NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER INDICTED FOR PERJURY AND OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE

Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald has announced charges of perjury and obstruction of justice against National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley in the investigation of the CIA leak. The two-count indictment against Hadley was unsealed at noon today. Hadley has been accused of lying to federal investigators and a grand jury investigating the outing of CIA covert operative Valerie Plame. Many bloggers from the left are celebrating the downfall of Mr. Hadley. Jason Leopold of Truthout.org has said, “Many view this as making up for Karl Rove escaping criminal charges.” It is rumored that Mr. Fitzgerald has another indictment sealed for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Hadley could face 30 years in prison if convicted. He has resigned from his position as National Security Adviser. President Bush has announced that he has accepted Hadley’s resignation. White House Press Secretary Tony Snow said when asked about the indictment that, “The investigation is on-going and we understand very well. National Security Adviser Hadley decided to leave so he could work things out.”

In other news, Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty has indicted former Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith today on espionage charges relating to a Pentagon case involving Israeli spies. Last year in September, McNulty indicted Pentagon analyst Larry Franklin for passing classified information to the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee. It is believed that Feith was somehow implicated in this.

This week plus last week with the indictments of 25 Republican lawmakers in the Abramoff and “Duke” Cunningham scandals add up to one of the worst months for the Bush Administration and the GOP. Should the Democrats regain control of Congress in the November elections (which is looking more likely with each passing day), many congressional investigations will ensue. And there are many matters to be looked into for certain, such as the NSA domestic spying, Downing Street Memos and Iraq intelligence, intelligence leaks, the Plame case and cover-ups of documents from Vice President Cheney’s Energy Task Force.

Fitzgerald is still getting cooperation in his investigation. Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage is believed to have provided him with all the vital information necessary for the investigation. Larry Franklin is believed to be cooperating with McNulty’s investigation of the Israeli espionage case. Many other individuals besides Feith are rumored to be involved.

It is interesting to see where all these current investigations lead. Should the House and Senate go Democratic in November, 2007 looks to be a very entertaining year.
