Lame Plame

The left is salivating over possible indictments in the Plame leak case. Check out this paragraph from an article in the NY Times:


With the term of the grand jury expiring in one week, though, some lawyers in the case said they were persuaded that Mr. Fitzgerald had all but made up his mind to seek indictments. None of the lawyers would speak on the record, citing the prosecutor's requests not to talk about the case.


Apparently the prosecutor doesn't wan't anyone speaking about the case....so no one is speaking on "the record." Should we believe this? Of course the charges being brought are the classic political crimes:


Among the charges that Mr. Fitzgerald is considering are perjury, obstruction of justice and false statement - counts that suggest the prosecutor may believe the evidence presented in a 22-month grand jury inquiry shows that the two White House aides sought to cover up their actions, the lawyers said.

There you have it. Obstruction of Justice, perjury, false statements. What a joke, especially because what Rove and Libby did (providing counter arguments about Joe Wilson) wasn't even close to a crime.

I can't wait to see the indictments.... It will probably be something like this... "Mr. Libby in his first hearing said he only spoke with Judith Miller two times. We have now proven Mr. Libby spoke with Mrs. Miller three times. Therefore, Mr. Libby is obstructing justice, committing perjury and an obvious Felon.

The lesson in all of this should be....... WHY ON EARTH ARE PEOPLE IN THE WHITE HOUSE EVEN SPEAKING WITH THE LIBERAL PRESS! What else would you expect than someone trying to get you in trouble.

The predicted outcome.... One of the two, Rove or Libby gets indicted. That person steps down and people forget about the case. Then the Press complains that no one is talking anymore.
