“Shooter WAS speakin’ to Scooter…” :O)

Jane, you’re gettin’ mighty rowdy now.

Love it! :o) :o) :o) :o)

maybe he could only utter 16 words

I guess we’re going to start call the preznut Charlie McCarthy now.

My blood pressure spikes every time I see a picture of Deadeye.
I absolutely loath him.

I submit that Dick Cheney and George bush still in office is proof positive that there is no God.

At least, not a just or loving one.

well this is interesting indeed

we find out that our very own vice president has lied to us?

this is too hard to beleive

yet we do like to point them out don’t we…it’s just so easy do.

simply record something cheney says, do a search on the google and there it is, why, he’s lied yet again.

the two are synonomous..cheney speaks, cheney lies…interchangeable

Jane, another excellent post!!! So when will Fitz be able to assert the ‘Go to Jail’, do not collect $200, to Reggie?

I find it amazing that the vice president of The United States of America is the type of man who is incapable of telling the truth.

Pick a subject. Any subject, important, trivial, nonsensical, it doesn’t matter….the man lies…..pathologically

Thank you, Jane, for another great post! Hope you are doing well.

And I agree with you about Fitzgerald.

No way he sits back indifferently and silently while Irving asks to be able to enjoy life fully on the outside while waiting for his illogical appeal attempt to work its way through the system.

Jane, I’m with you on Fitz asking Walton to send Scooter right to jail. I’m really curious about the letters of support that Jeffress is asking be kept under seal and not released. If, as is said, some of these are coming from current administration folks, I could easily see them backfiring on Libby, energizing Fitz, and getting Walton ticked off.

If you are awaiting sentencing, the one thing you don’t want is a ticked-off judge.

We won’t get it confused with ‘cheney yourself’ will we?

Cheney’s a lying incompetent. Everything he’s touched has turned to shit. The decisions he made as SecDef to shrink and then privatize the armed services in the Bush One presidency left us critically unable to fully respond to the terrorism of the nineties. His purchase, while leading Halliburton, of OldBarBush’s family company, asbestos-lawsuit laden Dresser Industries, would have bankrupted Halliburton had they not immediately had the current cash flow from his Iraq War, and the opportunity to spinoff KBR.

The war and the occupation themselves, longtime dreams of Cheney, are, well — we know what they are. For more on Cheney, read here.

I do believe Fitz. has it in him to “sit idly by.” He’s demonstrated he has a talent for sticking to his own jurisdiction. Unless he’s specifically asked by the judge to weigh-in on Libby remaining free pending appeal, he won’t go there. He’s Mr. Detachment.

I believe that if a defendant asks to remain free pending appeal, the very first thing the judge usually does is to ask the prosecution for its opinion. With his well-deserved reputation for advance preparation, Fitz is probably weighing his response to that question very carefully.

Could be a nice question to ask the Senator if/when he becomes a presidential candidate. Heard on the radio while running errands that he’s formed his exploratory committee.

“Senator, as one who is well known for being a strong law-and-order supporter, how is it that you could endorse a pardon or even leniency for a high-ranking federal official convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice? Will perjurers get a pass from the DOJ under a President Thompson?”

“Bush fears for nation’s soul” has got to one of the top ten creepiest, most terrifying things he’s said in his long, long nefarious career.

If Gitmo is good enough for “terrorists” before arrest, conviction, sentencing, appeal or even identification, then a federal prison should be more than enough for scooter.

Emptywheel and I were arguing as to whether Patrick Fitzgerald will make the case that Libby ought to go directly to jail rather than stay out on bail pending appeal. Marcy thinks that Fitz won’t take a position and I don’t agree.

I keep thinking of the scene from Turow’s ‘Presumed Innocent’ where a meek accountant-like guy was sent to a tough prison to persuade him to talk. He was way out of his element and was beaten and sodomized. Not that I wish that on anyone, but, if Libby’s sent to a ‘white collar’ prison, then double the sentence.

Well, I don’t really consider speaking in front of an audience with Scooter in it having a conversation. Cheney could have mentioned the speech Scooter with scoots in the audience if he wanted to be perfectly honest, but I think calling Cheney a “liar” for the speech is overstating it. We’ve got enough on Cheney that this “lie” is just about the least bad thing the man has done.

Fitz “There is a cloud over the vice president . . . And that cloud remains because this defendant obstructed justice. There is a cloud over the White House. Don’t you think the FBI and the grand jury and the American people are entitled to straight answers?”

Darn tootin the F.B.I., the grand jury and the American people deserve straight answers. Whether we ever get any is still a question!

My question is this: if Libby has information he has not yet come forward with, which might result in an impact on an appeal (or sentence modification perhaps) would he be more likely, less likely, or whatever, to see it in his interests to be more candid and come forward while sitting in a jail cell or out on the streets?

