AS THE SHRUBS TURNS-INSIDE THE PATRICK FITZGERALD INDICTMENTS FOR THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 21-31, 2005

AN ANALYSIS

by Scott Mowry & Dan Rezac

11.1.05

At first appearances, it would seem that the lone indictment of an apparent "little fish" like Irv(e) Lewis "Scooter" Libby from the Fitzgerald grand jury investigation is extremely disappointing. Especially after nearly two years of investigating the overtly corrupt and criminal George W. Bush, Jr. administration. But there is much more to this story than occurred this past Friday, October 28, 2005.

Expectations were very high, when there had been numerous and consistent reports since August 2, 2005 that we would see anywhere from 22 to 28 indictments implicating practically the entire hierarchy of the Bush brain trust. That was the day that Tom Heneghan announced the impeding indictments to the world. And on Thursday, October 27th, the eve before the big day, Heneghan and Stew Webb were very enthusiastic on their "U.S. Intel" radio show about the impending announcement.

"I speak it tonight folks, because tomorrow (Friday), you WILL HEAR the indictments by Fitzgerald against the 'occupunk' of the united States of America at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and the Bush/Clinton crime families. You will hear the indictments roll, and these indictments are the first round of three rounds of indictments, " Webb declared.

However, it is equally important to be mindful of the words Heneghan uttered immediately after Webb's impassioned plea.

"We are in the most severe CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS that this country has ever experienced. We are in the most dangerous period this country has ever faced. I am talking more so than the (American) Revolution, the Civil War, World War I and World War II combined, because the forces of satanic evil will do anything to survive including attacking us, American people, again," Heneghan said.

Heneghan had been expressing the words, "constitutional crisis" for over two months, when issuing his various reports on both http://www.cloakanddagger.de and on his show with Webb heard over the Turner Radio Network every Thursday evening at 5 PM EST. In addition, Sherman Skolnick had been reporting much the same on cloakanddagger for several months too.

A constitutional crisis is defined as ?a situation where there is a severe breakdown in the smooth operation of constitutional government above and beyond the normal day-to-day minor conflicts.? Such a crisis can occur whether there is a written or unwritten constitution but is most possible when there exists separate factions or branches WITHIN a government that disagree about the extent to which each of these factions hold power.

When Heneghan declares that we are on the verge of a constitutional crisis, it may very well be the case. If that is the situation, then one must choose which targets will give the greatest ?bang for the buck? and which ones have the most compelling evidence to support the indictments. With that said, who is ?Scooter? Libby? How powerful is he?



It also should be noted that "Scooter" Libby is, indeed, a very significant catch for Fitzgerald. He actually wields more power than Rove within the Bush administration and has close ties to both Bush and Cheney. Here is what author Webster Tarpley had to say on Friday afternoon about the Libby indictments.



"For some people, it maybe is not clear that if you had to pick between Libby indicted and Rove indicted, it is much better to have Libby indicted because he is incomparably a more powerful figure,? Tarpley explained.



?If you look at Libby, first of all, he was special assistant to the President; he was really Bush's assistant before he was anything else. He was also Chief of Staff to Cheney and Cheney's National Security Advisor so he had three important hats in the White House. If you add up the number of hats he's got, he's probably more important than anyone in that White House. Libby is probably more responsible than anybody in starting the Iraq War," Tarpley added.
However, clearly the Judge who finally issued the indictments was not prepared to go any further than Libby, for reasons that may well be directly related to a possible constitutional crisis in the united States of America. This was probably THE main reason why you did not see more indictments last Friday afternoon, along with the fact that the remaining 22 or 23 indictments were sealed, for so called "national security" reasons aka "constitutional crisis." And by law, Fitzgerald, as a federal or ?Special Prosecutor,? is NOT PERMITTED to reveal anything to do with national security.

Let's review the activities over the last ten days from reports that were filed by Skolnick, Heneghan, Webb, journalist Tom Flocco and others, and try to speculate what may have actually happened and what has yet to come with the Fitzgerald indictments.

On the morning of Friday, October 21, 2005, Fitzgerald reportedly handed over 28 indictments, which were originally thought to be only 22, to U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales in Washington, DC. Gonzales's reaction, upon seeing the scope and sheer number of the indictments, was one of utter shock and awe, which may have even included himself among the criminally charged.

