Will the Bush administration be able to cover up the Libby scandal or will it implode in a wave of scandal?

Answer 1

Hmm, Junior Bush seems to be a teflon pRez like Raygun and Iran-Contra and October Surprise. There have been scandals galore since he was installed in the White House and nothing seems to bring him down.

Bush ignores a warning on 8/6/01 that Bin Laden is determined to strike and 3000 Americans perish? Bush is AWOL on 9/11/01 and no one holds him responsible? Bush tries to overthrow Venezuela? A male prostitutes visits the WH 100 times and gets a press pass? The Downing Street memo proves the facts were fixed around the goal of going to war with Iraq? Cheney's Haliburton is getting billions in no bid contracts? Billions of dollars are missing from the Pentagon? Bush lets NOLA drown? Cheney and Rove out a CIA NOC because her husband tells the truth about Iraqi WMD? I can't even remember all of the scandals there are so many...

I hope it happens but my cynical mind says it won't.

Answer 2

Don't know just how bad it will get, but, I still think that the main big mouth was Tricky Dicky Cheney. I have no doubt about that what so ever. He was the man who told Libby the facts about Mrs. Wilson. He wanted Libby to get back at her husband for uncovering a scam that was not. Yeah, I tell you something Libby and you make certain that it gets out to all the news papers and TV stations. We will teach that scum bag a thing or two. Thats Cheney. Now the only question is, will Libby and others have the b**ls to tell the truth and put the blame on the guilty party???

Answer 3

The sun is like disinfecting light, and the administration has gone to a lot of trouble to keep most of its business in the dark, away from the people.

There's already a scandal here, it's just on slow-burn and half the population too mired in partisanship to see it.

But, I think that Patrick Fitzgerald is very smart... and he seems to be pulling on the threads slowly to try to trip people up.

The big problem that the neo-cons have is that deep down, they're all in it for their own purposes. They're wolves and they have no problem tossing one of their own to the hunters if it gives them a little more time. Loyalty dies quickly in that circumstance, and the knife stays in the back forever.

So it's just a matter of time... history makes it impossible to keep the sunlight out forever.

I think when we truly see the magnitude of what this administration has done, history will show these 8 years as a dark time... as juxtaposed to the previous 8 years as the dark ages are juxtaposed to the enlightment. We'll find out that for the past 6 years, America stopped being America for a short period of time...

This is only the beginning. The real job is to expose the entire conservative apparatus for what it truly is so that they all crawl into their holes and their rhetoric never again sees the light of day.

We need to put a stake in the heart of Fascism, once and for all.

Answer 4

It should be interesting to find out!

I believe it will be sewed up pretty neatly to keep the house of cards from falling apart much like the JFK assassination-the Cuban missile crisis-Watergate-Iran Contra & the Clinton scandal(if he had gone quietly he could have saved the country alot of money) and now Libby!

All of these things are tied together with the movement towards a New World Order! The problem seems to be that political parties are trying to position themselves as to who will sit at the head of the table of this new global administration!
Also even politicians are human and suseptible to human sins!
Greed and stupidity occurs in both parties!

Answer 5

Who knows…the Bush Administration has been quite good at covering up scandals in the past..but this one’s going to be really interesting…MSNBC (link) reported that, Dick Cheney was responsible for the Valerie Plame leak. Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said in his opening statement that it was Dick Cheney who told Skooter Libby that Valerie Plame was an agent for the CIA. According the report:
FItzgerald also said, in his opening statement, that Libby destroyed a note written by Cheney just prior to the FBI began their interview with him during their initial investigation.
Libby's lawyers fired back alleging that the Bush administration hung him out to dry. Libby asserts that he was thrown on the sword by the Bush administration as they were covering for Rove's disclosures.
Boy-oh-boy... this is fun! It's like the movie-of-the-week. You have crafty defense lawyers spinning a plausible defense, while the prosecutor is alleging that Libby was merely protecting his master.
Bottom line: Cheney sure is slick....

Answer 6

A wave of scandal, I hope they get Bush, Cheney , Rove and the whole Republican Administration.

Answer 7

So far Cheney's name has been testified against by three of his own workers. Keep in mind that the defense has not been at bat yet. Also, Fitzgerald is a conservative and seems reluctant to go after Cheney in the same manner he has Libby.

Answer 8

The most they can get Libby for is perjury. Even if they find him guilty, they can't go any further. Unless Libby starts singing like a caged bird, then they can go to town.

Answer 9

the incontrovertible fact that his brother's state of Florida stole the election for him. I even have on no account depended on the yankee election device via fact then. Bush became on no account elected via the human beings to be the president, he became appointed via the court docket. What a cheat! It in simple terms foreshadowed what we've been in for. quite some establishing good previous boys to workplaces they weren't experienced or executed sufficient to accomplish nicely. those 2 disfunctions of yankee regulations have been the commencing up of the mess we are in right this moment. (of course there is 9/eleven, Afganistan and Iraq yet all of this is particularly small potatoes pondering he shouldn't in any respect have been president in any respect!)

Answer 10

I hope it implodes, more entertaining that way.
