Joseph Valachi

[Front-paged by susanhu. This has been rumbling around in my tummy too, and I think Antifa has nailed it!]

Keep your eye on the prize, people. Fitzgerald is turning Libby, and not in exchange for more Plame leakers, either.

Fitzgerald said today that this investigation isn’t over. Believe it.

Here’s how this is going down:


Libby stuck to a patently false story; a story that protected other players.

Libby “sticking to my story” did not work — Libby is busted in detail; he’s up the creek for 30 years.

He really is. Fitzgerald only charged Libby with what he can convict him on without the slightest doubt about it. So, Libby has the proverbial horse’s head in his bed. An offer he can’t refuse. . . which means Libby now needs to seek a deal, soon, in return for fewer years in the Federal Penitentiary. If he doesn’t, he’ll have to watch someone else make the deal Fitz is after, leaving Libby to do all 30 seasons in the slammer.

But Libby will find that no deal is available for naming other Plame leakers. Fuggeddaboudid.  That’s so last week.

Fitzgerald already has all the leakers and all the proof he needs to convict them when he chooses.

So, what does Fitz want?

He wants someone who sat in on those White House Iraq Group meetings to tell all. Joseph Valachi style. Unzip this crime family from the inside.

A confession so thorough it will satisfy Fitzgerald’s Jesuit soul.

If Fitzgerald appears to be playing with peanuts, well it’s because there’s an elephant in the room, and he wants that elephant to follow him over to the courthouse.

Fitz does not consider the Plame leak to be the core crime. The core crime is lying the nation into war.

The secondary crime is hiding that original lying, that original “high crime in public office.” Third is the conspiracy aspects of this original lying and the coverup of the original lying. Fourth is the Plame leak, which was both an incident and a conspiracy to scare a truth-telling whistleblower into silence. Fifth is conspiring to cover up that leak.

Pardon the pun, or don’t — but Fitzgerald is playing Big Time.

Spin won’t affect this, and neither will pardoning these lower level players, one by one. Fitz will just go after the next Plame-stained leaker, and turn them.

Because he’s looking for his Joseph Valachi, his goombah who wants to live free, not a neocon forgotten in jail.

As long as Fitzgerald stays out of small airplanes, he will methodically feed lower level members of this crime family into a legal meatgrinder to turn them from their ideology and vow of omerta. As each one unzips the Bush crime family, in exchange for measured clemency, Fitz will have a tighter grip on the next one up.

All the way up. And it won’t take long.

So, Happy Halloween, folks!

You ain’t seen Fitzmas yet.