I saw that at Froomkin and I think he got taken on this one. Bush is really, really interested in immigration, right. That’s why he waited until the seventh year of his Presidency and a JAR of 28% to do anything about it.

Looking at Gore on the NewsHour, thanks to Scarecrow, and Olbermann last night, leaves the impression that Mr. Gore is preparing to make a move.

Is there any hope that he might flip? Even with the harshest of penalties, do you think that’s a possibility? Personally, I’ve been praying for that but with all the support he’s been given, I don’t see it happening.

I believe that if a defendant asks to remain free pending appeal, the very first thing the judge usually does is to ask the prosecution for its opinion. With his well-deserved reputation for advance preparation, Fitz is probably weighing his response to that question very carefully.

Jane’s right about one thing though, if Scooter is not remanded pending appeal, he will never see the inside of a prison cell.

Martha Stewart was given the option of remaining out on bail pending appeal, but she did not have an pressure being applied on the President to pardon or commute her sentence.

Even so, there was a great deal of outcry at the time that MArtha was being treated better than other defendants because she is in a privledged class.

She solved that problem for everyone by voluntarily beginning to serve her time.

Allowing Libby to remain out on bail during pending appeal makes a mockery of te court system, the sacrifices made by covert agents who work for this nation, and of every single statemetn PatFitz ever made about why this prosecution was meaningful.

If he sits by and allows Walton to continue bail without offering a peep of protest, he will completely undercut his own work thus far.

I doubt he is so foolish.

However, I don’t know that Walton wil necessarily force him to take a position. I think the pre-sentence manipulations may have backfired on Team Libby.

I think walton’s whole “let’s rebrief this and tell me why I shouldn’t release the letters Prior to sentecing” after denying their motion to suppress the letters, tells me he is pissed and only making sure he does not step into a trap and create an error.

That’s why everyone gets to brief again.

Walton is bulletproofing himself.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Cheney came up with some absurd reading of the Constitution granting him the authority to pardon Libby himself.

From item 171 on Dick Cheney from my scandals list:

Cheney understands that sometimes lies must be used to serve a higher truth and that even after being exposed they still have power, hence the repetition of even the most thoroughly debunked assertions, like the connection between Saddam and al Qaeda.

Cheney’s interest is not in the truth but in getting a particular message across. If a lie will do to do that, . . .

These events are usually accompanied by a VIP reception, to which both could be presumed to be invited.

Cheneyism: definition, at least there’s no blue dress involved.

A US Presidential pardon would have no standing in a future war crimes trial at The Hague. Something to keep in mind.

itwasntme @ 58 - Part of the backstory here is that the Hudson Institute is a neocon incubator establishment that employs Scooter Libby (and has ever since he “resigned” from the OVP upon indictment). And the cozy environs of this meeting of HI members who invited Libby’s former boss to speak to them was evidently a collegial club setting. The likelihood of Libby and Cheney somehow managing to completely avoid speaking to each other in that informal environment and at such close quarters seems slim to none to me.

lhp, I thought something was afoot in the re-brief as well. Did Walton mistakenly ask for, or did he get, only opinions about releasing the letters after? And now he needs to go back and cover releasing them prior to sentencing? Or is he just pissed off at Irve’s team, being late and all?

It seemed weird to me to get opinions, and then ask for a re-brief on the narrow subject of prior.

Sorry folks — Leavenworth is a military prison.

But there’s a cell down in Alabama (IIRC) where Attorney General John Mitchell spent some time back in the 1970s. I don’t know if it’s occupied right now, but I’m sure for someone of Libby’s stature, the warden could find the current occupant a new cell and get it spruced up for Irving.

Another failure by Homeland Security and another example of the repubs failing to keep us safe.

Y’know, he apparently wasn’t told not to fly, and it was for his wedding and honeymoon. I’m not wild about letting Julie Gerberding lock people up, too. Just sayin’

The repubs only use government for 2 things:
-increase their wealth
-increase their power
That’s it. I can’t think of one thing done in the last 6 years that didn’t have one of these stated results.

LOL!

mine: oaf lie list.

Man, that would be a very long list.

pow wow @ 98

itwasntme @ 58 - Part of the backstory here is that the Hudson Institute is a neocon incubator establishment that employs Scooter Libby (and has ever since he “resigned” from the OVP upon indictment). And the cozy environs of this meeting of HI members who invited Libby’s former boss to speak to them was evidently a collegial club setting. The likelihood of Libby and Cheney somehow managing to completely avoid speaking to each other in that informal environment and at such close quarters seems slim to none to me.

If either Scooter or Shotter thought there was some impropriety in being seen together Scooter could have skipped the talk or Cheney’s office could have simply informed the Hudson Institute of a potential appearance of something untoward and the Institute could have warned Scooter off. None of this happened so I agree that the idea that they just blew kisses to each other but didn’t talk is typical Republican BS.

Now Heckuva job Brownie is on Hardball.

Tweety told Brownie that it was great to have him back.
