Give Rove Immunity from Prosecution!

[The Doctor.]

Wouldn't he just be the best source!

[BlooInBloo]

1. Er... maybe it would be better to start flipping from the *bottom*?

And see how much can be gotten before giving immunity to a principal?

[Mz Pip]

2. He'd still lie.

I wouldn't trust him to tell the truth about anything.

[The Doctor.]

7. I didn't say from perjury.

That's how it's done AFAIK.

They get immunity from prosecution for any crime they admit they committed within the scope of the investigation. That way, there's no reason for the deposed to lie... especially outside of the scope of discovery where perjury is still actionable.

Knowing this, the 'bottom' people who 'acted on orders' are interested in exonerating themselves, so they'll spew everything in search of leniency. After that, with the picture filled in, is where the guys at the top move to Paraguay only to find new extradition orders in place.

8. I concur. n/t

3. ROVE STARTED THE WAR FOR ELECTION PURPOSES

HE IS NOT CAPABLE OF HONESTY

4. waterboard him....

eom

[Subdivisions]

5. Intriguing idea. He's just the type to save his own ass

and sing like a birdie.

[The Doctor.]

12. Precisely.

If he has nothing to lose.

But then it occurs to me... does he believe that the whole will be exposed? If he's sure of it, he's GGL.

If he's not, then he'll just wet himself.

6. Katherine Harris might be a good source.

They threw her under the bus when they didn't need her any more (good) and she might be very eager to tell what she knows.

[Octafish]

9. No. It would encourage him to obfuscate Smirk and Sneer's roles.

Rove must first be punished. Once he's tasted life inside of a penitentiary, he'll talk.

[stillcool]

10. What an intriguing thought...

who would flip first?

[Jack Sprat]

11. not Rove. Never happen. n/t

[The Doctor.]

13. That's the point...

once the big fish is on the hook, all the little fish care about is keeping him there.

Oh... and putting all the other fish on every hook they find.

[hlthe2b]

14. I don't think he will tell the truth no matter what...

Why would he?... He is steeped in arrogance.

[B o d i]

15. Wouldn't that just encourage other people to be more willing to act like Rove has?

We don't want that, do we? Once was bad enough.

16. Charlie Manson would have been the best source of info against the family too

Rove is as much the target as Bush and can not be let out of the sights of justice to prosecute others, who are in effect underlings.

17. The 'architect' of the last 8 years going free? What a pantload.
