... apparently Abrams assured Scooter that there was life after taking The People for a ride. Heck, you can even get an appointment to be a senior National Security Deputy. Afterall, who else is best suited for National Security, except people who have experience with the ins and outs of stonewalling and leaving no tracks?

"Don't worry, Scooter, when the next GOP President comes calling, it will happen."
We got the decisions. Where is the leadership? Individual responsibility requires that you come clean on your own involvement, if you want to keep someone from prison in your place. You can't just abuse your authority.Which is even more farcical against this backdrop, which suggests that a new Special Prosecutor should focus on Cheney, who appears to selectively disclose classified information for political gain/purposes - how is that not abuse of power, I ask?:
Libby: Ordered to Disclose Classified Intelligence with Reporter Miller by Cheney, Bush. Scooter Libby testified that he was specifically authorized in advance of his July 8 meeting with New York Times reporter Judith Miller to disclose the key judgments of the classified National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) because the Vice President thought that it was "very important" for them to come out. Libby testified that while at first he advised the Vice President that he could not have this conversation with Miller because of the classified nature of the NIE, Vice President Cheney advised him that President Bush authorized Libby to disclose "the relevant portions of the NIE." Libby testified that the circumstances of his conversation with Judith Miller-getting approval from the President through the Vice President to discuss material-were "unique in his recollection."
