Libby Pressured McClellan To Issue Statement
'Exonerating Him’
Another piece of interesting information buried in yesterday’s filing by Patrick Fitzgerald: Scooter Libby “implored White House officials to have a public statement issued exonerating him” even though “had in fact played in disclosing Ms. Wilson’s CIA employment.”

He went so far as giving Press Secretary Scott McClellan a (somewhat poetic) hand-written note:



According to Fitzgerald, on October 4, 2003, “as a result of defendant’s request” McClellan told the press corps he had talked to Libby, Karl Rove and Elliot Abrams and “those individuals assured me that they were not involved in this.”

That statement continues to haunt McClellan to this day.

2. Ol' Scooter's quite the poet, isn't he?

3. *poof* goes McClellan

Can even give one more press conference, after this has come to light?

4. Why didn't Libby write a haiku for Puffy to read?

:rofl: Ohh--this is truly turning into a good day!

5. I'm confused

Who supposedly wrote this note? Libby? And he refers to himself in the third person?

He should be indicted for that in addition to any other high crimes he may have committed.
