If Bush knows who the leaker is, and he didn't take it directly to Fitz

[Walt Starr]

Could that be considered obstruction of justice?

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

1. yes

but Chimpy thinks he's above the law.

[William769]

8. He doesn't think, he's above the law.

He thinks, he is the law!

[Quakerfriend]

2. I've been wondering the same thing.

:shrug:

[newscott]

3. Since he's already been interviewed about it, I would say so.

But he can't be indicted. At least that's what precedent says.

[in_cog_ni_to]

4. BUT...HE CAN BE IMPEACHED.

and SHOULD BE.

[Avalux]

5. But this is different than any precedent

I would think there would be a way to indict him (at least I hope they'd try).

[Walt Starr]

7. Actually, there is no precedent from any court on that

The only precedent is an opinion written by the White House Counsel during Nixon's administration.

That would be Robert Bork who wrote it.

No decision from any court in the land so there is no precedent.

also, he may have lied to a federal officer.

6. And didn't he say publicly that he welcomed the investigation because

he wanted to find out who the leaker was? Could have saved a lot of time and money right then and there by telling the truth.

[Drifter]

9. Not to mention ...

that he went on the TV, promising to find the Leaker. "I want to know who Leaked".

Then, he un-arguably Lied and Mislead not only the American People, but the Justice Department, that he openly mocked on national television.

Cheers

[unblock]

12. yeah, but he didn't wag his finger, so it's ok

although he might still be in trouble if he got a blowjob from the leaker....

[Patsy Stone]

14. OJ's still looking for the "real" murderer too. n/t

[Catherine Vincent]

10. I don't know if I trust Novak and this comment he made about Bush.

For months he didn't say much about the investigation, only a couple of articles in the Chicago Tribune. Now all of a sudden he lets out this nugget about Bush knowing who his sources were. Is he (along with the republican machine) up to something? What gives?

[Walt Starr]

13. That's why I used the word "If"

Hopefully, he does and Fitzx can prove it.

:evilgrin:

[leftofthedial]

11. yup

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

15. Unfortunately,

"because Bob Novak says so" isn't particularly strong evidence in and of itself.

[peacetalksforall]

16. We are being run by criminals who have NO regards for us. We are

the most hypocritical government in all of history because they brag, distort, lie, defuse, confuse, cheat, and propagandize us and all of the world.