When Gonzales informed Bush of the indictments by telephone, who was in California at the time, Bush ordered him to immediately fire Fitzgerald. Gonzales refused Bush's directive, perhaps thinking it would lead to yet more hot water for him, and then removed himself entirely from the picture. Skolnick reported that the second in command at the Department of Justice had left the prior week and the third in command was not available, so there was no one left to neither fire Fitzgerald nor issue the indictments. Flocco reported that Gonzales ultimately refused to issue the indictments, which prompted him to be indicted on the spot, maybe for perhaps for a second time.

So, apparently, those 28 indictments basically sat in limbo over the remainder of that weekend.

Then on Monday morning, October 24th, Condoleezza Rice and Supreme Court nominee (of the moment) Harriet "The Witch" Miers, went before a District of Columbia Appellate Court Judge in Washington, DC in a an attempt to sue their own Department of Justice and get the indictments over turned, with Fitzgerald in attendance, as well. Rice and Miers were laughed out of the courtroom by that same judge as he said to them, "you can't do this!" Then, on Thursday, October 27th, Miers was forced to remove herself as a Supreme Court nominee, after much consternation by both Democrats and Republicans. (Talk about a bad week for you, Harriet!)

Flocco wrote: "Importantly, the dismissals by both the district and appellate courts will likely preclude an additional appeal by the Bush administration to the United States Supreme Court, since two consecutive reversals ordinarily result in the high court deciding not to hear the case and grant relief." This, of course, was fantastic news!

Ultimately, Fitzgerald found another federal judge by the name of Thomas Hogan, who was willing to make the indictments public for 12 noon EST, Friday, to be followed by a Fitzgerald news conference at 2 PM.

Here is one plausible scenario that could have unfolded as Fitzgerald attempted to get his indictments out in the open throughout the week:

Sometime after Monday, Fitzgerald turns over the 28 indictments to Judge Hogan for public release after being rebuffed by Gonzales and surviving the challenges from the team of Rice and Miers. As Judge Hogan reads over the documents, he too is completely shocked when he learns the comprehensive nature of them. In that they may well name, not only Libby, but Karl Rove, Rice, National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley, Press Secretary Scott McClelland, former Press Secretary Ari Fleisher, White House advisor Mary Matlin, former President Bill Clinton, New York Times reporter Judith Miller and also Bush and Cheney, as, at the very least, un-indicted co-conspirators.

Other possibilities for indictments may have included Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, former First Lady Hilary Clinton, former White House advisor Karen Hughes, former President George H. W. Bush, Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, former Attorney General John Ashcroft, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, NBC's Meet the Press anchor Tim Russert, Time Magazine reporter Matt Cooper and ABC's This Week's host George Stephanopoulos, to name but a few.

Hogan then possibly says this to Fitzgerald:



"Mr. Fitzgerald, I can't issue ALL of these indictments. They name this ENTIRE administration. There would be no one left to run the country! This could cause total chaos in our government and in our nation and in our economy and maybe even in the world! Undoubtedly, this will cause a major CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS!! I am not prepared to do that yet.
You are issuing indictments for the President, the Vice-President, the Secretary of State, the Speaker of the House, the Secretary of Defense, and their closest advisors...all the way down the line!

Under the best scenario for the American people, I am going to allow you at this time to make only five of these indictments public against Libby, until such time as it can be figured who is going to lead this country. However, for NATIONAL SECURITY reasons, I am going to seal these remaining indictments for now."

Skolnick said about the same thing on his Saturday, October 29th audio report. "One of the reasons they wanted them sealed, over and above this national security question, was to soften the blow to the American people so that they don't go completely berserk when they realize that the occupant of the White House, the fictitious President and the fictitious Vice-President, are actually under indictment but its sealed for the moment. In other words, they are worried that the American people will create an insurrection realizing their government is fictitious," he stated.

So Patrick Fitzgerald reluctantly agrees to the judge's orders with the hope and the intention that the other indictments will follow soon thereafter. When that time will occur, remains to be seen for now.

Heneghan reported on the Friday, October 28th audio report on that 23 indictments remain sealed at this time, some of which are for further adjudication. In addition, there were a total of 55 separate motions or protocols that were filed in the 45 minutes between the time that Fitzgerald was to issue his findings at 9 AM, until the time when they finally appeared on his web page at the Department of Justice, at 9:45 AM EDT.

Fitzgerald has a reputation for being the type of prosecutor that prefers "to go up the food chain" in his pursuit of criminal activity. He is also known for being a bulldog when it comes to his determination to get the job done and he remains the only prosecutor in the world to ever obtain an indictment of Osama Bin Laden, for the first attacks on the World Trade Center in 1992.

