Gonzales testimony a sign Plamegate investigators targeting Oval Office

[lancdem]

That's what investigative journalist Wayne Madsen says in his most recent email, today:

"(Gonzales) does not act as the President's private lawyer but as the cousel for the Executive Branch. He may have invoked executive privilege before the Grand Jury but he can't invoke lawyer-client privilege as a government employee.

This is more of an indication that the Oval Office is a target of the prosecutor."

1. Something's about to come down that's for sure

this could get really interesting. There is so much buzz around that we all know something big is about to break. This could be it!

2. Dum da dum dum

You have the right to remain silent mr. resident. Anything you say might be used against you in a court of law.

3. Please, PLEASE make shrub do a "perp" walk. I've been waiting

four years to see that little bit of justice taken care of. Put a tag on his ankle and confine him to that pig farm in Crawford pending trial.

4. Cheney's out ...McCain new V.P. ?

Chimpy falls upward again !

[I thought so.]

5. No way.

MCcain has already filed for re-election.

6. It sounds like Bush is being targeted as well as Cheney

BTW, if Cheney were going to resign, why wait till the indictments? Wouldn't it be better to get out BEFORE that?

7. Will the prosecutor use any of the

means now available through the Patriot Act?

8. Heresay is admissible in Grand Juries

They could have flat asked him what Bush asked him about that prompted Gonzales to suggest getting private counsel. They probably didn't, and Gonzales wouldn't have answered on some pretext or another, but they could have.

9. I am almost literally holding my breath.

There was a time not long ago when I felt that I would not be satisfied until I saw Bush and the whole neocon gang tried for treason and their involvement in the events of 9/11 -- anything less not being true justice.

At this point, however, I want those fuckers out of the Executive branch so bad I don't care WHAT actions are brought against them. I just want them GONE!!

I'm waiting on pins and needles here.
