My prediction on Sampson testimony coming true - he's taking most of fall

[blm]

where he can, and softening the fall for Gonzales and Rove where he can.

The media HYPE about this guy being dangerous to WH because he would tell the truth was pure manipulation. By overselling the threat of his testimony they created a greater media focus for when he takes the brunt of the fall.


My post on a Sampson thread:

13. I think Sampson is going to TRY and take the fall and the more media covering it


the better for BushInc.

This hoopla about Sampson testifying voluntarily and promising to tell the WHOLE truth, was more campaign strategy.

During 2004 election, Rove would get alot of interest and TV cameras whenever they would drop the hint that someone like Tommy Franks or Gen. Schwarzkopf or Nancy Reagan wouldn't support Bush. That rumor would spread through the media for about a week and then it would make the endorsement rally itself way BIGGER as a media story. Because the media will have already ginned up a storyline about how HUGE a deal it would be if that particular GOP figure turned against Bush, so it heightened the story that should have been another humdrum endorsement.

Considering that Sampson's lawyer is another political shill for BushInc, I expect all the media attention is being ratcheted up to try and END the story today when Sampson attempts to get the buck to stop with him.

And reap the BIG BUCK REWARDS at a later time.

2. Yes, he's a tool. Bet he was promised a high status job.

I'm disgusted with the constant "I don't know" and "I can't remember" meme.

IMO he's republican RNC present #1 butt boy - most smarmy. :thumbsdown:

3. There is hope...

Some of the things he is saying...will provide hope that the subpeonas will be issued. For example, AG says he was not involved in the process. Sampson says he was. That means AG lied, unfortunately, I think he just lied to the public at large and not to Congress specifically, or did AG make any direct statements to Congress regarding this matter?

5. Somebody got to him

the horse head was delivered.

What an idiot--doesn't he realize there will be enough external evidence from other people against him to fry him?

These idiots just seem to like laying on train train tracks.

8. How can this administration be worth your career, credibility,

self respect, dignity...this guy is a laughing stock.

9. They have no ethics. They will be taken care of financially, no matter what.

Ollie North showed the way. You can lie, cheat, steal, subvert, commit treason, and you will STILL be considered a hero to the segment of the country that keeps these thugs afloat.