Since Friday, Heneghan and Skolnick are also reporting that both Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle from the Defense Department have been indicted and former CIA Director George Tenant and National Security Advisor Hadley have both flipped and now have received transactional immunity for their testimonies, which are playing crucial roles in determining further indictments. Again, Stew Webb revealed that there will be three rounds of indictments in total. That number may well increase now, given that only the five indictments for Libby have come out thus far.

One can only imagine the amount of frantic activities going on behind the scenes at this very moment. The Bush administration is clearly in desperation mode, unlike they have ever been before and they may do just about anything in retaliation. Those may include a continued weather or geophysical modulation through their HAARP weaponry, a terrorist attack with a dirty bomb or any number of other dastardly scenarios. Without question, they are hell bent for Martial Law, which may be their only hope to avoid further indictments.

Needless to say, this indictment process has only just begun. On Saturday's audio report, Heneghan gave his assessment of how this process may evolve.

"I think the sealed indictments are going to remain sealed at a point to which Fitzgerald's investigation proceeds closer to fulfilling the charter for which he has been assigned to investigate, which is the actual outing of Valerie Plame,? Heneghan speculated.

?I think what we are going to see is a drib drab, a wave of releases. I think the less serious charges against individuals will be brought out first, and then as we move down in time and further into the inquiry, I think you will see the big time indictments brought out," he added.

There is an age-old question that can be applied here. And that is, how do you eat an elephant? And the answer is, one bite at a time. No one can deny that these are certainly momentous and historical times we are living in. This will get even more interesting as events unfold.

Stay tuned folks; we are only at the beginning of this story.......

The Rant
Bush's Increasing Mental Lapses and Temper Tantrums Worry White House Aides
By DOUG THOMPSON
Nov 2, 2005, 05:26




An uncivil war rages inside the walls of the West Wing of the White House, a bitter, acrimonious war driven by a failed agenda, destroyed credibility, dwindling public support and a President who lapses into Alzheimer-like periods of incoherent babbling.

On one side are the dwindling numbers of die-hard loyalists to President George W. Bush, those who support his actions and decisions without question and remain committed to both Bush and scandal-scarred political advisor Karl Rove.

On the other side are the increasing numbers of those who say Rove must go and who worry about the President's declining mental state and his ability to restore credibility with Congress, our foreign allies and the American people.

The war erupted into full-blown shout fests at Camp David this past weekend where decorum broke down in staff meetings and longtime aides threatened to quit unless Rove goes. Insiders say Chief of Staff Andrew Card now leads the anti-Rove legions and has told Bush that he wants out of the high-pressure job.

White House staff members say the White House is ?like a wartime bunker? where shell-shocked aides hide from those who disagree with their actions and office pools speculate on how long certain senior aides will last.

Bush, whose obscenity-laced temper tantrums increase with each new setback and scandal, abruptly ended one Camp David meeting by telling everyone in the room to ?go fuck yourselves? before he stalked out of the room.

Senior aides describe Bush as increasingly ?edgy? or ?nervous? or ?unfocused.? They say the President goes from apparent coherent thought one moment to aimless rambles about political enemies and those who are ?out to get me.?

?It?s worse than the days when Ronald Reagan?s Alzheimer?s began setting in,? one longtime GOP operative told me privately this week. ?You don?t know if he?s going to be coherent from one moment to the next. What scares me is if he lapses into one of those fogs during a public appearance.?

Aides say Bush, who has always had trouble focusing during times of stress, is increasingly distant during meetings, often staring off into space during discussions on the nation?s security and other issues.

Card has responded to the crisis by cutting back on the number of staff members with direct access to the President and jumping in to answer questions when Bush?s mind wanders.

?Some people say Karl Rove is ?Bush?s brain,?? says one increasingly-concerned West Winger. ?Well Andy has become the President?s voice. He?s there to speak when the President seems unable to find form an answer.?

Bush?s mental state is a hot topic on Internet blogs and has increased since this web site disclosed last year that the White House physician had placed the President on anti-depressant medication ? a story the administration never denied. Others, including prominent psychiatrists like Dr. Justin Frank of George Washington University, wonder if Bush, an admitted heavy drinker who claims he quit without any professional help, is hitting the bottle again.

An increasing number of mainstream media outlets, including Newsweek, The Washington Post and the New York Daily News recently confirmed our earlier reports about Bush?s temper tantrums.

?Bush usually reserves his celebrated temper for senior aides because he knows they can take it,? the Daily News reported. ?Lately, however, some junior staffers also have faced the boss?s wrath.?

?This is not some manager at McDonald?s chewing out the help," a source with close ties to the White House told the paper. ?This is the president of the United States, and it?s not a pleasant sight.?

