It's probably best for him that they confined the scope of the questions to the Blago affair. If they hadn't his plans for Jan. 20 might have been in jeopardy.

He still has much to answer for and, unfortunately, these unanswered matters from his past will nag at his administration.

I say unfortunately because if he is innocent it's US who will suffer if he is inappropriately hounded.

But our electoral process is more important than his administration because it affects ALL future presidents.

Damn the Liberal media.

End of derail.

Yup, he better have told the truth or else he deserves the same fate as Libby.

Oh?

You mean that Fitz didn't know who the original leaker was before the investigation even started?

You didn't know that Libby was nailed on perjury and obstruction charges not because he lied about his own involvement or Bush or Cheney's involvement but because he gave differing accounts to the FBI and the special prosecutor's team?

Why do you insist on peddling your ignorance here as something other than pure ignorance?

Yep, he didn't "lie", he "gave differing accounts".

I must state that your transparent attempt to suggest that President Obama did anything wrong at all when he's been cleared is pathetic and underscores how vilely partisan this thread is meant to be.

Family Guy

Is so interesting that our partisan Republican/Bush apologists completely discount the fact that Libby was CONVICTED by a JURY and actually try to convince people that the jury was tainted because it was in Washington DC as if a jury from DC must be left leaning and therefore will band together to conspire to convict Libby! How pathetic!

Then to prove even further how delusional and biased these Republicans in this community are they suggest not too subtly that Obama and his staff are guilty without one shred of evidence and even without any actual accusations!

To review:

Libby is innocent and his trial was fixed (by the same prosecutor that they now think is covering up for Obama).

Novak referred to "two senior administration officials" as his sources. Armitage was one, but Fitz didn't know who the other was until after the investigation.

That is not true at all. The misinformation surrounding this case is incredible.

Libby was not convicted for contradicting himself. He was not convicted for remembering a date differently than someone else. Libby was convicted for lying to investigators about when and how he first learned that Plame worked at the CIA, and for lying about the nature of his conversations with Tim Russert, Matt Cooper, and Judith Miller. Libby testified repeatedly that he was surprised to learn it from Tim Russert in July, but nine other witnesses testified that they discussed her CIA status with Libby throughout the month of June. These people included Dick Cheney, Ari Fliescher, and Libby's own CIA briefer Craig Schmall.

You don't have to know the exact date when you bought your car, and you don't have to know the exact date when you last visited your grandma. But you certainly should know whether you had your car when you last visited your grandma, especially when you drove that car to grandma's house 9 different times.

Libby plainly and obviously lied to investigators who were trying to determine who leaked a covert CIA operative's name, and whether they committed treason by knowingly doing so. He got the conviction he deserved, and he should be in ****ing jail!

How ironic.
