Marty Kaplan was eloquent [see below]. Now comes Christie Hardin Smith [on the Libby Trial]:
…Fascinating stuff. And it makes for a whole lot of questions and speculation, doesn’t it? Here’s to many, many more questions to come on all of this. Every last piece of this mess, every rock turned over and the festering masses hiding underneath expose to the disinfectant of public scrutiny, every last nuance and backroom deal and wink and nod from the media and failure to exact oversight by members of Congress. Every ass-covering handshake deal.
It will not be completed once this trial has concluded, not by half. But Fitzgerald and his team have set down a marker for the members of Congress to follow: the truth shall set you free. Here’s to more and more digging in the days and weeks to come. Because if we have learned nothing else from this horrific mess, let us learn this: oversight and accountability are exactly what Congress ought to be doing with its time, every damn day. No one, not even the President of the United States, gets a pass.
It is well past time for some accountability. Here’s to sunlight and the public. At long last.