Bush loyalists claim the President can survive his current spate of political troubles and emerge stronger than ever but an increasing number of White House aides express increasing doubt. Some even go so far as to speculate if the President?s deteriorating mental condition can survive another three years in office.

?The President has lost his focus, his ability to govern and the trust of the American people,? says one longtime GOP operative. ?Those are things that are difficult to recapture when you?re on top of your game and this President has taken one too many blows to the head.?

BIGGER THAN WATERGATE
By Ted Rall Tue Nov 1, 8:11 PM ET

Bush-Cheney Traitors Deserve Prison, Impeachment

URBANA, ILLINOIS--To weigh the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame against historical standards, consider that no leader of the Soviet Union--including that master of ruthlessness, Josef Stalin--ever arranged for the name of a KGB operative to appear in a newspaper. Adolf Hitler had countless millions murdered, yet getting at a political enemy by endangering agents of the Sicherheitsdienst, the Nazi intelligence service, didn't cross his mind. In this respect, not even the worst tyrants have stooped to the level of George W. Bush.

Don't let the Republicans distract you. Treasongate isn't just about deposed vice presidential chief of staff Scooter Libby, who has been charged with five felony counts and faces 30 years in prison, or even deputy presidential chief of staff Karl Rove, who may soon be charged as well. The Libby charges clearly point to the real culprit: Dick Cheney, who told Libby about Plame's covert status in the first place. Cheney abused his security clearance to find out. "Libby understood that the vice president had learned this information from the C.I.A.," reads page five of the indictment.

"Cheney doesn't have a legal problem, but he has a political problem," a White House official told the New York Times. For now.

The stink on Karl Rove rubbed off on his boss. When Treasongate first broke in 2003, Bush promised to get to the bottom of the Plame leak and fire everyone involved. Now we know that he is the bottom of the cover-up. "An angry President Bush rebuked chief political guru Karl Rove two years ago for his role in the Valerie Plame affair," reported the New York Daily News, which owns the story of this scandal, in an account the White House tacitly confirmed with a meaningful inside-the-Beltway no-comment: silence = truth. "A second well-placed source said some recently published reports implying Rove had deceived Bush about his involvement in the Wilson counterattack were incorrect and were leaked by White House aides trying to protect the President," says the News.

An earlier News report revealed a secret White House Iraq Group (WHIG) that "morphed into a virtual hit squad that took aim at critics who questioned its claims [that Saddam Hussein had nuclear and biochemical weapons]" from late 2002 to mid-2003. WHIG's members included Rove, Libby, and disgraced Times reporter/Bush stenographer Judith Miller.

"In our system," Bush reminded, "each individual is presumed innocent and entitled to due process and a fair trial." Unlike the thousands of people Bush tossed into prison after 9/11--without charges or access to a lawyer--Libby is a rich guy with pale skin. He gets to confront his accusers.

Democrats, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory as usual, say they'll settle for an apology. The media is equally accommodating. "The Wilson affair is not Watergate," wrote Todd S. Purdum in the New York Times, a paper known for its desire to be helpful to the Bush White House. He's right. Treasongate is worse.

Much, much worse.

Watergate became the umbrella term for several scandals: "dirty tricks," including money laundering and the burglary of Democratic headquarters, to steal the 1972 election in favor of Richard Nixon; illegal wiretaps and break-ins used to silence and smear anti-Nixon critics like Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers; and the cover-up symbolized by the erasure of 18 crucial minutes from a subpoenaed tape.

Together these crimes painted a portrait of a lawless president with advisers indistinguishable from gangsters. Nixon was a cheat, a thief, a liar and an all-around scuzball, and Congress was right to initiate impeachment against him. But, bad as he was, Nixon didn't jeopardize national security for political revenge.

Treasongate includes many of the essential components of Watergate: smearing opponents of the Iraq war and their loved ones, financial shenanigans and a cover-up. Actually it was a cover-up of a cover-up; they lied about trashing Plame, who they targeted because her husband revealed their lies about Iraqi WMDs. Outing a CIA agent is the rancid cherry on top of a triple-dip blob of corruption. You can bet there's more to come.

Trust us, they ask. We're incompetent, not evil. That's their defense.

"One can believe that the neocons are utterly wrong without also assuming that they are evil," Nicholas Kristof argues in a Times op-ed. But people willing to lie their country into war and stab the people who protect it in the back--if we're to believe them, by not bothering to check Plame's status--are evil.

It's like a case of vehicular homicide: Did Bush and his goons hit Plame on purpose or was it an accident? Either way, I want them off the road.
