame’s identity, Fitzgerald was unable to produce not only a perpetrator but any crime.

Is the cloud then a more general murk? A politically motivated attempt to damage the white knight Joe Wilson as he sallied forth against the Bush dragon?

No. The man who leaked Valerie Plame’s name was Richard Armitage, Colin Powell’s deputy at the State Department and a man who dislikes Rove, Cheney and all their neocon warmongering works. The journalist he leaked it to — Bob Novak — was also opposed to the Iraq war. Neither Armitage nor Novak had any animus against Joe Wilson. On the contrary, they broadly share Wilson’s skepticism on the threat posed by Saddam. There was no conspiracy, just Armitage gossiping like the gravelly voiced schoolgirl he’s been for years.

So, the answer is YES. It is about something bigger.

It is about POLITICS and not an area where a special prosecutor has purview.

President Bush should and WILL PARDON Scooter Libby.
