1. Gotta love this from the Order of Immunity

EXCEPT THAT THE ABOVE DOES NOT IMMUNIZE THE SAID
LAWRENCE ARI FLEISCHER AGAINST CHARGES OF PERJURY GIVING FALSE STATEMENT OR OTHERWISE
FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THE ORDER OF THE COURT

Thanks for posting this

[lovuian]

3. Yes but Ari Fleischer outed a CIA Agent knowingly

I'm not to happy about this Immunity

but if it was needed to nail Libby then OK

but Fitz better come up with more convictions than
Libby

I'm still waiting for Fitz to nail Cheney and Rove

Cathie seems to me Not recollecting very much
and seems to protect Cheney

she's a real scummy character
hidden but questioned more than anybody so far

[CorpGovActivist]

4. High Marks to Fitzgerald's Staff for Keeping This...

... so up to date, huh?

The terms of Fleischer's immunity deal look like a pretty short leash.

10. What did Ari give them that demanded Immunity

Did his testimony nail Scooter?
I'm a Fitz fan just trying to make sense of things

Ari violated the law just wondering was the immunity worth it?

11. Dicey Play, As Fitzgerald Himself Conceded

16. Not fully known

But, Ari felt he was in enough danger (real or perceived) and decided to sing. As Fitz said, he didn't know what he would get (and we still don't know what he got), but he probably felt comfortable enough after the proffer that whatever all of it was, it was worth forgiving Ari for telling Gregory, Dickerson, and the female reporter from Newsweek(?).

Today Ari told the jury that Libby not only told him about Plame before Libby supposedly heard it from Russert, he also told them that Libby knew she was in CPD, and Libby used her name. That's a lot of nails in Libby's coffin. Well worth it if you were only going after Libby, maybe more so if your plans are to go higher.

Big, big chess game.

[emulatorloo]

17. yes his testimony nailed scooter.

Ari testified that Scooter told him JULY 7th that Plame worked in non-proliferation at the CIA and that was "hush hush"

Scooter had claimed he learned about plame from Tim Russert several days later. Which was a big fat lie.

18. One of the best documents ever.

I plan to make it my wallpaper.

30. Bolli? Stoli? Bolli Stoli?

All around!

31. Both! Here's Scooter's weird goodbye letter to Ari.

Now I can see why Scoots' handwriting was an issue in some of the pre-trial discovery! Jeez.

33. Weird goodbye or plea for continued future complicity/coverup?

Last line,

"Will still count on you to ride to our rescue whenever the going gets tough."

Hmmm...

[Patsy Stone]

35. Can Aspens ride horses?

Who the heck knows what this is. :)

2. Scooter's certification in response to GJ subpoena dated 1/22/04 is interesting.

He specifies "the subpoenas that relate to phone records." Jennifer Mayfield (executive assistant to the Chief of Staff at the time) is also suspect. What were they trying to hide?

9. I Feel Sorry for "Rocky" - Ari's Hairdresser

http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/iln/osc/exhibits/0129/GX05001.PDF

Ari Fleischer isn't exactly a walking advertisement for the well-coifed set.

:rofl:

[Tatiana]

13. Ohhhh you're a naughty one!

Rocky doesn't have much to work with, does he? :rofl: And, what hairstylist/barber has a name of "Rocky?"

These people are such characters.

[troubleinwinter]

20. Well,

my husband's hair dresser's name was Jack Knuckles.

[Rex]

5. The RW blowhards are shitting all over themselves today!

Trying hard to keep their brain-dead followers from finding out! :rofl:

[malaise]

6. Can't wait for KO tonight

Yum Yum

7. TDS should be good too.

Can't imagine what Colbert will do.

8. I'll probably be sleeping

have a busy morning tomorrow

[conscious evolution]

12. Who could this be?

snip....THAT IS IN RE JOHN
DOE GRAND JURY 0335 ....

John Doe?

[bleever]

21. I do believe that this John Doe is I. Liar Libby himself.

Pre-indictment.

[G_Leo_Criley]

22. um...

Cranky hisself, I think.

:scared:

[bleever]

23. We can hope,

if by Cranky, you mean "I'm vice-president and they're not".

Either way, the ground beneath him is giving way.

[G_Leo_Criley]

25. absolutely

THAT cranky.

[Patsy Stone]

27. John "Scooter" Doe?

:)

[bleever]

29. Or,

I. John D'OH!

[AndyTiedye]

14. Please! Please!

15. KnR !! Thanks, Dave. n/t

19. Do I understand that this is important because Ari exposed

Plame's identity to the public? And or can you explain if the significance of this is that this goes deep and high up. I did read a couple of days ago that Cheney asked for the White House spokesman to address the press for Libby in the same way that they did to get suspension off of Rove. Well anyways, maybe the purpose of the site you reference is to reveal the heavy heart that Fitzgerald had with giving A.F. immunity. Well, I might not understand all the moves going on or why but I appreciate the updates on this trial.

[Garbo 2004]

24. It's important because Libby claimed by early July he'd forgotten that he knew about Plame and her

employment at the CIA. (Yeah right and the dog ate his homework.) But here's Libby telling Ari on July 7 what Libby claims he didn't "remember that he knew." Libby had told Fed investigators and the grand jury that he first knew about Plame on July 10 when Libby claims Tim Russert told him about Wilson's wife. (Russert denies that he and Libby ever discussed Plame.)

Ari's testimony shows that Libby was giving out the Plame info on July 7, at a time when Libby claims he had "forgotten" the info. Judy Miller will testify next and (if her testimony is consistent with her grand jury testimony) will say that the very next day, July 8, Libby was again telling her that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA. (He'd also told her that at a meeting on June 23).

As Fitz told the jury in his opening statement, "You can't learn something on Thursday that you're giving out on Monday." Which is why Libby's on trial for lying and perjury.

[G_Leo_Criley]

26. lying to investigators and perjury

Yes, and Fitz and co. are doing a fine job! :toast:


Can't wait to hear what Ms. Judy has to say tomorrow.

[Laurier]

28. Hey thanks!

I love reading the originating docs instead of just third/fourth/fifth/sixth hand stories in the MSM.

[radfringe]

32. all roads are leading to Cheney

in one route or another - it's pointing at Cheney as the leaker behind the leak

[liberalla]

34. It's a beautiful thing!

I hadn't looked at it in awhile - thanks for reminding me. What a contrast to other Government agencies/websites who are pulling things down and hiding documents from the public.

It's good to see you're doing better and posting again. May I ask about IdesofOctober? Haven't seen any mention of him recently.

[CorpGovActivist]

36. Open Government...

... is always nice to see, I agree.

Ides is fine.
