So there was no actual 'security leak' and it wasn't Libby. We need not even get as far as the Brady Rule, but there's also that. Mr Plausible Deniability, a.k.a., 'Reinhold Niebuhr' on twitter, would deny that Fitzgerald knew. A distinction without a difference because Comey did. Comey believed that Libby would rat out[1] Mr Cheney for something, anything, if given the usual Justice Department deal ('99 years or sign this'). Mr Libby was made of sterner stuff, to their chagrin. [1]As they say about testimony in court, 'recite or compose' He was convicted of obstruction of justice and perjury -- and not for disclosing Plame's role in the CIA. Nobody was even charged for disclosing that, IIRC. You can blame an over zealous special prosecutor for pursuing perjury/obstruction charges, but this is hardly evidence of the evil Left "weaponizing lawfare."

If you do not give up your right to be charged by grand jury indictment, the government may present the case to the grand jury and ask them to indict you, and a grand jury might indict you, but then there is always the possibility that they won't. Do you understand that? THE DEFENDANT: I do. THE COURT: Okay. If you do give up your right to be charged by a grand jury in an indictment, the case will proceed against you on the Special Counsel's Office Information, just as though you had been indicted. Do you understand that? THE DEFENDANT: Yes. THE COURT: Mr. Flynn, do you understand your right to indictment by a grand jury? THE DEFENDANT: Yes. THE COURT: Have you discussed giving up your right to indictment by the grand jury with your attorneys? THE DEFENDANT: I have. THE COURT: Have any threats or promises other than the promises made in the plea agreement been made to you to induce you to give up your right to the indictment? THE DEFENDANT: No. THE COURT: Mr. Flynn, are you now ready to make a decision about whether you wish to enter a plea of guilty or whether you, instead, wish to go to trial? THE DEFENDANT: I am. THE COURT: Mr. Flynn, how do you plead to the charge in Count One of the Information, making false statements, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001; do you plead guilty or not guilty? THE DEFENDANT: Guilty, Your Honor. THE COURT: Are you entering this plea of guilty voluntarily and of your own free will? THE DEFENDANT: I am. THE COURT: Are you entering this plea of guilty because you are guilty and for no other reason? THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor. THE COURT: Defense counsel, do you know of any reason why the defendant should not plead guilty to the charge? MR. KELNER: No, Your Honor. Alrighty. Sounds totally innocent to me.

I don't want to tell you why it has been debunked because arguing with you has proven to be a complete waste of my time. I don't want to tell you because it might cause your head to explode. I don't want to tell you because I would also need to explain to you how to use Google search and how to interpret the results. I don't want to tell you because your one line reply is likely to be useless, ambiguous, difficult to decode, a change of topic, or some combination of the aforementioned. However, I am a merciful Usenet influencer, and will provide you with evidence of debunking, so that you will not feel abandoned by those who can differentiate between propaganda and the truth. Fact check: Claim of Chinese investment in Dominion Voting Systems confuses UBS subsidiaries https://news.yahoo.com/fact-check-claim-chinese-investment-144905735.html Fact check: Claim of Chinese investment in Dominion Voting Systems confuses UBS subsidiaries https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/01/23/fact-check-dominion-voting-systems-foreign-investment-claim-false/4038654001/ Too bad with all of your vast knowledge you don't know that actual Internet records can't be debunked. The actual manuals of the Dominion voting system cannot be debunked. The actual owners being identified as Chinese cannot be debunked. I prefer to disregard anything that claims to be irrefutable, absolute truth, devinely inspired, undeniable, undebatable or obviously true. But you're a True Believer so you wouldn't believe it if Joe Biden personally ordered to be assassinated. To your final breath you could claim that it was Trump. Since you can't quite prove your point, you seem to think that insulting your critics is a valid method of argumentation. Methinks otherwise. Goodness Gracious! You seem to be intent on defaming out resident pundit. Aren't you aware that he knows all, sees all and prevaricates all? And is the world renown expert in quite literally everything imaginable? And who, it might be noted is extremely adapt at changing the subject and/or insulting his audience when they fail to show the proper adoration for him and refuse to bow down him and display the proper respect for gems of truth that dribble from his lips? And, rather then attempting to destroy the "golden calf", as it were, it is better to simple disregard it. Or perhaps it can be said that while you may sweat and struggle to carry your tablets of stone down from the mountain a calf, whether golden or smelling of ****, can't read. -- Cheers, John B. |

The original accusation was a Logan Act violation. The charges were for a process crime of making conflicting statements to FBI agents without attorney present. One might see that as entrapment. You may not. As with Martha Stewart who was first accused of securities fraud but actually convicted of process crimes (she served a half year as I recall) the process is indeed the punishment. As regards Logan Act, I note here that Mr Kerry was never charged, while advising the Persians on strategy against The United States. Which takes us back to the subtheme subject again. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

Ms Clinton's uranium deal? Nothing to see here, just move along. Keep sighing. Libby was indicted by a special prosecutor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Fitzgerald He was convicted after a three week trial in front of a Bush appointed USDC judge. You can get all riled up at Fitzgerald for being too gung-ho, but that's a personal fault and not the evil hand of the Left. -- Jay Beattie. I'm not sure this is a discussion or a burning of heretics, real or imagined. Makes me, as a heretic, uncomfortable. James Comey, who already knew the 'leaker' of Ms Plame's employer was Armitage, appointed Fitzgerald as SP. Worse, Ms Plame had made no secret of her desk-jockey CIA job. So there was no actual 'security leak' and it wasn't Libby. We need not even get as far as the Brady Rule, but there's also that. Mr Plausible Deniability, a.k.a., 'Reinhold Niebuhr' on twitter, would deny that Fitzgerald knew. A distinction without a difference because Comey did. Comey believed that Libby would rat out[1] Mr Cheney for something, anything, if given the usual Justice Department deal ('99 years or sign this'). Mr Libby was made of sterner stuff, to their chagrin. [1]As they say about testimony in court, 'recite or compose' He was convicted of obstruction of justice and perjury -- and not for disclosing Plame's role in the CIA. Nobody was even charged for disclosing that, IIRC. You can blame an over zealous special prosecutor for pursuing perjury/obstruction charges, but this is hardly evidence of the evil Left "weaponizing lawfare." The outcome suggests a bad defense and not a liberal conspiracy. If there were Brady violations, the case should have been overturned on appeal, and there must have been enough admissible evidence to get twelve jurors to a unanimous verdict, which is no easy thing. Witnesses may lie, but that's what cross-examination is about -- and successful lying is the exception not the rule. Most in-court liars come off like Tommy Flanagan. -- Jay Beattie. I don't know a Tommy Flanagan but I am very familiar with Gen. Michael Flynn who suffered similarly and unjustly. This is the first search result: https://www.nytimes.com/2001/11/19/a...ead-at-71.html Couldn't find 'unjust conviction' or 'process crime' there. Flynn pleaded guilty. He was guilty.
