Anybody can be conned…but not everybody enjoys it like a Clinton/Obama voter
After reverting to type and submitting to the Clintons, most of you probably already have James Comey’s “number.” However an article today in American Thinker reminds us of his connection to another miscarriage of justice. The article is as accurate an accounting of the “Valerie Plame/Scooter Libby miscarriage of justice one will find. There are, of course, many more gory details but they do nothing to make Patrick Fitzgerald, James Comey, or George W. Bush look any better.
The articles detailed review of the actual facts (don’t look for “actual” or “facts” on the Wikipedia rendering) reveal a great deal about how we got to the awful place America is today.
As to George W, Bush, this was one of the first revealing events in his tenure to indicate what a phony he and his entire family have been shown to be by their behavior over the years since he left office, and most notably the family’s close relationship with the Clintons.
As far as James Comey is concerned, the Plame affair was a clear testimony to what a craven, lightweight, political hack he is.
My personal conclusion about the Bushes is…we were had! DLH
Scooter Libby Reinstated to the Bar By Clarice Feldman
The Daily Caller reports that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has reinstated Lewis (Scooter) Libby’s license to practice law, eight years after he was disbarred as a result of his conviction in connection with what became known as “Plamegate.”
If you have forgotten the details of the preposterous proceedings against him initiated by James Comey’s appointed counsel, Patrick Fitzgerald, here’s a primer. In short he was convicted of having a different memory of conversations than the late Tim Russert and Matt Cooper, the husband (since separated) of Mandy Grunwald, then and now a close Hillary Clinton aide, months after these conversations occurred. While it has often been misreported that he leaked the name of CIA agent Valerie Plame, the leaker was Colin Powell’s Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, something known to Fitzgerald from the outset. Whether Comey was apprised of this fact or when is not known.
The Daily Caller quotes former US Attorney Joe DiGenova on this development:
Washington D.C.-based former U.S. Attorney Joe DiGenova believes the Libby decision is a “terrible blow” to FBI Director James Comey, who announced Sunday that the agency had no new conclusions on Hillary Clinton and her private server from the 650,000 new emails found on Anthony Weiner’s laptop.
“Scooter Libby was restored to the practice of law by the DC court of appeals because they believed that Scooter Libby presented evidence that his original trial had been corrupted by false testimony. And that false testimony was coerced by Jim Comey’s friend Patrick Fitzgerald and Comey was part of the team to destroy the vice president of the United States and it didn’t happen,” DiGenova said.
