Boo..!
I am wearing a button-down collar white shirt - medium starch with a yellow power tie (circa 1989), a non-descript dark blue suit, black lace up Bostonian wing tips, and boxers...my costume today? Special Prosecutor, of course!
Fighting for Truth, Justice and the American Way.
Lied to FBI agents on Oct 14, Nov 26, 2003.
Committed perjury on March 5 and 24, 2004.
Engaged in obstruction of justice by impeding investigation.
Summary of indictment:
Beginning in late May 2003, two months before actual column by Novak in July 2003, Libby began acquiring info about trip to Niger by Wilson. The CIA decided on its own initiative to send Wilson to Niger after an inquiry by the VP. Libby lied about conversations he had with Tim Russert, Matt Cooper and Judith Miller. Prior to July 14, 2003, Valerie Wilson's employment status was classified, her affiliatilon with CIA was not common knowledge. Revealing the agent's status has the potential to damage the national security, risk lives of that agent and other agents, damage national security.
Official 22 page Indictment in .pdf for those who like to print/read the legal details and gobblygook or Smoking Gun has it scanned and up.
Scooter Libby endangered national security.

Also, I am bringing in chips, salsa (spicy and mild), bean dip, taquitos and pop to express thanks to my hardworking staff for keeping their eye on the prize over these past two years.
Oops, phones are ringing! Gotta run I am covering up front while the receptionist gets us more Starbucks.
Now, this leaked information/rumor also from KOS is far more interesting and telling:
"This just in from a close friend who worked inside the pinnacle of Republican power in the Senate a few years ago, so while this is rumor -- it's Republican rumor, which makes it interesting:
Steve, just heard from trusted friend that McCain was approached about serving as VP if Cheney has "health problems" or otherwise steps down. Beyond that, speculation that Miers will step down to be replaced by a Bork-like sub (even better, Bork himself...). In other words, Cheney takes a bullet, a titanic battle over SCOTUS ensued to change the subject. You didn't hear this from me, but feel free to pass on such unsubstantiated rumors."
Comment? Sorry, my lips are sealed as tightly as my indictments.
Americablog ran this photo of me yesterday and I must say it does capture me in a good light - hardworking and fighting for truth, justice and the American Way. God Bless.
