The Right: Never Wrong

[PoliticalChic]

What sort of low-life curs would destroy a man's life over political differences?

Those who support the Left would, and have done.


Judith Miller writes about the destruction of Scooter Libby, by those who would wish to damage the Right.


"The first thing I learned was that John Rizzo, the CIA’s former general counsel and an agency lawyer for over 30 years, disputed prosecutor Fitzgerald’s assertion that Valerie Plame had been a super-secret covert agent, not well known outside of the intelligence community, and that the leak of her name had caused grave, if unspecified, harm to America’s national security.

Rizzo told me in an interview and subsequently wrote in his own book that “dozens, if not hundreds of people in Washington” knew that Plame worked for the CIA. Even more significantly, he said, a CIA damage assessment of the leak had produced “no evidence” that her outing had harmed any CIA operation, any agent in the field, or “anyone else, including Plame herself.” I also learned that the CIA assessment had been finished in late 2003 or early 2004, long before Libby was indicted or I went to jail. Though Fitzgerald knew this, Rizzo’s crucial CIA finding became public only after his book was published. But if the leak had caused no national security harm, why had Fitzgerald continued the inquiry?

Fitzgerald refused to discuss the case with me after the trial. Nor would he say why he pursued Libby after learning early on that the source of the leak was not Libby, but Richard Armitage, an aide to Secretary of State Colin Powell, who had argued against the war. Armitage was never punished for releasing classified information.

Then I learned that Fitzgerald had withheld exculpatory evidence not only from me but also from Libby’s lawyer—evidence that might have jogged my memory and prevented me from unwittingly giving false testimony against him. Finally, the prosecutor opposed letting the jury hear information about how often memories of such conversations fail."

Belated justice? Hardly: accepting a pardon is admission of guilt. Libby had a commuted sentence.
Much more appropriate to as why he was given a pardon. Trump is sending a message to Manafort and Cohen.

There are Republicans, and there are Republicans-in-name-only.
The latter base their prosperity on aiding big government and the Deep State careerists.

so, um, George W. Bush was part of the "Deep State"?

Yup, you've gone over the deep edge.

Again, the whole argument here was over who got us into an immoral war with Iraq over weapons that didn't exist.

And like any bureaucratic fuckup, when things go wrong, the fingers started pointing.

“Ms. Miller says she testified truthfully at the time,” the Journal reports, “but she later concluded based on new information that she had been led into false testimony by Mr. Fitzgerald.”

In summation to the jury, notes the Journal, Mr. Fitzgerald had called Ms. Miller’s testimony “critical.” Ms. Miller, the Journal adds, “says that the prosecutor twice told her lawyer that he would drop all charges against Mr. Libby if he offered evidence against Mr. Cheney. Mr. Libby had no evidence to trade, and Mr. Fitzgerald then set out to ruin Mr. Libby for supposedly lying about a non-crime.

Wait, now, are you saying that Fitzgerald tricked her into giving false testimony?

Do you really think that Scooter Libby went around shopping Ms. Plame's name totally without Cheney's knowledge?

And....in appreciation of the compliment, I will do- as always- inform and instruct you.




1. Libby was guilty of one thing and one thing only: not being a Democrat.


This, from the Washington Post:

2. "...former vice president Dick Cheney’s chief of staff Scooter Libby was dealt a severe injustice by prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald who knew early on that another official, Richard Armitage, had leaked Valerie Plame’s name. .

3. Fitzgerald asserted that Libby had lied to prosecutors rather than mistakenly recalled a phone call with now-deceased reporter Tim Russert. The case should never have gone forward (or, if it had, a memory expert should have been permitted to testify), and President George W. Bush should have granted Libby a full pardon before leaving office.

4. ...the prosecutorial misconduct was even more substantial than previously believed and the verdict therefore, in my view, utterly tainted. Former New York Times reporter Judith Miller, whose testimony and notes were central to the case, has written a book. Peter Berkowitz writes:

Ms. Miller’s new memoir recounts that after her conditions had been met and Mr. Fitzgerald asked the court to release her from jail in September 2005, she was summoned to testify before the grand jury. While Mr. Fitzgerald prepared her, she recalls, his pointed queries led her to believe that a four-word question regarding Joseph Wilson surrounded by parentheses in her notebook—“(wife works in Bureau?)”—proved that Mr. Libby had told her about Ms. Plame’s CIA employment in a June 23, 2003, conversation (well before Mr. Libby’s phone conversation with Russert). She so testified at trial in 2007.

Three years later, Ms. Miller writes, she was reading Ms. Plame’s book, “Fair Game,” and was astonished to learn that while on overseas assignment for the CIA Ms. Plame “had worked at the State Department as cover.” This threw “a new light” on the June 2003 notebook jotting, Ms. Miller says, since the State Department has “bureaus,” while the CIA is organized into “divisions.”



