Does Lanny Breuer Have a Conflict in the Cheney Interview FOIA Case?

By: emptywheel Wednesday August 5, 2009 5:00 pm

Lanny Breuer provided John Kiriakou, who responded to Dick Cheney's inquiries at CIA about Joe Wilson, with at least $5000 of legal services. Doesn't that mean he probably shouldn't have been the guy at DOJ who submitted a declaration insisting on keeping Cheney's interview with Patrick Fitzgerald secret?

The Bush Fairy Tale on the Libby Pardon

Time has allowed a bunch of Bush partisans to put a nice spin on his non-pardon of Libby.

Could Cheney’s Lawyer’s Leak Break through the Cloud over Cheney?

By: emptywheel Wednesday July 8, 2009 6:30 pm

SCOTUS Denies Valerie Plame Wilson Her Day in Court

By: emptywheel Monday June 22, 2009 12:59 pm

The die was cast by John Bates’ exploitation (and to some extent contortion) of glaring and gaping holes in the pleading by Plame/Wilson.
