POPSCheney Caught in Plame Game? 72 Times "Can't Recall" Liar with selective memory--Remember this was about the vindictive and illegal outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame for Ambassador (and her husband) Joe Wilson's NY Times editorial article contradicting the lies of "yellow cake" uranium from Niger to Saddam Hussein to "prove" WMD and launch a war. Among the most basic questions for Cheney in the Plame probe: How did Libby find out that the wife of Bush administration war critic Joseph Wilson worked at the CIA? Libby's own handwritten notes suggest Libby found out from Cheney. When Libby discovered Cheney's reference to Plame and the CIA in his notes - notes that Libby knew he would soon have to turn over to the FBI - the chief of staff went to the vice president Transcripts plus more from CREW's lawsuit here.

POPSSarah Palin and the 3-Step Libby Legal Defense Fund Palin should follow Scooter Libby's lead in securing the allegiance of a prominent member of the media to plead her case. For Libby, this faithful mouthpiece was failed CNN and MSNBC host Tucker Carlson. From Libby's indictment and conviction through the commutation (but not full pardon) by President Bush, Carlson declared Scooter's innocence while savaging prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. (At no time, of course, did Tucker inform viewers that his father Richard was a key adviser to the Libby legal defense fund.)

POPSHow Many Former Bush Administration Officials Sentenced To Jail Time? Eight And Counting
FTA: *For obstructing the Senate investigation into Abramoff and for tax evasion, Italia Federici, a political aide to then Secretary of the Interior, Gail Norton, received a two month sentence in a halfway house. *Fedrici's boyfriend, Steven Griles, who was the number two official at the Interior Department, also received 10 months in jail for his part in the Abramoff scandal. *Bob Stein, the comptroller of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, received the longest sentence of any Bush official (as of yet) - nine years in prison for money laundering, conspiracy and bribery. *Brian Doyle, a deputy press secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, was sentenced to five years in jail for attempting to use a computer to seduce a child. That] brings the total number of Bush administration officials who have gone to jail already to at least eight," Maddow said. "That is not counting all the other convictions that didn‘t result in jail time, all the other investigatio

POPSScott McClellan: Bush Outed Plame, Lied About Iraq War The former press secretary in this 11/15/08 Book Fair press conference captured on CSPAN makes very clear, again, that Bush himself confessed to a conspiracy, enacted via Cheney and Scooter Libby, to ILLEGALLY out CIA agent Valerie Plame (for political vengeance) as well as the blatant lies and propaganda campaign to justify the Iraq War. Bush and Cheney, based upon this, should be tried in criminal court for treason, or the appropriate charges for breaching CIA agents identity and for deliberately lying to justify the Iraq War. THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS DOES NOT EXPIRE UPON LEAVING OFFICE FOR THESE HIGH CRIMES, WHICH ARE NOT MISDEMEANORS.

POPSWe Must Never Forget Too many egregious Republican party acts to fit in this clip, so be sure to go to the source to read the rest and add to the growing list in the comments. Here are a few more: "We must never forget that the Republican party gave us a president whose chief confidant and advisor was a political hit man and professional liar named Karl Rove." "We must never forget that the Republican party gave us a president who created a gulag in Guantanamo and sanctioned the torture of prisoners." "We must never forget that the Republican party gave us a president whose inner circle participated in the outing of a CIA agent as political retribution." "We must never forget that the Republican party gave us a president who commuted the sentence of convicted perjurer (and unconvicted traitor) Scooter Libby." "We must never forget that the Republican party gave us a president who tried to privatize Social Security."

POPSPowerful:Democracy Now Interview of McClellan--podcast Must-hear interview. The Bush administration cannot deny the claims from this insider. It is also interesting to hear the questions put to him by some good reporters in the run up to Iraq that the MSM decided not to let us hear! Hard evidence for wrong doing in the administration and he is about to testify before the Judiciary committee on the CIA leak of Plame, by Rove, Libby, and likely orchestrated by Cheney. Also how the White House Iraq Group used the NY Times as their primary propaganda conduit, including Judith Miller. Great podcast (have to listen to other news first before interview).

POPSMcClellan to Testify before House on CIA Leak More hard evidence surely for Kucinich's impeachment resolution against Bush, for the President to authorize the leak of a CIA agent (which is McClellans published record in his new book) is considered a high crime, no misdemeanor.

POPSMcClellan to Testify Before House Committe The piece goes on: The statements prompted House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, D-Mich., to invite McClellan to the hearing "concerning reported attempts to cover up the involvement of White House officials in the leak of" Plame's identity. Bad news for a lot of bloody-handed neocons...

POPS Karl Rove Unraveling: Congress threatens arrest.
ormer White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan writes in a surprisingly scathing memoir to be published next week that President Bush “veered terribly off course,” was not “open and forthright on Iraq,” ALSO, RE; ROVE, McClellan asserts that Karl Rove, the president’s senior adviser, “Scooter” Libby and VP Cheney had a meeting on how to handle the Valarie Plame CIA leak case (i.e. a collusion in a Federal case) NOW a Congresswoman on the Judiciary Committee, said on TV yestereday that if Rove doesn't show up for a subpoena --- concerning the Siegelman's case. ---CONGRESS WILL ARREST HIM! Who knew Congress could arrest people!? (like a parliament deciding to arrest someone). Well, it turns out there is actually a one room jail in Congress and they can send out the 'sergeant at arms,' and (without the police or courts), go out and arrest someone. Whew! This just keeps getting -- as Alice in Wonderland cried -- ''Curiouser and curiouser!" Isn't it great! The wheels

POPSMcClellan Joins 'Not My Fault' Chorus Politico's Mike Allen writes: Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan writes in a surprisingly scathing memoir to be published next week that President Bush “veered terribly off course,” was not “open and forthright on Iraq,” and took a “permanent campaign approach” to governing at the expense of candor and competence. This adds Scottie to people like Douglas Feith who insist that all that crazy stuff that happened in the Bush administration wasn't their fault -- that was all those neocon crazies like Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld. We're supposed to forget they would've been in a unique position to stop these crazies or that they were one of them. Still we get a little truth-telling.

POPSCheney Chief Aid Libby Disbarred Patrick Fitzgerald, the republican prosecutor for the case, stated "there is a cloud around the VP office". Libby took the fall for tricky Dick Cheney, to obstruct justice--i.e. the prosecution of Cheney himself in outting CIA agent Plame, a "high crime" worthy of impeachment.

POPSMillions Without A Voice Voter disenfranchisement is something that must be gotten rid of. When a person commits a crime, and is sentenced to prison or jail, they do not become less of a citizen. Their crime is being paid for with the loss of their physical freedom, but their citizenship is not taken away from them as part of it. It is only the Republican party that benefits from the use of voter disenfranchisement, and they constantly fight any effort to do away with this practice. In Florida, for example, it was demonstrated as to how tens of thousands of men were disenfranchised from voting by the manipulation of names in the prison registries. This is an undemocratic process and it must be dealt with, if we want to remain the so-called beacon of Democracy throughout the world. What a huge guffaw that is.

POPSScooter Libby Cries Uncle The decision also reflects the political reality that if the appellate court granted a new trial, it would probably occur during the administration of the next president, who might not share Bush’s interest in helping his former official. Apparently the White House doesn't comment on the President granting pardons. Corruption, corruption and more corruption. I have become very sympathetic for the real people of America since using this site. Rattle those pots and pans.
