The Talent Show we can speculate that Bush could have comitted
perjury obstruction of justice when testifying before the grand jury. Why?
There have been two accounts of what Bush knew, and when Bush knew it. The New York Daily news report claims:
Other sources confirmed, however, that Bush was initially furious with Rove in 2003 when his deputy chief of staff conceded he had talked to the press about the Plame leak.
Then there is the other account that Bush was totally unaware that someone outed Valerid Plame. Bush spoke to Fitzgerald in the Summer of 2004. Which story was he sticking to a year ago, before all the shit was hitting the fan? My intuition says it was the "naive" rendition. He wasn't under oath, but if Fitz decides Bush mislead him, this could be a clear cut case for obstruction of justice. This is, of course, only if the NY Daily News report is true.
Let me just add my opinion on this. These people (meaning the entire Bush caabal) are not used to facing any consequences. One could think "How can all of these people have been so stupid and perjured themselves over one small leak?" Instead of the original leaker going to jail, now there may be a whole boatload of them behind bars. But then you have to realize that this regime has been getting away with their lies for quite some time now, and their whole career, MO, and profession is to lie all the time. Why would they deviate from this strategy in the Fitzgerald case? Especially a year ago when it seemed as if nothing would ever touch them.
Obstruction of Justice for Bush. That's huge. And Abramoff hasn't even been put on the stove yet.
