More Fitzmas Miracles to Come?
John Dean, who knows a thing or two about crimes and cover-ups in the highest level of government, has written a truly fascinating analysis of the Libby indictment and Fitzgerald press conference.
Dean, who immediately before Fitzgerald indicted Libby predicted that no one would be indicted and Fitz would close up shop, had this to say:
Now, however, one indictment has been issued -- naming Vice President
Cheney's Chief of Staff Lewis "Scooter" Libby as the defendant, and charging
false statements, perjury and obstruction of justice. If the indictment is to be
believed, the case against Libby is, indeed, a clear one.
Having read the indictment against Libby, I am inclined to believe more will be issued. In fact, I will be stunned if no one else is indicted.
Indeed, when one studies the indictment, and carefully reads the transcript of the press conference, it appears Libby's saga may be only Act Two in a three-act play. And in my view, the person who should be tossing and turning at night, in anticipation of the last act, is the Vice President of the United States, Richard B. Cheney.
Dean does a close reading of the indictment and notes that a lot of irrelevant and extraneous stuff is in there, UNLESS there's more to come. Dean thinks Fitzgerald is trying to prove a violation of the Espionage Act and a conspiracy between Libby and Cheney. It's definitely worth a read.
