Waxman to Mukasey: Send Plame documents
White House appears to be stalling on production of notes of interviews with Bush, Cheney, Rove.
Did Bush ask Scott McClellan to lie -- or didn't he?
Former press secretary Scott McClellan says someone in the Bush administration made him spread "false information" about Plame-gate to the press. Time for Congress to ask tough questions.
Bob Novak is not one of the popular kids
The prickly right-wing columnist, covert-agent outer and all-around "Prince of Darkness" explains how he rose to the top of D.C.'s journalistic heap.
Bush and Cheney walk, too
Even as the president confesses that Scooter Libby engaged in a cover-up -- after all, that was the verdict -- he completes the ultimate obstruction of justice in the Plame affair.
Even the lawlessness was lawless
Bush commuted Libby's sentence without consulting the Justice Department and without regard for the usual standards and procedures.
Was Plame covert? Conservative commentators weigh in
For years, many on the right have denied that former CIA officer Valerie Plame was covert when she was outed -- we check in to see if their position has changed.
Could a Libby pardon help Bush?
The president can't get much less popular with the people who'd actually mind.
The Libby letters
Read letters sent to a judge on behalf of Scooter Libby by some of his most prominent defenders, including Donald Rumsfeld, John Bolton and Henry Kissinger.
Libby sentencing: Does the underlying crime matter?
The hearing continues.
Awaiting sentence
Questions to ponder while Judge Reggie Walton decides Scooter Libby's fate.
Scooter Libby responds
Read I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby's request to be sentenced to probation, as well as his lawyers' response to special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald's sentencing memo here.
What are they saying about Scooter?
The court has received more than 150 sentencing letters, including some from "public officials," and will release them soon.
Valerie Plame, covert after all
Though some on the right have denied it, Plame was a covert CIA operative when she was exposed by Robert Novak. Read the document that proves it.
"Mr. Libby should be sentenced to ... 30 to 37 months"
Read special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald's sentencing memo for I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby here.
Three years for Scooter?
Patrick Fitzgerald refutes his critics, while making the case for imprisoning Libby, former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney.
Karl Rove, again
Plamegate meets the prosecutor purge.
Sampson: I suggested firing Patrick Fitzgerald
Gonzales' former chief of staff says he can't remember why. Anyone want to give him a hint?
How to save Scooter
Say who you are and how you know Libby -- and be nice to the judge.
Imagine his score if he'd indicted Rove
As it moved to fire prosecutors, the Justice Department ranked Patrick Fitzgerald as "not distinguished."
Fitzgerald: I won't opine on who's really responsible
The special counsel declines an invitation to describe his views to Congress.
Mr. Fitzgerald? Congress would like a word with you
Rep. Henry Waxman will hold a Plamegate hearing, and he'd like to hear from the special counsel.
Libby and the White House book club
While Cheney's former aide prays for a presidential pardon, Bush and Rove hold forth in their neocon salon, and the coverup continues.
Lewis "Scooter" Libby is a felon
The criminal conviction of one of the Bush administration's most powerful figures is a victory for the rule of law, and a warning that no official is invulnerable.
Libby's last disinformation campaign
Not only did Scooter's defense rely on emotion over facts, but it appealed to the jury to dismiss the craft of journalism as false by nature.
Libby's cynical defense
In the courtroom, I watched Libby's lawyers grill Bob Woodward and Robert Novak, trying and failing to obscure the charges against the vice president's man.
