White House scrambling, says Fitzgerald is a "bully"
Edited on Mon Oct-10-05 01:43 PM by Halliburton
<snip>
But the investigation has taken a toll on White House aides, many of whom now fear that the special counsel, Patrick Fitzgerald, is intent on issuing indictments.

"Fitzgerald's office, although very professional, has been very aggressive in pursuing people," the adviser said. "These guys are bullies, and they threaten you."

Reporter Judith Miller is set to meet again with prosecutors to discuss notes from a conversation with Cheney aide I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby that turned up after her Sept. 30 testimony.

Meanwhile, lawyers for possible indictment targets are boning up on the Espionage Act, used to charge Daniel Ellsberg, leaker of the Pentagon papers, say people close to the probe.

25. Yep
Sounds like someone finally got to these people. They've been bullying people for the past five years so now it's their turn and I'm loving every minute of it.

26. More then likely
They've gotten away with everything else, so why not? They probably figured Fitzgerald wouldn't really get anybody and it'd go away. They were wrong though. :)

12. Yeah but that's different
The Prosecutor should use any and ALL capabilities to crack somebody with info on BJs in the WH. But when it comes to treason, they should use a little more discression.

for dealing with large numbers of tyrants and elite scum....

A more modern approach would be in order...

Here's my idea....put em all in an episode of "Big Brother-Treasonous Dirtbags edition"

Then as they backstab each other and get evicted-they have to enter a "Running Man" scenario.

I'd just love to see the corporate sponsors line up

18. Perjury, Obstruction of Justice, Conspiracy ... not treason
While I believe there may be a treason indictment, I really am expecting indictments for perjury, obstruction of justice, and conspiracy to obstruct justice.

While I don't think they will indict Bush, Cheney, or Rice, aides to all three could be indicted. I think Libby and Rove will be indicted.

19. Meanwhile, lawyers for possible indictment targets are boning up...
on the Espionage Act. Means they know or have an idea what the indictments will be for. It's Treason, folks. And it is deep in the White House.

The sheeple are gonna get smacked in the face with all this, and seemingly out of the clear blue sky...because as usual MSM has not done their job. I kinda feel sorry for them...no wait, that was indegestion...never mind.

Edited on Mon Oct-10-05 05:15 PM by Cults4Bush
that some bad things were coming down the pipe for their faux christian war god and his angels of death... but they didn't want to hear about it.

I've already promised myself no schadenfreude (is that how it is spelled), if my deepest dirtiest dreams of justice prevail. I'll just man the kool aid debriefing lab and try to talk them through the initial stages of denial as the case moves forward.

Isn't this the Thugs' line whenever they go on a fishing expedition against a Democrat?

If your honest, truthful, tanned, fit, clean, and godly, even a bullying prosecutor can't get anything on you, right? Right?

Letter of the LAW? Didn't Bush want to usher in a whole era of Personal Responsibility?

National Security? More like they are worried about getting OUTED themselves, ARAMCO, Dec 2001 FORGER Convention with ROVE'S top guy there LEDEEN, RHODES, SISMI and the FORGER..

I have all this on my DVD set, Rove's War at Takebackthemedia.com

What the hell do you call the Iraq "war"? BUt a major case of Bullying?

My way or the highway has been the hallmark of Bush's "non partisan" style - instead of a reach across the aisle it's not even been a "reach around" :)

How about "GO fuck yourself" Cheney?

All they are complaining about is that they didn't pack the courts fast enough.

LOVE IT!