5. Mr. Fitzgerald, who had the classified file of Ms. Plame’s service, withheld her State Department cover from Ms. Miller—and from Mr. Libby’s lawyers, who had requested Ms. Plame’s employment history. Despite his constitutional and ethical obligation to provide exculpatory evidence, Mr. Fitzgerald encouraged Ms. Miller to misinterpret her ambiguous notes as showing that Mr. Libby brought up Ms. Plame.

6. ...Miller’s unwittingly false testimony resulted in a gross miscarriage of justice and at a huge financial and professional cost to Libby. Whether by judicial reconsideration or pardon, his conviction should be expunged.

7. As for the MSM, which covered the case nonstop, its failure to cover the exculpatory information is inexcusable. Common decency would suggest at a front-page headline or two, or at least one evening news story — after hundreds touting Libby’s “guilt” and the magnificent work of the prosecutor."
Time to reverse the Scooter Libby conviction





8. "The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence made this quite clear in their unanimous report on the use of intelligence leading up to the Iraq war. Plame didn't get dragged into this controversy by the Bush administration -- she initiated the entire event by getting her husband a job to investigate the Niger data, based on the CIA's curiousity about the British intelligence on the subject.

If anyone other than Plame bears responsibility for Plame's outing, it's her martyr-playing husband, Joe Wilson. As I've written before, Wilson repeatedly lied about how he got his assignment and why. The SSCI did not get fooled"
Captain's Quarters




9. "... Mr. Wilson promoted a two-fold story to reporters in which he claimed:

1) That he had personally debunked the claims of Iraq’s nuclear deals with Niger with an "unequivocal" report that circulated at the highest levels of the government.

2) That he had personally debunked the so-called Niger forgeries by pointing out to the CIA and State Department that the documents contained errors in names and dates.

We now know thanks to the report on this matter from the bi-partisan US Senate Select Committee On Intelligence that both of these claims were utterly false. (And indeed, the "sixteen words" themselves have turned out to be quite grounded in fact.)"

The reason they are wrong so often is because they place Party above God (They don't believe in God), Family (They don't Believe in Family) and Country (They Don't Believe in America).

And because they are Cultish Zealots, they cannot be analytical or rational. Everything they believe emanates from a deep dark fear & intolerance & from a deep rooted hatred of everyone & everything that disagrees with them. This is learned behavior from a liberal education that inculcates pliable minds with poisonous political propaganda. Those that accept the programming, are usually hopelessly lost for decades or a lifetime unless they come to their senses.

Make no Mistake, The Left, Their Leaders, and Their Followers are Fanatic Religious Zealots. Liberalism is a Cult.

Interesting that you write that about a social view that originated with Marxism....

"Abolition [Aufhebung] of the family! Even the most radical flare up at this infamous proposal of the Communists. On what foundation is the present family, the bourgeois family, based? On capital, on private gain. In its completely developed form, this family exists only among the bourgeoisie."
Marx and Engels, Communist Manifesto, ch 2...
Communist Manifesto (Chapter 2)



After losing power, Leon Trotsky would claim that the reason that communism had not been successful was that Stalin had not been ruthless enough in his efforts to eliminate the family. See Trotsky's The Revolution Betrayed, trans. Max Eastman, New York, 1965, pp. 145ff.

Since you were unable to document your post, essentially, you've proven me correct......again.

Logicaly wrong, wrong again.

Don't you get tired of constantly making yourself looking like a braindead tool?

that would be you, constantly and consistently wrong.

What am I wrong about here?

well, to be blunt about it, virtually everything that you post. you appear to be a partisan hack rather than a human being capable of rational thought. If I'm wrong, prove it.

EVERYTHING? So you think Clinton's Pizza Shop sex ring story is true?

Whats wrong with you idiots?

I really don't know or care if its true. I also don't care that Trump screwed a porn slut, or that Obama is probably gay. None of that crap matters, what matters is whether they help or hurt this great nation. Obama hurt it, Trump is trying to repair the damage. You lefties are trying to make him fail. So where are your real loyalties? party or country?

You can go on with all the babble you want...

But Tim Russert and Judith Miller said Libby told them about Plame... and Libby lied about it.

Even George W. Stupid didn't think he deserved a pardon. He just commuted his sentence because he didn't want his memory to get better once he went to prison.

Fact is, if you are ever correct about anything, it would be a headline.

If ever you are correct about anything, I expect the event to be accompanied by a parting sea or a stone tablet!!!






Soooo.....here we go again:

From the Washington Post:

"The left depicted Libby as the center of a White House cabal that outed CIA employee Valerie Plame because her husband, Joseph C. Wilson, wrote a New York Times op-edcriticizing President George W. Bush’s Iraq policy. In fact, Richard Armitage, the deputy secretary of state who often was at odds with the White House, leaked Plame’s CIA affiliation to columnist Robert Novak. There was ....no White House cabal. Nor, despite oceans of ink to the contrary, was Libby convicted of leaking. He was convicted of saying that NBC journalist Tim Russert brought Plame’s name up in a conversation when Russert and the prosecution said Plame’s name did not come up."

