[malaise]

is going to win that civil suit against the Dick.
I can't wait. Justice is coming. That LIAR is going to be exposed finally. :popcorn:

[stop the bleeding]

1. We can only hope.

I will wait until it is done though before raising a glass to toast.

[rhett o rick]

19. Ooops, too late. What the hell, I will raise another glass then also. nt

4. I listened to Shuster

He said he's still amazed that Fitzgerald didn't charge him with perjury, because he's all over it. The problem he thought was that Scooter would have had to become a witness for the prosecution.

[emulatorloo]

6. What show was Schuster on? He did amazing Plame reporting on Hardballs at the time n/t

[malaise]

9. He was on Ed's show

I'm sure he'll be on KO and Rachel - this is HUGE!!!

[wroberts189]

8. ..and since Scooter got pardoned Fitz had no witness.. sigh.... thx nt

[emulatorloo]

11. tecbnically he wasn't pardoned. Sentence commuted. But that meant Fitz had nothing to bargain with

or threaten with.

[wroberts189]

13. Thanks for the correction.. yes.. no leverage. nt

[wroberts189]

20. ...adding because my edit expired.....

Following Libby's conviction, President George W. Bush commuted Libby's 30-month prison sentence but rejected Cheney's vehement appeals to pardon Libby.


A lying Dick: "Cheney told FBI he had no idea who leaked Plame ID"

14. 100% correct n/t

[BeHereNow]

3. You really think so?

I don't. The Dick is above the law in case you haven't noticed.

5. Not in this case

You know when I saw Holder with Obama at that 4.00am ceremony for the dead military men, I suspected it was about more than the DEA men who were killed in the helicopter crash.

change headline
Joe Wilson has a great case now. The Dick lied and everyone knows he lied.

[BeHereNow]

10. Well heck, we've known he lied for years-

We also have watched numerous outrageous crimes go
unpunished by those in the power elite circle.

Given that this particular clown is in fact at the top
of those circles, what makes you think he will face justice?
What has changed in the tide of corruption?

12. CIvil suits have different thresholds

I think the Wilsons have a good chance here. I hope I'm right.

[BeHereNow]

16. I hope you're right too- but I honestly believe if they found bodies in Cheney's car

he'd walk.

[malaise]

17. Can't blame you for thinking that way

Cheney should be in jail for war crimes by now.

[BeHereNow]

18. In jail along with countless other neo con corporatists and bankers.

Problem is, I don't know if we have enough prisons to hold them all.
Guess we could outsource their asses to some "black sites."
Now that's rendition I could support.

7. happy days are here again!!! i want some damned justice.

[butterfly77]

15. K&R!!!

[Canuckistanian]

21. Am I missing something?

I thought the civil suit was dismissed.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

23. I guess it's back?

[tmyers09]

22. Is this the "You Lie" Joe Wilson? Or is this a different one?

[malaise]

24. This is the good looking Joe Wilson

Valerie Plame's husband - the former Ambassador.

[tmyers09]

25. Gotcha. I've only been intensely following politics since the Obama election.

[annabanana]

26. Welcome to DU!

There's lots of interesting stuff in our archives... Pick a name & use the DU search!

[Dirty Hippie]

27. Maybe Joe and Valarie will get those nekkid Picassos

I bet they will display them rather than hide them from the grandchildren.

[Garbo 2004]

28. The Wilsons' suit was dismissed. SCOTUS refused to hear appeal.

So currently there is no civil suit.

"UPDATE ON THE WILSONS’ LAWSUIT

June 22, 2009:

Today the U.S. Supreme Court issued an order denying any further review and bringing to a close Valerie and Joseph Wilson’s civil lawsuit based on the unconstitutional actions of top Bush administration officials..." http://www.wilsonsupport.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=18&Itemid=31

As far as I can tell the release of Cheney's interview with the Feds changes nothing in terms of criminal or civil actions. The Feds already had/have the transcript so that's not news to them. As for civil remedies, the Wilsons' civil suit was dismissed by the courts. When the SCOTUS refused to hear their appeal of lower courts' rulings, that ended the case. To file another suit the Wilsons would have to base it on a different cause (causes) of action other those that were shot down by the courts in the first case. That suit also would have to get passed issues that were impediments that still remain and are unchanged by the release of Cheney's interview.
