Those of us who aren’t lawyers have been at a disadvantage lately. What’s being reported in the Libby case certainly sounds like Scooter in getting in deeper every day. It appears like his lawyers are being outlawyered at every turn, but who knows? <\/p>\n
Certainly, in the pending Rove matter, the waters couldn’t be muddier. As mentioned in my last post, the idea that Mr. Rove is actually innocent of wrongdoing in the Plame Affair seems ludicrous to me. His changing excuses, at least the ones we know about, are about as convincing as the fourth grader who says, "The dog ate my homework." He’s the admitted source of several of the leaks; he’s Bush’s Brain; and he’s a total sociopath. So we not-lawyers have a hard time understanding the nuances of things that leave any doubt that he should be indicted.<\/p>\n
What I do understand is that he’s tricky, he’s gotten away with murder, and he’s a high level official. What I don’t understand is how he’s still skirting indictment now three years after the dirty deed. I hope the reason is that Patrick Fitzgerald is aiming to get to the bottom [or top] of this tawdry epic in our history. But, Lordy, this waiting is fraying a lot of nerves. It’s like a season finale that leaves us hanging until the next season, and the season after that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
