john dean says both pres and vice pres. have hired outside attorneys signifying they know more than they are letting on since if they talked to govt attorneys their notes could be subpoenaed...gulp is this old news? says this info comes from the scuttlebutt of attorneys involved.

1. We've known for ages that they took on outside attorneys and refused to go

under oath. However it is nice to remind us because it does help to out the seriousness of it all in perspective for us as we await the indictments. :)

4. And again I make my case

That their oath of office should extend to EVERY conversation that they have that deals with their elected offices. They shouldn't have to be re-sworn.

7. I can't disagree with that.

2. Yes - way way back at least june 2004.

WASHINGTON - President Bush said Thursday he has consulted a private attorney in case he is interviewed or forced to testify about who may have leaked the name of a covert CIA operative to the media last summer.

"I met with an attorney to determine whether or not I need his advice and if I deem I need his advice I’ll probably hire him," the president told reporters.

There was no indication that Bush is a target of the grand jury investigation, but the president added that "I want to know the truth and I’m willing to cooperate myself."

8. then why would he not consult a justice dept attorney

[fearnobush]

11. Because as Ken Star had done - a Govt attorney can have the

attorney client privilege revoked.

14. exactly...but if you have nothing to hide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

like yuhhhh. i guess that is the point of this post

[blm]

10. WE knew about it but broadcast media didn't DISCUSS it much at all.

Y'see, there were these swift vets, and.......you do know that Bush can't be beat on the terror issue, don't you?

[fearnobush]

12. Oh but I thought it was called the "Struggle Issue" now.

Chimpies Struggle on terror.

5. Hi Angel!

I'm hoping and praying for this.

Today was a bit of a letdown, with CAFTA getting thru.

6. Actually by the time

the Repugs smear campaign is over, they'll be dragging Fitzgerald off in chains to the Federal pen.

9. Didn't Dean write about this in Jan 2004 or thereabouts?

I know he's been recapping all this stuff on the FindLaw site...

[ooglymoogly]

16. but the point he is making is sooooo important

by this action idiot is in effect admitting his complicity in treason.

[Gloria]

17. Yes, it IS important...and I meant to stress that Dean was prescient

in seeing how things could unfold....

[walldude]

15. Yep old news.. check out when Bush got himself an attorney

it was right after Ashcroft resigned and the case went over to Fitzgerald... I'll see if I can find a link to that story, but I found that to be pretty telling.
