How did that White House investigation into the leaking of an undercover cia agents name go?

The Democrat operative Richard Armitage admitted to being the leaker. Nothing is going to happen to him because no crime was committed.\n\nThe Liberal press did very little coverage of it. That is why you didn`t know.\nThat is also why you see all the posts here of uniformed answers about Scooter Libby who was indited for an unrelated issue and had nothing to do with the outing.

cherriest14 - A few points for you:\n\nFIRST: Just who in the hell did Cheney shoot and kill??? Harry Whittington was accidentally shot by Cheney on a hunting trip. Whittington not only survived the accident but has already been released from the hospital. A far cry from being killed in my book.\n\nAnd you think no one blinked an eye over the incident? The media went after Cheney as if he had driven the last nail on the cross over it. Did you not pay attention to the news the entire two weeks after the incident??\n\nSECONDLY: Clinton's bl0wj0b did not almost get him impeached. Here are the fact:\n\n* Clinton received oral from Monica Lewinsky.\n* Clinton lied under oath about said services\n* Clinton got caught lying and was impeached (impeachment is the process of being charged ... NOT the processed of being removed from office)\n* Clinton WAS impeached, tried and not convicted\n\nI said not convicted intentionally, because he was guilty of the charges - he admitted it and received a censure from Congress and had to withdraw from the bar for five years.\n\nWe conservative are not angry over the bl0wj0b. Hell, if I was President, I'd be hiring new interns on a daily basis. As the chief law enforcement officer of the land, it was unacceptable for Clinton to impede the investigation as much as he did and lie under oath about what happened. You don't think that if someone is questioning the President under oath, they pretty much have him nailed already??\n\nTHIRD: Why don't you do some basic research before you spout off your parroted idealogical bullsh!t. It just makes you look really, really stupid.

Mr rockandroll58 and others, just read on and read the investigation yourself:\n\n45 tons of 9/11 contributions and supplies were stolen, and 2 whistle-blowers lost their jobs\nfor reporting this to the FBI, which deliberately ignored the allegations.  Apparently, FBI\npersonnel were involved in the theft and coverup.  And incredibly, some of these\nartifacts ended up with "16 government employees, including a top FBI executive and\nDefense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld."\n\nhttp://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2006-06-16-sept11-thefts_x.htm\n----\n\nWell Rumsfeld can get away with it for the same reasons the whole cabal is ripping this country off: there's no one to enforce the law - it is that corrupt on a widescale.  And these people truly believe they are above the law.

The FBI investigated the break in, but was thrown off the track by the White House and the CIA, which told them the investigation was a matter of national security.

As far as I know other than no longer showing up at White House press conferences, nothing.  I don't think he did anything illegal.  There are still questions about how and why he was allowed to stay overnight many, many times at the White House.  Why, exactly, was a homosexual male escort posing as a conservative newspaper reporter allowed to spend the night so many times?  It sounds like someone may have had some really weird, twisted sexual fantasy.  And, no, I'm not pointing any fingers.  It could have been any number of people at the White House.\n\nIt strikes me as a sickeningly freakish thing, but ultimately not too terribly horrible, and not illegal.  If someone in the White House has the hots for butch, gay escorts pretending to be homosexual hating conservative newspaper reporters, then more power to them.

Do you mean like when he had his cabal expose a CIA agent to retaliate for her husband exposing his lies?\npuhleeze...

We really have no idea what they did-it's all been ruled top-secret! Suits aginst Haliburtan were dismissed. Wow-this story in the money section while the headlines screamed about yet another closet gay Republican. Thanks!\n\nNo and yes...but I'm thinking probably won't.

How in the world would you expect anyone to be able to answer this question?  \n\nCould they be bluffing?  Of course.  Or maybe they're not.\n\nDo they have the proof?  There's no way anyone here can possibly have that answer.  \n\nDo I think there might be an informant in this case?  Yes, I think there might be.  I also think there might not be.  Again, how would anyone possibly know?

Someone in the White House erased about fifteen minutes of tap that was the famous gap. That fueled everyone's suspicion that the White House was lying about the President's role in the Whitewater burglary at the National Offices of the Democratic Party in Washington DC.\nThe infamous plumbers went into the Democrats National Offices and got caught in the process. These hack spy's worked directly out of an office in the Whitehouse.\nPresident Richard Nixon was forced to resign his Office or face certain impeachment and undoubtedly stand trail for breaking the law.\nWatergate is an amazing story as interesting and disturbing as the Iraq War story is in terms of the health of our Democracy. In both cases, the President of the United States willfully broke the laws of the land and put the Country into a Constitutional crisis that undermined the confidence of the people in the nature and execution of the institutions of the United States Government.\nOf course the later crisis is not over yet, but there has been no official oversite over the conduct of President Bush leading up to the invasion of Iraq. (It is coming however, don't miss it!)

Great question! Those who answered hypocracy were right on target. \nWasting 42 million dollars on an investigation that turned up nothing but a private affair was a huge waste. It wasn't near as wasteful as the billions spent on a useless war. Could you imagine what a 42 million dollar investigation would turn up if we investigated Bush's business deals with the energy cartel?\nWhen Clinton lied, nobody died.