He was found guilty of not being a Democrat.

You might be irked by this, too:

"...the pardon of Mr. Libby is a long-overdue recognition that he was framed by testimony from Judith Miller, falsely misrepresented — as Ms. Miller repeated last week — by one of Mueller and Comey’s closest professional associates, Patrick Fitzgerald. Mr. Fitzgerald knew Libby was blameless and was just trying to take down the vice president by extorting false inculpatory evidence from his chief of staff.

President George W. Bush’s refusal to pardon Mr. Libby was itself unpardonable. In doing this now, Mr. Trump has served justice and put the spotlight more closely on the whole Mueller-Comey-Fitzgerald school of fascistic prosecution. ....all of these people would be disbarred in any other judicially serious country, such as Britain or Canada."

Hey, stupid, Libby is the Deep State. I realize that you guys listen to Hate Radio all day, but the reality was, he was part of the cabal that started an immoral war on a lie.

And when he was caught, he lied about it, was rightfully convicted. Even Bush couldn't pardon him with a straight face.

 

[Pete7469]

Well, Joe doesn't seem to know anything....

 

[sealybobo]

Comey , McCabe . These guys ARE Republicans .

maybe at one time of their lives, but not in the last 8 years. both of them became democrat operatives within the FBI. A terrible corruption of law enforcement.

Doesn't reality bother you?



Anyone who disagrees with you is a RINO. No matter how corrupt or bad you are. Got it.

To be honest, I see this as a move towards a more extreme version of Republican. Like Libertarians who bred with Tea Party people. In the future guys like Reagan are RINO's. Every Republican who ran against Trump is a RINO.

You guys aren't that smart.

Luckily the number of people in america that actually want anything that is based on socialist ideals is a tiny percent. Capitalism is more than safe and socialism has no influence on this nation.

"Bynum is one of at least 17 members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) running for office in Texas in 2018, including candidates for the U.S. House and offices ranging from governor to county treasurer. The DSA, which now counts more than 30,000 members nationwide, has grown explosively since Trump’s election and boasts at least 10 chapters in Texas. The group tends to prioritize issues on the left edge of the Democratic Party, like single-payer health care and a $15 minimum wage. There’s no official candidate list, but the Observer reached out to DSA groups around the state to compile this running tally. (Not all the candidates have been endorsed by DSA.)"

47. China underscores disrespect for Obama during his visit: "...Obama downplayed dust-ups involving the U.S. delegation and Chinese security officials during the opening hours of his trip to Hangzhou for the G-20 summit, .... The early hours of Obama’s trip were marred by confrontations involving Chinese security officials,.... When Air Force One touched down at the Hangzhou airport, Obama was not greeted, as is customary, by a staircase, but had to deplane from the lower level of his 747 jet. Reporters and U.S. officials were kept away from the welcoming ceremony by a rope line.... When the president’s national security adviser, Susan Rice, and her deputy, Ben Rhodes, attempted to pass under the barricade, they were confronted by a Chinese security official "They did things that weren’t anticipated," Rice later told reporters..." http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/a...an-t-mask-lingering-tensions-between-obama-xi

48. "Pentagon officials are downplaying declarations by Iran that it is spending some $1.7 billion provided by the United States on new advanced weapons systems, while also acknowledging that the Islamic Republic continues to build its military arsenal at an increasing rate, according to a Defense Department assessment ..." http://freebeacon.com/national-security/pentagon-iran-seeking-new-missiles-war-equipment/

49. "Barack Obama came into office fumbling on the issue of settlements, and it looks like he’s determined to go out in the same manner. His unilateral demand to a halt in settlement building gave the Palestinians yet another excuse to demand concessions ahead of negotiations, which made it even more difficult for negotiations to even begin. Rather than recognize his error, Obama has spent the last eight years doubling down on it, going as far as to assert that Israel would have to return to its pre-1967 borders in any settlement — another statement that gave Mahmoud Abbas a concession ahead of the talks. The Obama team has spent all of its political capital in Israel after trying to rig their March 2015 election and then stabbing Israel in the back this month at the UN. Donald Trump will eclipse the Obama policies with those more supportive of Israel. " http://hotair.com/archives/2016/12/...urce=hadaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl


50. "Otto Warmbier's Dad: Obama Admin. Said Be Quiet, Don't 'Offend' North Korea

"Well, the results speak for themselves," Warmbier responded.

Warmbier was also asked if he ever had a face-to-face meeting with President Barack Obama.

"Never, never, absolutely not. No," Warmbier answered."
