Untill then just more bull**** DhimmiKKK-rat lies.

5. Evidence of this is? Cite? You do realize Presidents in the
past have done similar things in a time of war?
Dosent matter anyway because you cant be specific so its lies.

6. Incompetence is not a crime and if it were there would be a
whole lot of DhimmiKKK-rats being charged with treason regarding
Katrina.

7. We better charge every administration going back the the birth
of Israel if sup****t for the Jewish state is a crime. Unless you can

9. Tinfoil hat time folks! Im sure you have the evidence to back
this one up, i cant wait to see it.

10. Too bad there was the 911 commission and i dont remember
reading that in there.

11. You can of course do***ent this Presidential Order? Otherwise
this allegation goes right up there with a fake moon landing.
>Censoring Science,
12. I think you'll have a hard time finding a law that states
"censoring science" is a crime, but if you can cite one id love to
hear it. If nothing is provided we'll have to chalk it up as your lack
of prosecutorial experience.
> Exposing the Valarie Plame as a CIA operative,
13. Your knee deep in bull**** on this one too. Richard Armitage
leaked Plame, he admitted to it. Fitzgerald looked into it. Everyone
can see your a liar and
MMMMMMMOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>Lying about investigating the

14. My bull**** meter is going off again, you cant prove he leaked
Plame's identity (we already know who did) so you call him a liar.
>lying to the AmeriKKKan public about firing those responsible,
15. Armitage quit anyway. We can let you slide because your a
