Where is Scooter when we really need him?

Oh yeah, he’s in commuted sentence supervised release jail with his professional credentials removed so he can not earn a living with his accumulated experience.

Not for committing the same crime the White House is potentially guilty of, but who cares?

Not the press, who has chosen to ignore such accepted truths as this from Wikipedia:

Criticism of investigation

On August 28, 2006, Christopher Hitchens asserted that Richard Armitage was the primary source of the Valerie Plame leak and that Fitzgerald knew this at the beginning of his investigation.^[131] This was supported a month later by Armitage himself, who stated that Fitzgerald had instructed him not to go public with this information.^[132] Investor’s Business Daily questioned Fitzgerald’s truthfulness in an editorial, stating “From top to bottom, this has been one of the most disgraceful abuses of prosecutorial power in this country’s history…The Plame case proves [Fitzgerald] can bend the truth with the proficiency of the slickest of pols.”^[133]

In September 2008, attorney Alan Dershowitz cited the “questionable investigation[s]” of Scooter Libby as evidence of the problems brought to the criminal justice process by “politically appointed and partisan attorney general[s].”^[134]

Sure some of the usual right wingers are trying to make something of nothing, kind of like the special prosecutor did for Libby. Everyone knew who disclosed the name of Valerie Plame and it was not Scooter Libby. Her own neighbor, friend and part time counsel says so in a touching personal tribute to the “lovely woman next door”. If she or anyone in the neighborhood are ever harmed, will he be indicted for declaring to the world that up to that point the “CIA has never,

But Libby went to jail for too much wiggling while trying not to get smeared with the Plame flaming, if done, was done by others.

Perhaps he could come back as a special prosecutor to waste millions of dollars to take our eyes off the prize of the budget by going after those who leaked the names of heroes of the Bin Laden Bin Bagged highlight of the Obama administration.

More from Wiki:

December 11, 2007, Bush issued 29 pardons but did not include Libby among them.^[23][24] As a consequence of his conviction in United States v. Libby, Libby’s license to practice law was suspended by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in December 2007.^[25] On April 3, 2007, the District of Columbia Bar suspended his license to practice law in Washington, D.C., and recommended his disbarment pending his appeal of his conviction.^[26][27] On March 20, 2008, after he dropped his appeal, he was disbarred by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, in Washington, D.C., at least until 2012.^[28]

He has direct, up close and personal experience to figure out how to eventually do something clever instead of proving the charges, like booking Big Al Capone for tax evasion instead of the direct crimes against the citizenry. The guilt of Libby is not in doubt, the crime is.

Or like the special prosecutor in the Lewinsky affair on the dress, divert treasure and time instead of plastering Clinton with as much disgrace as can be achieved by things such as a congressional censure and then, move on, one of the few positions of moveon.org I can fully embrace.

Here’s the deal. Let the White House off the hook in exchange for agreeing to step into the hot water with the opposition in order to solve a political budgetary gashing wound that can destroy the upward mobility of future generations, all to get greedily reelected on the very backs of the victim voters.

Sometimes I wish we could go back to those bad old days of smoke filled back room deals of the past. Giggle, who’s kidding who? There is more huffing and puffing going on today than ever. It’s enough to unhinge the high and mighty.

The Obama Administrations after quietly thanking their lucky stars on such helpful events to get elected, have equally quietly tried to keep it out of the press, again, according to Wikipedia. What an unlucky break Obama did not what any further investigation.

The Wilsons’ civil suit (from Wikipedia)

Main article: Plame v. Cheney

On July 13, 2006, Joseph and Valerie Wilson filed a civil lawsuit against Libby, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, and other unnamed senior White House officials (among whom they later added Richard Armitage)^[135] for their role in the public disclosure of Valerie Wilson’s classified CIA status.^[136] Judge John D. Bates dismissed the Wilson’s lawsuit on jurisdictional grounds on July 19, 2007.^{[137][138][139][140]} The Wilsons appealed Bates’s district-court decision the next day.^[141] Agreeing with the Bush administration, the Obama Justice Department argues the Wilsons have no legitimate grounds to sue. Melanie Sloan, one of the Wilsons’ attorneys, said: “We are deeply disappointed that the Obama administration has failed to recognize the grievous harm top Bush White House officials inflicted on Joe and Valerie Wilson. The government’s position cannot be reconciled with President Obama’s oft-stated commitment to once again make government officials accountable for their actions.”^[142]

Below is a rather strange personal and political opinion published in USA Today by friend, neighbor and attorney Christopher Wolf, of Valerie Plame and family while writing about the egregious disclosures that robbed the Wilsons of privacy and security:

So I was more than a little surprised that after Valerie was outed, the CIA did not (and never has) posted security at their house. Some neighbors are so jittery that they have called the police reporting people lurking in the bushes. One report produced a squad of police in our house as we arrived home, having entered through a back door inadvertently left unlocked.

I immediately realized the “outing” of Valerie as a covert CIA operative had had a devastating effect on the Wilson family. In the weeks to follow, I came to understand just how harrowing the disclosure was. Obviously, the identification of Valerie meant an end to her decades-long career. It also meant the country had lost an essential part of the services provided by someone who was an expert on weapons of mass destruction.

Much more than that, it meant — along with the danger faced by Valerie’s secret sources because of her exposure — the Wilson family was in danger. There is no shortage of crazies in the world who blame the CIA for their problems. What a tragedy that the Wilson kids cannot play in their yard without their parents having some degree of worry because of this episode.

So in the event of a worst case disaster, who will be blamed by the press.

Not the current White House.
