Can you help counter Fox's seemingly airtight case for Libby

[burythehatchet]

Brit Hume boiled down Fox's analysis as follows: The prosecutor had the power to not prosecute Libby, but he chose to do so. He could have chosen to not prosecute. That makes this case an ilegitimate prosecution.

1. Wow, that's some fancy lawyering, Brit!

[brettdale]

2. Well according to John Gibson

The case is in "the dustbin of history, no Fraud, end of story"

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

8. Sounds Fair and Balanced to me!

[chelsea0011]

3. No. I'll let Hume and his silliness stand on it's own.

[rocktivity]

4. Don't ALL prosecutors have that "right?"

And hopefully, don't they all choose what cased to prosecute based on their having enough evidence to WIN? I've heard of being anti-choice, but this is ridiculous!

:crazy:

5. The fact that its on FOX makes it look like swiss cheese ...

... nobody needs say another word, just point to who's pushing it & all credibility is gone.

[tabasco]

6. Is there a spot on the USSC opening up soon.?

Good enough for Boosh.

[donco6]

7. They always have the power not to prosecute.

The fact that he DID means he has enough evidence to win.

9. Damn there goes another good pair of Depends

at this rate...I'll by stock. :rofl:

[sendero]

10. You could say that..

... about any prosecution. It's semantic bullshit.

[sendero]

11. They could have chosen not to impeach..

.. Bill Clinton over nothing, but they didn't

[wishlist]

12. If a Dem Pres and VP had leaked/covered up, Repubs would've impeached

This is just one in a string of Bush Administration lies and coverups that would have brought strong media condemnation and calls for impeachment had the same things happened under a Dem White House.

I don't recall any protests by Repubs over Dem Martha Stewart going to jail for lying to Feds.

13. Oh my! Hume is slipping.

:rofl:

[pdxmom]

I'm taking this to mean that Libby is up a creek and Cheney is dog-

paddling along behind him.

[H2O Man]

14. That is actually

better than the defense that Team Libby is trying to use now.

Another point that Fox News might make, if Paul's grandfather from "A Hard Day's Night" were being interviewed, is that Mr. Fitzgerald is always taller than Scooter. Yet he still presses these charges.

15. If perjury is such a petty, illegitimate,

minor charge, why was it worth impeaching a President for? Brit?

[pk_du]

16. Marie - you're missing the point: In Faux - the "charge" is " Outing

a CIA undercover agent".....which no-one is actually charged with....so no-one can actually be guilty... " Looky here...shiny thinh , shiny thing..dont look at the nasty prosecutor accusing the nice man with lying to the FBI"

[Marie26]

17. Oooh, shiny! nt
