		<description>&lt;p&gt;This “dodged a bullet” hooey is reminiscent of the post-Katrina “dodged a bullet hooey” they tried to run to make the First Fuckup less culpable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can’t these guys think up new shit?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And can’t Croney Media recognize when they’re getting rechewed cud from the last catastrophe? They’re like the lead character in &lt;b&gt;Memento&lt;/b&gt; — every day, their brains get wiped clean.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;From 60 minutes:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Â“People have said, Â‘Oh, well, Valerie wasn’t serving in a sensitive position. So it’s not really that serious.Â’ Well, I would say that’s a very fallacious way of looking at this because a cover is for a clandestine officer can be different things at different times. We change cover. We modify cover based on how we need it,Â” says Mahle. Â“If you start to unravel one part of that, you can unravel the whole thing.Â”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mahle says Valerie was working on important national security issues, like keeping tabs on nuclear material and the worldÂ’s top nuclear scientists. Â“She is an expert on weapons of mass destruction. These are the kind of people that don’t grow on trees.Â”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What do agents in that division do? Â“They’re trying to figure out, really, the hard questions of who has the capability obtaining and deploying a biological weapon. Or a chemical weapon. Who’s doing it? What are those networks? What are the financial trails?Â” says Mahle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think what happened here is simple enough for most Americans to understand.  The Big daddy will protect you administration, is nothing but a bunch of punks.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;A simple explanation for the visit to Bush’s lawyer is that he is representing someone else also- Would be odd if he is representing someone else in the same case because of potential conflict of interest- but Fitzy is working more than one case.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Arranging for an interview with Bush is more interesting- and I suppose possible.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Judith Miller would be proud of Isikoff’s reporting.  really.  90% of the article is nothing but speculation and the other 10% is administration ass-kissing.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;justwondering &#124; 10.30.05 - 5:27 pm   — in response on the showing of the indictment to Sharp.  The indictment is not formally submitted to the Court, and thereby public information, until such time as the jury has officially voted, the foreperson of the jury and the prosecutor have signed off on it, and the judge has accepted it.  That didn’t happen until after noon, so Fitz couldn’t have disclosed that to Sharp in the morning the day before — just would not have happened.  As to giving someone a heads up on what was or was not going to happen in the G/J voting, it just isn’t done.  You may take a call from an attorney after the fact and let them know that, indeed an indictment has been voted and is being filed as you speak, but you don’t give a heads up beforehand because it is not your vote as a prosecutor that counts — it is the jury’s, and any attempt to circumvent that process is legally inappropriate.  And, in my opinion, would seem awfully out of character for what I know of Fitz.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In my mind, it was a scheduling conference or some request for further document discovery or something else.  Not some heads up on how things are going with Rove — that discussion, if it happened at all, would be with Rove’s lawyer because it would be privileged information for Luskin alone.  It would be Rove’s prerogative to share it with Sharp and/or Bush, not Fitzgerald’s.  I think Isikoff got played with this one.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Me, weren’t some of the indictments sealed for a while?  That’s something I picked up somewhere.  Not sure of the quality of the source.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I will repeat some of the Ryan stuff… I was there, I saw it go down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It started with a truck driver who slammed into the back of a mini-van, a family of eight in the mini-van were either killed or permanently maimed in the accident.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They charged the driver.  The local prosecutor subpoenaed the license bureau for his drivers exam records and his driving record.  The license office could produce no paper on the guy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They questioned the driver… He had just been hired by a local trucking company… He applied for the job, he was given $600 cash by his new boss, driven to the license bureau, was sent inside. He gave the Sec. of State employee the $600, no test was adminstered, not even an eye exam, he was issued a commerical drivers license.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The local prosecutor could not believe the story… So he gave one of his office employees $600, sent him to the license bureau, and he walked out with a commerical license too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So he called his buddy Fitz, and asked him what to do.  Fitz said he would take care of it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They flipped a Sec. of State license employee… Who followed petty cash leaving the license office, and it was determined the cash was going to Sec. of State Ryan’s campaign for Governor. During the process it was also discovered that Sec of State employees were told they had to make campaign donations or they would lose their jobs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fitz started flipping them at the very, very bottom.. The point of sale, and he worked the case all the way up to the very very top.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now… It took some time, and the big RICO indictments did not come down until late in the investigation… But every single indictment Fitz produced in that case stuck like glue.  He literally took down the entire state capitol.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now when things started warming up in the case… All the local wags were telling me “Ryan won’t get caught, he will walk on this. He is: too well connected, owns law enforcement, too much money, too much power… After he was elected Governor… I was told he would pardon his friends… I was never once told Fitz would bring down the state capitol in a series of convictions that would get Ryan himself… That was the only thing I was not told.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Guess who I believe?&lt;/p&gt;</description>