It was hidden because a plausible cover story was needed to buy time for the PTB and USG to get their versions straight.  Never forget Osama and Saddam were creations of the USG.  Don't let the formerly-free press and the inept teachers re-write recent American history.  We need to remember the Shah of Iran, the Hostages, Iran/Contra, Bush Sr.'s CIA Drug Running/Clinton as Gov. & Mena, Airport, etc....etc...\n\nI am waiting for the late 1980's-2000 edition of the declassified USG throw away documents...there will be interesting reading.

i knew about it two days after it was stolen as my va hospital was contacted. that was over a month ago. the intel on the stolen laptop was classified and the director knew that for three years this employee was taking it home. there was until this cluster mess to put it politely, many people who took their work home with them. alot had more classified intel on it. the employee was placed on administrative leave after the incident, but with the uproar from congress about that, he was fired on the spot and the director was next. it was stolen by some guys that had been breaking into homes of the area the va employee took the computer home to. they steal the computers and delete them to sell to college students. no one knows what happened to the intel. it could have been sold. its classified with the fbi and cia investigating. with that kind of intel on it, they could have sold it for a fortune. as far as why the government does stupid things. its our government dollars at work. its like a drop in a lake what was discovered compared to what hasn't been found out about any government agency and illegal activities.

Yes so, look at "Donny Brasco". His name was Joe Pistone undercover plant, and the story is true. Joe Pistone was a snitch, just like Jack Abbarmoff is going to snitch on Bush & Cheney to get them impeached.

EXACTLY!!!\n\nThere is a story circulating right now about the Bush administration, ONCE AGAIN, violating privacy laws by getting access to all banking/financial transactions; although, they claim to have only looked at international transactions. They have the authority to do this BUT not until they go before a judge and get approval. Of course with Bush not believing in the consitution, he did not do that = broke the law AGAIN!!\n\nNow, to counter this Bush has been bombarding talk radio and Fox News (even saw an upset guy on pbs The Newshour yesterday about it) with propaganda that does not explain the entire story as I did in the first paragraph. \n\nTheir defense is we are in a 'war on terror'. So, basically because we are in a war on terror, they believe they can ignore all the laws and ppl's right to privacy, etc...\n\nSo, as you stated... with them attacking the press for reporting this story.. there goes freedom of speech and the press.\n\nBtw, the laws about a reporter revealing his/her source are very vague. A reporter does have the right to tell his/her source but most don't because that hinders ppl from wanting to tell them things later. I personally think that if someone tells a reporter something and the act of telling is in itself breaking the law then the reporter SHOULD be required to tell his/her source. IE, this Carl Rove thing about the CIA agent leak. We all know he was behind that but the reporter won't tell.

Is the story really true about the hotel and gas station?  Did they really have a video of what happened and did the FBI really come in and conviscate the videos?  I would like to meet the person who investigated all that to see if it is true.  You would think that someone took some video shots of what happened at the pentagon.    The object in that video doesn't even look like a huge jet liner.   The little hole in the Pentagon was not produced by a jetliner where are the jet engine holes in the wall?  If there are any video footage it will been tainted after the Gov. finishes with it. will the world ever know what really happened on 911?     Bush doesn't seem to be too concerned about Bin Laden, He even said so himself on National TV.   They aren't really looking for him.   If they were they would have found him.  There are too many people in this world that would love some reward money to tell us where he is.  Somebody knows out there\n\nhey rocknroll5  if they have all been released, where do you view them?

The word must be out that leaks will be anonymously taken at the NYT. I think both sides are leaking to the paper. Some things should be leaked, others shouldn't. It keeps the murky waters of our government slightly more transparent.

First of all five men — Bernard Barker, Virgilio González, Eugenio Martínez, James W. McCord, Jr., and Frank Sturgis — were discovered and arrested for breaking into the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate Hotel.\n\nHowever, it was soon discovered that they received their orders from E.Howard Hunt and G Gordon Liddy who work in the White House special investigations unit and were called "plumbers" who were responsible for ordering Watergate.\nand they were soon indicted.\n\nAfter an investigation, one of the seven, probably McCord linked the Watergate incident to the Committee to Reelect the President where the funds for watergate were paid out. This led to the investigation of John Mitchell, the Attorney General, who had headed the CRP. He was indicted along with campaign manager ampaign manager Jeb Stuart Magruder and Fred LaRue as they had approved of Hunt and Libby's sabotage plans. Charles Colson, the President's chief aide was also implicated as he was heavily involved in the CRP.\n\nFurther investigations showed that Watergate led all the way up to the White House as acting FBI Director implicated John Dean the White House Counsel by saying that he had passed FBI files to Dean and his predecessor John Ehrlichman, who was currently the Presdential Advisor on Domestic affairs. Investigations revealed that they were responsible for a massive cover up operation on Watergate. \n\nGordon C Strachan (assistant to Mitchell), Robert Mardian and Kenneth Parkinson (legal aid to the CRP) were also indicted for their involvement with the cover up and together with Mitchell, Colson, Erhlichman and Haldeman made up the famous Watergate Seven that were charged.\n\nProsecutors soon discovered proof that a tape existed containing conversations between Nixon and he was subpoenaed to give them up and refused. That led to a mounting campaign against him with the house and senate threatening to indict the President before the Supreme Court finally forced him to hand over the tapes. That ultimately led to Nixon's resignation.
