Mikaela intones:
Lewis "Scooter" Libby has resigned after being indicted for obstruction of justice and perjury in the Grand Jury investigation about the illegal uncovering of a CIA agent.
From NY Times transcript of Fitzgerald's Press Conference:
"The grand jury's indictment charges that Mr. Libby committed five crimes. The indictment charges one count of obstruction of justice of the federal grand jury, two counts of perjury and two counts of false statements."
Patrick Fitzgerald is the newest American hero.At the very least, he's a new one of mine. His plain-spoken and straightforward exposition of the initial results of his 2-year investigation enters him into the Pantheon of public figures who take on power and win for the little guy. Here's to justice.
Here's to a dark day in American history. Let's hope he's the first domino of the Emperor's Yes Men to take the fall, start the dominos of facts coming to light, and knocking down all the liars and players in the path that leads straight to the heart of the White House. What's at the center of this labrynth? We can only speculate. And fear.
