So...Trump Wants To Relitigate The Scooter Libby/ Valerie Plame Disgrace? BRING IT! [View all]

[TrollBuster9090]

Trump wants to bring THAT up again? FINE! Let's TALK about that for a week or so. Here's what happened...

Joe Wilson (a Republican who worked for Bush Sr.) published an Op/Ed that cast doubt on Bush Jr.s 'justification' for invading Iraq in 2003. Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Richard Armitage, and Scooter Libby retaliated by outing Joe Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, who was an undercover CIA agent. This not only ended Plame's career and usefulness as a CIA spy, but it also exposed everybody who was an associate of hers as a potential CIA collaborator, and probably got a few of them KILLED. Libby was the only one who suffered a penalty for that treason.


And here's what it proves...

This proved the following about modern Republican politicians:
-They put PARTY ABOVE COUNTRY
-They even put PARTY ABOVE NATIONAL SECURITY
-They don't care which non-partisan government organization they throw under the bus to maintain political advantage.
-They are not above ATTACKING SOMEBODY'S WIFE and FAMILY to achieve political advantage.
-They are not above getting people killed to achieve political advantage.
Once one of their own has committed such treason, they'll do everything they can to make sure he/she is never punished for it, because it was in the service of the Party. Politics trumps law, order, and justice.

You want to bring all that up again? Fine.
