tangled web we weave

Fitzgerald doesnt want to use the espeonage act against libby because it might turn a unclear law into a national secrets law. Maybe hes right and that we shouldnt allow such a president to be set, but oh wait it already is being used in that fassion right now.

and Im pretty sure I got to cursor from the Rude Pundit.

Oh and I think we should have stuck with the term TreasonGate instead of PlameGate, just has a lot stronger ring to it.

So Fitz is unwilling to hit them with the treason charges but he did stop plea bargin talks saying that Libby must see serious jail time. I cant remeber where I read that and its obviously not an exact quote but it was close enough.
Acording to Fitz he cant try Libby on some of the serious crimes because he doesnt know the motive, state of knowledge, or intent of the leak, of course he doesnt know much of this because Libby lied. So if you murder someone, then just lie about it the whole time in court and all they can charge you with is perjury and false statements, What The Fuck kind of legal president is that? The other factor here is that the espionage act does not care about intent or motive, if you out an agent you broke the law. The Fact that a CIA operative died because of this leak doesnt seem to be effecting anyone in the slightest. They are still only charging him with lying about the crime not the crime itself.
