McClellan: Bush was in on Plame

This will be short, but fun. Scott McClellan wrote a book. Here is part of what he has to say

"The most powerful leader in the world had called upon me to speak on his behalf and help restore credibility he lost amid the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. So I stood at the White house briefing room podium in front of the glare of the klieg lights for the better part of two weeks and publicly exonerated two of the senior-most aides in the White House: Karl Rove and Scooter Libby.

"There was one problem. It was not true.

"I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so: Rove, Libby, the vice President, the President’s chief of staff, and the president himself."

Sorry for the brevity, but this was too juicy to pass up.

That boy better stay out of small airplanes. Actually, he should just put a gun in his mouth, pull the trigger, and have himself cremated. That's about the only way to avoid the revenge that will be visited upon him.

McClellan deserves the same of what the others will be dished up.

President Bush said yesterday that he will fire anyone in the administration found to have committed a crime in the leaking of a CIA operative's name, creating a higher threshold than he did one year ago for holding aides accountable in the unmasking of Valerie Plame.

After originally saying anyone involved in leaking the name of the covert CIA operative would be fired, Bush told reporters: "If somebody committed a crime, they will no longer work in my administration."

Then he should fire himself.

I would say there is far less here than meets the eye. Do you honestly think McClellan would now come out and admit he lied under oath in his grand jury appearance?

I don't know what McClellan testified to the grand jury. Do you?

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

So he goes to the grand jury supposedly knowing full well that Bush, Cheney, etc. lied and were involved in a cover up and the matter just never comes up?

Suppose he did lie to the grand jury. How does he get punished?

Wouldn't any prosecutor willing to prosecute him for perjury be eager to strike an immunity deal with him so that he can go after the bigger fish?

Gar has a keen sense of the obvious, and he believes Scotty does not have a ticket to tel-aviv in his back pocket.

I think he is right on the money.

Revealing his perjury as a means of selling his book does not seem a plausible scenario. Nothing will come of this.

I think Scott McClellan and his publisher passed tantalizing remarks to promote sales of their new book to be released in the spring.

Please, if you think Scotty is going to serve up his old Texas pal, dubya, on a platter you are awfully gullible.

In fact, today Scotty's publisher issued some clarification:

My url links never come out right so you need to cut and paste the following:

..."McClellan doesn't suggest that Bush deliberately lied to him about Libby's and Rove's involvement in the leak, said Peter Osnos, founder and editor-in- chief of Public Affairs Books, which is publishing McClellan's memoir next year.

``He told him something that wasn't true, but the president didn't know it wasn't true,'' Osnos said in a telephone interview. ``The president told him what he thought to be the case.'' ...
