If Bush outted Plame, the Plamegate story is over [View All]

[Walt Starr]

It is the president's prerogative to reveal classified information, basically declassifying it.

The only way there is no crime is if this information was declassified under orders of Bush.

Edited to clarify:

The "gate" story is over. The investigation will end except for tying up loose ends of perjury and obstruction, but nobody would be charged witht eh crime of outting a CIA agent.

The story about abuse of power for political gain would just begin. while probably not a prosecutable offense because it's the president, it would certainly be an impeachable offense.
