During the Bush administration the liberal left and the main stream media went absolutely nuts because Valerie Plame was supposedly exposed as a CIA agent.\u00a0\u00a0 Releasing the name of a CIA clandestine officer is a felony.\u00a0 A special prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald was appointed because of the seriousness of the allegation.\u00a0 Fitzgerald soon learned that Valerie Plame was not a clandestine CIA officer at all, so there was no potential for a crime.\u00a0 He also learned that the true source of the leak was Richard Armitage, a State Department official.\u00a0 But the left were not interested in pursuing Richard Armitage because he had been openly opposed to the Iraq war. \u00a0What\u2019s a special prosecutor to do?\u00a0\u00a0 Easy, Fitzgerald continued his investigation of a non-crime and eventually caught \u201cScooter\u201d Libby in a perjury trap. \u00a0Libby remembered a conversation differently than Matthew Cooper about something that didn\u2019t actually matter.\u00a0 As a result he was convicted of a felony and sentenced to prison.\u00a0 George W. Bush commuted his sentence, but Libby remains a convicted felon unable to practice law.<\/p>\n
Now we have the all too real release of the name of an actual clandestine CIA officer.\u00a0 This is not just any officer; this was our Station Chief in Afghanistan.\u00a0 The White House accidentally released his name to reporters who promptly sent that list around the world.\u00a0\u00a0 Then, to compound the error, the White House submitted a substitute list, with just this guy\u2019s name missing, to make sure that none of our enemies would miss the opportunity.\u00a0 At best the person who did this was criminally negligent.\u00a0 At worst\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n
There should be a special prosecutor appointed immediately to investigate.\u00a0 This special prosecutor should start interviewing top Obama administration officials under oath.\u00a0 Odds are very high that this special prosecutor will find a lot more important things than \u201cScooter Libby\u201d getting confused over where he heard information that didn\u2019t matter about Valerie Plame who wasn\u2019t clandestine and who also didn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n
Of course none of this will happen.\u00a0 In the minds of a liberal, a felony is only a felony when it is done by a Democrat.\u00a0 That is why fat cat Democrats get caught channeling millions in illegal contributions to Hillary Clinton and Harry Reid and no one cares.\u00a0 But Dinesh D\u2019Souza gets caught giving $20,000 in a failed Senatorial campaign and the DOJ considers it to be the crime of the century.<\/p>\n
If this does not bother you than you are probably a liberal, but then you probably don\u2019t believe me anyway, because you still know in your heart of hearts that Cheney is an evil man.<\/p>\n
