Holy Crap: My Pre-Indictment Stress Syndrome is Acting Up

by BooMan
Tue Oct 18th, 2005 at 04:35:58 PM EST

Had lunch today with a person who has a direct tie to one of the folks facing indictment in the Plame affair. There are 22 files that Fitzgerald is looking at. These include Stephen Hadley, Karl Rove, Lewis Libby, Dick Cheney, and Mary Matalin (there are others of course). Hadley has told friends he expects to be indicted. No wonder folks are nervous at the White House.

after asking whether Larry meant 22 counts against an unknown number of people, Larry told me:

My understanding is that Fitzgerald has identified 22 people who could be indicted. They all could be indicted and none could be indicted. My friend told me that Hadley fully expects he will be indicted.

If Larry is right, this will be the biggest political event since Nixon resigned.

Update [2005-10-18 17:8:30 by BooMan]: US News & World Report

Sparked by today's Washington Post story that suggests Vice President Cheney's office is involved in the Plame-CIA spy link investigation, government officials and advisers passed around rumors that the vice president might step aside and that President Bush would elevate Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

"It's certainly an interesting but I still think highly doubtful scenario," said a Bush insider. "And if that should happen," added the official, "there will undoubtedly be those who believe the whole thing was orchestrated – another brilliant Machiavellian move by the VP."

Said another Bush associate of the rumor, "Yes. This is not good."

Oh I think alot of the indictments will go down but how long will it take Bush pull off a blanket pardon? Do they have to be convicted before he can do that? If so the trials will take at least a couple years. We would have to really string them out so that he could not pardon everyone while still in his throne.

Rice Confirmation Hearings (4.00 / 2)

This would be outstanding political theater! Yeah, Bush can blanket pardon everyone to avoid airing all the dirty laundry in trials but it would all come out anyway during confirmation hearings for anyone he chose as replacements.

I don't care how many terra-terra-terra alerts they staged, no one in the media will talk about anything else if Fitz comes out with 22 indictments. And, who's to say Condi won't be one of them...

Actually, on a fearful note, they might have to launch a for-real terra-attack to deflect this shit from national attention. Hope I'm not being a buzz-killer. Sheesh. I just creeped myself out.

You know, they gave the Medal of Freedom to Tenet and Bremer. What could they possibly do to honor the members of WHIG if they get indicted?

I'm betting there's a strong chance they'll all be pardoned. Well, everyone except for the snitch. Does anyone disagree? It would be disastrous for Bush if he did it, but having a trial and airing all his administration's lies in public might be even worse.

Play New Indictment Game! (4.00 / 3)

Directions: Add names to the indictment list. No fair using one's Larry's given.

First: Michael Ledeen, Wilson's "pretty close" to it forger of the Niger letter.

Then this list -- the members of Donald Rumsfeld's intelligence manipulators. A group known by various names, including the "B-Team" and the Wurmser-Maloof Project. But more formally known as the Counter Terrorism Evaluation Group. Members include:

Harold Rhode, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, David Wurmser, Richard Perle, F. Michael Maloof, and Donald Rumsfeld.

These are the folks who brought you the "evidence" that Iraq was producing and had produced WMDs, primarily nuclear. They are also the propaganda mouth-organ for linking Saddam Hussein to terrorism, even perping the 9/11 attack.

Having fun? Why not add others who, in some capacity, served as Minions of the Manipulated Message, perhaps:

William Luti, Andrew Marshall, Karen P. Hughes, John Bolton, and Bernard Lewis.

Now you get the idea. Why not play along? For those who like gambling, start a pool.

Merry Fitzmas! (none / 0)

Over at the orange place, Georgia10 has been front-paged with her top ten suggestions for dealing with Fitzmas. Definitely full of belly laughs and almost as cool as the PISS meme started here.

I just can't stop grinning but I'll take her advice and go about my business tomorrow which takes me out in the boondocks, far, far away from media input. If I was Fitz, I'd wait until 5pm anyway to maximize my impact on the evening news...

Dana Milbank told Keith that if Cheney resigns he will eat his shoe with ketchup and mustard on camera. If Cheney actually does resign I will bake up a shoe-shaped Challah bread for Dana...

We've been on this merrygo round already (none / 0)

The 22 indictments has been floating for about a week or ten days (time flies when you are in PISS). It comes down to this. If Fitz goes for the conspiracy, there are close to two dozen persons in the dock. This means that he was able to widen the investigation to the whole WHIG operation, which means in effect the whole war. There was some discussion whether the 22 referred to counts or individuals. We still don't know. I'm hoping for individuals. How satisfying it would be to see Bolton and Rice -- such bosom buddies as we know -- walking down the aisle handcuff in handcuff. A perfect couple.
