Was Goss Appointed Specifically to Protect Rove's Treason?

[NAO]

In retrospect, Bush knew that Rove was the traitor who leaked Plame's identity at the time when he appointed Porter Goss as head of the CIA.

He knew that his chief adviser, his brain, was going to face treason charges...it was only a matter of time. He knew that he was obstructing justice and lying to the American People when he talked about the Plame leak and claimed not to know who did it.

Knowing the Treasongate shit-storm was coming, it is likely that he specifically chose a CIA director that would protect Rove and himself from the charges. If that was not the primary reason Goss was appointed, it must have been at least a (conscious, explicit, deliberate) major factor in his selection.

That is a very disingenuous, very dishonest, very corrupt, and a dirty way to get oneself above the law. Has this notion been discussed anywhere? It seems like a real concern which should be on the agenda of our elected officials and part of the national discussion of Rove's treason.

1. Very dishonest, Very corrupt and dirty

describes this whole administration since Jan 20, 2001. Why would we expect anything different concerning Rove?

2. the little I remember

Goss was head of some congressional committee that squashed something for the Bush team. I remember it playing out that it worked well for them to then have him at the CIA.

5. It was the cover-up for the administration's role in 9/11

that was Goss' first assignment - 9/11 damage control. The 9/11 families had fought tooth and nail for an investigation and they had been rebuffed and given a minimal, partisan investigation. The pressure was building for a REAL 9/11 commission (like there could ever be such a thing) and we got Goss and the "9/11 Commission".

I highly recommend David Ray Griffin's books, "The New Pearl Harbor" and "911 Omissions and Distortions". Even hard-core skeptics who read those books with the idea to discredit them will come out stunned.

6. Waxman wrote Goss calling for an investigation

while he was head of House Intel Committee in 2003-- about the Niger Yellowcake claims, the call to war (Bush, Rice, Powell) and the SOTU speech. Very damning stuff. Waxman called it an orchestrated campaign.

I think somewhere in there Goss (gatekeeper) said he was open only to a limited investigation about the intelligence. Wasn't going to investigate "how the customer used the intelligence". An odd turn of the phrase...


Waxman lays out his case here:
