Reply #4: Steve Soto: Are Bush/Rove Ready To Throw Cheney Under The Bus On Plame? [View All]

[understandinglife]

You’ll recall that Scooter’s recent defense to Patrick Fitzgerald’s claim that Scooter testified he was authorized to leak classified information was that he wasn’t directed to leak Valerie Plame’s identity.

So much for that defense. reports today that not only was Scooter authorized by the president through Shooter to leak classified information from the 2002 NIE, but was also authorized by Cheney to leak a still-classified CIA summary report on Joe Wilson’s Niger trip. This shreds any claim by Scooter or Shooter that there is no connection between the leaking of the NIE and the outing of Valerie Plame.

But when you read Waas’s piece, note what a “senior administration official” now say about the Vice President, and the environment he created, and then you may conclude as I did that someone close to the Oval Office is throwing Dick under the bus to firewall W. ...

I think Steve's thesis is likely and that Bush knows he's gonna be prosecuted for giving the order to commit treason (irony being that he unilaterally declared war and has continued to state that we are at war).

It really is just a matter of which of them (Bush and Cheney) rolls on the other, first. Perhaps that's already happened.

Hint. Hint. Georgie and Dickie -- if you haven't done it yet, the one who rolls first might just be able to cop something less than the death penalty for treason. Hint. Hint.
