Libby Resigns
Posted on October 28, 2005
Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, was charged with one count of obstruction of justice, two counts of making false statements and two counts of perjury in the CIA leak case.
Libby could face as much as 30 years in prison and $1.25 million in fines if convicted on all five counts.
President Bush’s top adviser, Karl Rove, escaped indictment but remained under investigation.
Libby, a chief architect of the war with Iraq, has resigned as Cheney’s chief of staff. A replacement will be named as early as tomorrow, according to Fox News.WND
So there you have it. The left went digging for dirt, and thats what they got. No gold, sorry. I keep asking myself Libby who? I think a lot of others not within political circles are doing the same. The left really wanted to tear down the house, but you can’t come up with something where there is nothing. But the left will try. It may not be over yet, but I’m exhausted hearing about it. I think it will fizzle out soon enough. How long can you dig in an empty lot before you give up that there is no hidden treasure?

” I keep asking myself Libby who? I think a lot of others not within political circles are doing the same.”
Ignorance is bliss.
In response to the author’s comments about the Libby indictment and resignation “The left really wanted to tear down the house, but you can’t come up with something where there is nothing.”
No, there is something. Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald was very clear on this, in his words, “If you’re doing a national security investigation, if you’re trying to find out who compromised the identity of a CIA officer and you go before a grand jury and if the charges are proven — because remember there’s a presumption of innocence — but if it is proven that the chief of staff to the vice president went before a federal grand jury and lied under oath repeatedly and fabricated a story about how he learned this information, how he passed it on, and we prove obstruction of justice, perjury and false statements to the FBI, that is a very, very serious matter”.
“Libby who?” Great spin there buddy. One of these days we need to admit that this is one of the worst Republican administrations ever. Republicans need to spend more time trying to get Bush (current President) to appoint qualified conservatives, accept that Iraq is not going well, do something worthwhile in the next 3 years, etc. Republicans need to spend less time complaining about Slick Willie Clinton (not President right now) or Hillary (not President right now).
We control all three branches people, lets do something with it.
