You're nothing but hack kid.

"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage was the source who revealed the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame to syndicated columnist Robert Novak in 2003, touching off a federal investigation, two sources familiar with Armitage's role tell CNN.

The sources said Armitage revealed Plame's role at the CIA almost inadvertently in a casual conversation with Novak, and it is not clear if he knew her identity was classified at the time.

Armitage was not indicted by the federal grand jury that investigated the disclosure of Plame's name to Novak and other journalists. Deliberately revealing the identify of a CIA operative can be a crime.

Because he is an asshole who doesn't give a damn about sending an innocent man to jail, if it makes his record look good?

[Harpy Eagle]

The legal system disagrees with you, and that is really all that matters.

Was he convicted of outing Plame?

Who cares, he was found guilty by our legal system for multiple crimes

So, you don't care if an innocent man is sentenced to jail for political reasons.


Wow. That's heartless. Maybe soulless.

He was convicted of obstruction of justice, two counts of perjury, and one count of making false statements. Please provide some sort of evidence he was innocent of all those charges.

DID HE COMMIT THE CRIME THAT HE WAS QUESTIONED ON, IE OUTING PLAME?


OR WAS IT ALL BULLSHIT PERJURY TRAPS TO GIVE THE ASSHOLE PROSECUTOR A "WIN" TO HIDE THE FACT THAT HE UTTERLY FAILED.

So, you think that perjury and making false official statements should not be crimes? Or just that Scooter Libby should be above those pesant laws?

No dumb ****, nat thinks he was "convicted" of outing Plame. He wasn't, you too stupid to see that?

 

[Care4all]

And neither was charged with a crime because there was nothing illegal about “leaking” her name

Plame was 'covert' agent at time of name leak

The special counsel recommended to the judge that Libby not receive any leniency, because, he writes, "He has expressed no remorse, no acceptance of responsibility, and no recognition that there is anything he should have done differently - either with respect to his false statements and testimony, or his role in providing reporters with classified information about Ms. Wilson's affiliation with the CIA."..........Libby was convicted....of four of five felony counts against him.

Plame was ‘covert’ agent at time of name leak

No she wasn’t. That’s why Armitage was never arrested

yes she was....according to the prosecutor...?


In the "unclassified summary" of his memorandum which was based on information cleared by the CIA and became publicly available Tuesday, Fitzgerald provided new details about Wilson's previously classified activities at the agency. In January 2002, she was working for the agency "as an operations officer" in the Directorate of Operations's Counterproliferation Division (CPD) and serving as "chief" of a unit with responsibility for weapons-proliferation issues related to Iraq. In that capacity, he added, she traveled overseas in an undercover capacity.

"She traveled at least seven times to more than 10 countries," the document states. "When traveling overseas, Ms. Wilson always traveled under a cover identity … At the time of the initial unauthorized disclosure in the media of Ms. Wilson's employment relationship with the CIA on 14 July 2003, Ms. Wilson was a covert CIA employee for whom the CIA was taking affirmative measures to conceal her intelligence relationship to the United States."

Libby's trial earlier this year established that at least three other Bush administration officials—former deputy secretary of State Richard Armitage, White House deputy chief of staff Karl Rove and former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer (who testified under a grant of immunity)—also disclosed information about Valerie Wilson's identity to journalists. But Fitzgerald contends that Libby's disclosures—primarily to New York Times reporter Judith Miller—were made "deliberately and for the purpose for influencing media coverage of the public debate concerning intelligence leading to the war in Iraq" and, according to Libby's own testimony, "may have been sanctioned by the Vice President." Moreover, while Libby denied ever knowing that Valerie Wilson was a covert agent (and prosecutors never introduced any evidence that he had) "other evidence obtained by the grand jury indicated that defendant learned that Ms. Wilson worked at the CIA from multiple government officials under circumstances that, at a bare minimum, warranted inquiry before the information was publicly disseminated."

I think that the pretense I have seen from lawyers, repeatedly, that any discrepancy in testimony, is proof of perjury,


considering the fallibility of human memory,


is the basis for terrible and repeated injustice.




And yes, considering the abuse that we have seen, if de criminalizing them is the only way to stop it, that would be the better option.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Libby's pardon is Trump's LAME attempt to get some "loyalty" to keep their mouth shut from his stooges under indictment....

Shallow attempt

Trump will need someone to pardon him

I am sure you are willing to put your money where your mouth is.

Go ahead....offer up something (it's even odds since you speak as if it is a done deal).

That or STFU.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

more than a year and not a shred of actual evidence.

almost as good as the teflon hillary

Mueller has Trump enraged

Must be getting closer

It's gotta be true, trump has to be impeached, the media tells me he's guilty so it has to be true, my hate tells me it will happen soon, it's been telling me that for over a year, but this time....

It will have to wait till the Dems take Congress in November

Of 2040.

yes, but Rove and Libby repeated the stories in attempts to discredit Wilson.

that in and of itself isn't a crime. But lying to investigators was.

Now, here's my issue... We've weaponized this process. It probably started with Nixon, when one side realized it could overturn an election with criminal investigations and prosecutions. But we've seen this crap go on for 40 years now- Iran-contra, Whitewater, Lewinski, Plame, Hillary's Emails and now the Russia thing.

I am sorry but you are the WORST kind of partisan. You believe ONLY what you want to no matter how much proof your shown. Libby didn't do it, Armitage gave it to Novak who had NO idea that it wasn't already known. The biggest crime in the world is the one of a closed mind. You're, I actually think you KNOW that you're wrong but too but your pride is too great to admit it.

Libby didn't do it, time to put our big girl pants on.

 

[EGR one]

Trump, pissed off at Comey, calls him (among other labels), a "leaker and a liar"

Trump then pardons Libby who was convicted of leaking and lying.

Bottom line: Trump dog whistling to Manafort and Cohen.....".....If I'm still around, I'll ALSO pardon you....after all, a criminal mob is like a family."

Libby wasn't actually guilty.

The legal system disagrees with you, and that is really all that matters.

The legal system convicts a lot of innocent people, so that is not all that matters. Once again, we had a special prosecutor appointed to investigate a non crime. He knew who had leaked Plame's name one day after being sworn in, and never charged that person with a crime. Mainly, because no crime had been committed.

 

[EGR one]

nat is a hack and a hypocrite, he wear's those hat's proudly. He knows it was Armitage.

On July 14, 2003, a newspaper column by Robert Novak, entitled "Mission to Niger", disclosed Plame's name and status as an "operative" who worked at the CIA.

Novak was an ultra conservative
Armitage was a republican


LOL

However, Plame was not a secret agent at the CIA, and that is why no one was prosecuted for leaking her name.
