Sure he does as does most of the rest of the Bush white house.
In the Bush administration "the negation of truth is so systematic. Dishonest accounting, willful scientific illiteracy, bowdlerized federal fact sheets, payola paid to putative journalists, 'news' networks run by right-wing apparatchiks, think tanks devoted to propaganda rather than thought, the purging of intelligence gatherers and experts throughout the bureaucracy whose findings might refute the party line -- this is the machinery of mendacity...The point here is not the hypocrisy involved, though that is egregious. The point is the downgrading of truth and honesty from principles with universal meaning to partisan weapons to be sheathed or drawn as necessary. No wonder the Bush administration feels no compunction to honor the truth or seek it; it conceives truth as a tactic, valuable only insofar as it is useful against one's enemies

These are hardly jail able offenses. Especially since there is no evidence he revealed Valerie Plame's name that was Libby. US attorneys serve at the pleasure of the president. No law against politicizing goverment office. If everyone who dealt with Jack Abramoff were in jail half of the congress would be in jail. No proof of his violating email rules.

No, only because of fact there's a witch hunt for the guy does no longer advise he's accountable of something..do you or human beings rather need to pass down the line of all previous Admins being appeared at to make certain in the event that they have achieved something unlawful? i'm questioning no longer because of fact enable me allow you to realize once you're a flesh presser then someplace alongside the line you have achieved some thing unlawful, we'd have all of them in penal complex.

Yes. Uneqivocally. He should be ostracized and shown to be a pariah. Not only is he a criminal, his brand of smarminess, condescension, and subversion of the truth is now a national epedemic. He's contagious and needs to be quarantined. Will we ever detoxify the poison he has dropped into the ear of the public? I don't know. I hope so, or we are doomed. He is as vile as vile gets and he deserves nothing less than a public hanging.

Yes, along with Dictator Bush and War Profiteer Cheney, but then again they will get away with all of their crimes because the Bush administration interprets the Constitution and Bill of Rights to suit their needs.

As much as I don't like it - in this country we have innocent until proven guilty. I would like to see him have a fair trial - without the president interfering... however that is unlikely to happen.
It's ok - what comes around goes around - he'll get his...

He should NOT for firing US Attorney's as they are part of the Executive Branch and it is within Constitutional authority for the President to appoint or fire who he wants as long as they are members of executive branch.
He should for the rest of the things you mentioned.

he'll walk just like scooter did. we spent all the taxpayer money on lawyers he got convicted and then got Bush's get out of jail free card.
I dont see why we should prosecute him since they are going to let him off in the end anyway.

Yes - but if you did that you would have to put nearly everyone in Washington in jail. That would be too expensive, although we could soon make it up without their incompetence and corruption.

Don't be ridiculous! There are plenty of people in the Clinton administration, starting off with Bill and Hillary, that should go to jail first before we get to Karl. Are you willing to allow the Clintons to pay for all their misdeeds and misdealings first? Of course not.
