Bush retaining a personal lawyer and now Tenent resigning...

[Blue_Roses]

that prosecutor is really shaking things up. What's next or should I say WHO'S next?

[mopinko]

1. hopefully everybody

fitzgerald is a tough and independent prosecutor.

[Blue_Roses]

4. Larry Johnson (former CIA agent) was on Countdown

last night and he said that since this guy has taken over things have really been shaking up. He said Bush dropped the ball right after this came out. He said Bush should have rounded everyone up and gotten to the bottom of it then.

2. Bush knew.

From Capitol Hill Blue:
Witnesses told a federal grand jury President George W. Bush knew about, and took no action to stop, the release of a covert CIA operative's name to a journalist in an attempt to discredit her husband, a critic of administration policy in Iraq.

Their damning testimony has prompted Bush to contact an outside lawyer for legal advice because evidence increasingly points to his involvement in the leak of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame's name to syndicated columnist Robert Novak.

3. Wow!!!

I had no idea. And Capitol Hill Blue is kind of a conservative site, too.

7. You should make a separate thread about this

or have you already?

[Bandit]

10. WOW

Now that if proven out is an IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE. This post makes my day.

5. Yeah, the lawyer thing has me feeling a bit hopeful

6. Connecting Connecting the DOTS

Connect the dots...............













Tenets Resigns, Bush Hires Lawyer...




... on the same day to represent himself if he is questioned about the Valerie Plame case.

Tenet is just getting in a position to shield himself..........can you say immunity......he knows enough to blow this administration out of the WH and into federal prisons.

[alfredo]

8. Remember several of us, including myself,

had predicted the intelligence agencies would turn on bush.

Tenet resigning frees him to speak candidly.

[Blue_Roses]

9. It is so "coincidental" that

these two things happened within 24 hours of one another.

[Solly Mack]

12. add too that... today Shrub annouces he will "cooperate"

with grand jury investigation of Plame incident.

hires a lawyer
fires..err..Tenet resigns
now willing to cooperate with a grand jury (since when has mister executive privilege ever wanted to willingly cooperate with an investigation?)



there's a thread in LBN about it.

11. i dont think this admin that hard

it is the american people that are the challenge. as soon as the torture scandal started and blaming soldier, i jumped on all threads to say very top. bush knew. he talked it prior.

this outing thing, from the start it is all bush. he gets pleasure in revenge it is his feed. he was a part. knew he was, hope will show and come out. this man has meanness in him and we have seen it from his youth thru out life. why when a christian tells me he is christian, i in confidence laugh and sya no he isnt. dont tell me he represents me or i should follow his example a big eeeww and no way

[BabsSong]

14. seabeyond--you are right. While Bush has spent not a damn

moment actually doing his job as president, he has a long history of being a political operative who conspires to pull all sorts of dirty shit on people. And then the terminally stupid in this country thinks he's a nice guy--so much for how well they judge character!!! This has Bush and Rove written all over it. The investigators wanted the phone logs for Air Force One on that day the media was being contacted. Not everyone can just mosey in and pick up the presidential phone. It had to be one of those two--and both working together. They contacted some slimebag back at the WH and had him start dialing the known media whores.

23. Vindictive grudge holder

Yep, he's his mother's son for sure.

[Walt Starr]

13. Here's the real beauty in all of this

1) Bush lawyering up is bad PR. He would not have lawyered up unless things looked INCREDIBLY BAD!

2) Tenent was the buffer. He kept the troops in line for Bush to keep them from going after him. They are pissed off at Bush and are about to get their revenge.

3) Continued drips and drabs between now and the election on a host of scandals will insure, Bush will lose by a landslide. This is just step one in the revenge.

4) Criminal culpability will not go away simply because Bush was the president. Expect prosecutions of this administration to begin after January 20th. Kerry will NOT interfere by offering pardons to any of them. If he does, the CIA will be pissed at him.

5) Sit back and enjoy. This is going to be a fun ride!

[Blue_Roses]

15. The lawyering up

does make it look very incriminating and I agree, it is a bad PR move. Watch how they spin it though as a "precautionary" thing.

Tenent is another thing. So many layers to this guy. Has it just gotten to much for him or what? What the hell is going on...?

[Walt Starr]

16. This is an utter disaster for the Bush administration

It's all over except for the voting.

Stick a fork in the bastard. He's done.

[Ernesto]

20. "This is going to be a fun ride."

Yeah that's what I thought back in '72 when Watergate broke. Unfortunatly, Nixon went on to reelection anyway. The "ride" turned out to be way too long. And remember, we had a Democratic majority in the house & senate. chimp has the luxury of having repuke majorities in both.... Don't waste your time talking about impeachment until you have the votes to do the trick. We don't.

[Walt Starr]

21. The point is, we don't NEED impeachment

what impeachment would accomplish will be taken care of at the polls.

The fun ride will be watching these assholes do the frog march.

[Ernesto]

22. I hope you are correct!

I believe I'll send Kerry another $100 this AM. (it is June already)

17. Why is anybody surprised by the Tenet resignation....

too many people around have waited in vain for bush*'s head to be served up on some proverbial silver platter by the whore media and it ain't gonna happen, atleast not in this term. bush and the game that couldn't shoot straight fully expect to win by hook, crook or electronic voting to remain in office in 2004, and the corporate whore media will comply.

My take on Tenet's resignation today is only relevant enough to show the lengths the cabal will go to to secure their stranglehold on our government and stave off a Waterloo or another Watergate. KKKarl Rove has been very busy earning his 30 pieces of silver. He has been hellbent on keeping Rumsfeld and Tenet was the perfect sacrificial lamb. Keeping the true insiders in tact has always been the cabal's number one priority and Tenet was never considered one of the "inner circle", after all he was a holdover from the Clinton admin and would never be trusted which made him all the more expendable.

[John_H]

18. Coincidence?

Maybe, but the frantic spin courtesy the WH, CNN, and MSRNC has me wondering. Are they ignoring the two ton elephant in the middle of the room: that the Plame thing goes all the way to the top and Tenet has just testified or will testify truthfully to the secret grand jury? Is that why he went? Hmmmmmmm.....

[nomaco-10]

19. Tenet got a "retirement" package that would rival ...

any bounty paid to any stooge in any government world wide, bar none, bet on it. Silence truly is golden in his case and he is the kind of government hack that values a nifty retirement plan above all.
