Tuesday, October 25, 2005 Cheney Told Libby that Plame was CIA NY Times: "It would not be illegal for either Cheney or Libby, both of whom are presumably cleared to know the govt's deepest secrets, to discuss a CIA officer or her link to a critic of the administration. But any effort by Libby to steer investigators away from his conversation with Cheney could be considered by Fitzgerald to be an illegal effort to impede the inquiry." Sounds to me that Rove's lawyer will be dancing a jig over this news (and maybe this is proof that Bush values Rove over Cheney and that Cheney will, in fact, be resigning as VP) but regardless, Rove leaked to Cooper. He's caught b/c he confirmed to Cooper that Plame was CIA. Rove should have never have said 1 thing to a reporter. And there are at least 4 other things to consider: 1) Who told Cheney? 2) What role does Wurmser play in who said what to whom? and 3) What about the fake Niger yellowcake & forgeries and what exactly does Fitz know about those forgeries? and 4) Cheney must have lied his ass off to Tim Russert on MTP in '03, huh? |
