Bob "The Traitor" Novak
Claims He's Free of PlameGate Investigation
Of all people, the man who started the PlameGate act of treason,
Robert "The Traitor" Novak is now claiming that the investigation
of him (but not the prosecution of Libby) is officially over.
In a just released column, Novak asserts that "Special Prosecutor
Patrick Fitzgerald has informed my attorneys that, after two and
one-half years, his investigation of the CIA leak case concerning
matters directly relating to me has been concluded."
What a shame. The guy is a partisan journalistic hack who endangered
America's national security at the behest of the Busheviks.
Novak says that Bill Harlow, a CIA public information officer
confirmed Valerie Plame's identity. Novak also, as was previously
known, reveals that Rove was also a source.
While admitting differences in the recollections of his conversations,
Novak does not discuss Harlow's adamant claim that he warned Novak
not to publish Plame's name or CIA status. As the Washington Post
reported:
"Harlow, the former CIA spokesman, said in an interview yesterday
that he testified last year before a grand jury about conversations
he had with Novak at least three days before the column was published.
He said he warned Novak, in the strongest terms he was permitted
to use without revealing classified information, that Wilson?s
wife had not authorized the mission and that if he did write about
it, her name should not be revealed.
Harlow said that after Novak?s call, he checked Plame?s status
and confirmed that she was an undercover operative. He said he
called Novak back to repeat that the story Novak had related to
him was wrong and that Plame?s name should not be used."
It should also be noted that Rove was fired from the Bush the
First staff for leaking to Novak.
It's a shame Bob isn't spending any time in jail. He certainly
deserves it.
Because he betrayed the national security interests of the United
States.
