DC Insiders Pass The Plame Hot Potato

Elaine Meinel Supkis

The criminals running the Executive branch are in a conspiracy with the media owners to confuse people about the Valerie Plame CIA outing trial. Today, the reporters and the press are trying to convince people, EVERYONE in DC knew about this so no one 'leaked' it. This is ridiculous on all levels. Arrest everyone, if this is true (heh).

It is always someone else who did it and of course, all parties involved in this crime knew who did what from day one but they all hope their collective amnesia when questioned will save them.

Newsweek takes a look at the CIA leaker "you've never heard of." Testifying on the stand as a defense witness at former White House aide I. Lewis Libby's hearing, columnist Robert Novak said that he was not only told by his friend, conservative lobbyist Richard F. Hohlt, that Valerie Plame worked for the CIA, but that he also allowed him to "vet" his notorious July of 2003 column.

Newsweek reports that Hohlt even 'leaked' Novak's "outing" column directly to President Bush's Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove, before it had been published.

And how in the hell did this guy, Hohlt, know Valerie Plame worked for the CIA? Did she tell him? If so, why wasn't this clown still arrested? When Bush himself said famously that he wanted to 'get to the bottom of this' and anyone involved would be fired, the lack of action has been stunning, no? When Libby was selected to fall on his sword for Cheney, we all knew this was totally fake. We knew when we saw how Libby was literally laughing at us and at the prosecutor, this was all an elaborate joke.

Of course, in this little tidbit from the warmongering Washington Post, is typically murky.

Novak took the stand this afternoon and testified that he learned about Plame's CIA role from Armitage and confirmed the information with White House senior adviser Karl Rove.

Defense attorney Theodore Wells Jr. pressed Novak to say that hundreds of reporters and others could have known about what was going to appear in his July 14 column in the days preceding its publication because the material was sent over the Associated Press wire on July 11 or July 12. Novak also said he discussed the information about Wilson's wife with a close friend, conservative lobbyist Richard Hohlt on July 11.

This is an old ploy used by school-yard bullies: they need a fall guy because their nasty attacks were reported to the Principal so they send the little geeky guy who hangs out with them to take the punishment. Everyone can plainly see, the little geeky pencil-necked kid with glasses didn't beat up the other kid to a pulp and he is let go and no one does anything and they then ambush whoever ratted on them.

Well, this is ridiculous. Now that the prosecutor knows who the criminals are, arrest them! Of course, they think they are home free since it is OK to tell him after hiding the truth. Nayaanayyy...foooled ya! This little game is treason. Because according to Bush Sr who signed the 'Thou shalt not out undercover CIA agents or thou shalt go to prison' law.

Let's look at the latest fall-guy, Mr. Hohlt:

Hohlt was very useful to the Bushes and advanced rapidly under Reagan, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr.

Appointment of Richard F. Hohlt as a Member of the Peace Corps Advisory Council

May 19, 1983

The President today announced his intention to appoint Richard F. Hohlt to be a member of the Peace Corps Advisory Council. He will succeed Harry E. Sokolov.

His star, utterly obscure to regular Americans, rises rapidly:

June 28, 1985

The President today announced his intention to nominate Richard F. Hohlt to be a member of the Board of Directors of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, United States International Development Cooperation Agency, for a term expiring December 17, 1987. He would succeed William G. Simpson.
Since 1980 Mr. Hohlt has been with the U.S. League of Savings Institutions and is currently serving as senior vice president for government affairs. Previously, he was vice president for government affairs (1982 - 1984) and assistant vice president for government affairs (1980 - 1982). He was Executive Assistant to U.S. Senator Richard G. Lugar in 1977 - 1980; deputy campaign manager for Dick Lugar for Senate Committee in 1976 - 1977; and assistant to Mayor Richard G. Lugar of Indianapolis in 1975 - 1976. Prior to that time, he was assistant to the Marion County treasurer in Indianapolis and was the city controller's internal auditor/systems analyst.

Up and up, to where the money lives, he goes:

Nomination of Richard F. Hohlt To Be a Member of the Board of Directors of the Student Loan Marketing Association
January 5th, 1990

The President today announced his intention to nominate Richard F. Hohlt to be a member of the Board of Directors of the Student Loan Marketing Association. He would succeed Donald E. Roch.

Currently Mr. Hohlt serves as senior vice president of government affairs at the United States League of Savings Institutions in Washington, DC. Prior to this he served as executive assistant to United States Senator Richard G. Lugar.

He now is a lobbyist and makes lots of loot and he gives some grease back to his buddies and sponsors, the Bushes:

Pledged to raise $100,000

Click here for some of his lobbying information.

So he is obviously a tool of the Bush clan. He gives to them and they open the Treasury and give back to him and then he writes them a check and do I smell a rotting fish here? This is how our dying empire, running deep in the red on every front, is run.

So how did this very obscure but very connected guy get to know Valerie Plame's dark secrets? Did he seduce her? Did he spy on her? Did he learn from gossip?

Whatever means, it is still ILLEGAL. Outing CIA undercover agents was supposed to stop according to these self-same, self-serving Bushes. Are they demanding Rove, Novak and Holt as well as Fleischer and Armitage and all these gangsters be arrested? No?

HAHAHA. This is one big, nasty joke on our nation. They are all in cahoots and they are all in the engine room, stoking the fires, while we ride in the caboose.

Just like the Pentagon and Bush upped the number of sacrificial humans they are feeding into the raging fires in Iraq right after the House voted to condemn this, so it is with the Plame trial: they will now flood the courts with people all crying that they outed Valerie! And they hope the media which is in total cahoots with these coyotes will joyously confuse everything so everyone gives up trying to see the truth, that Cheney AND Bush both orchestrated this crime.

Next: the anthrax attacks. Note how both the media and the criminals running the Executive branch never mention that crime? They love to 9/11 us to death but not a whisper about this ongoing crime, the criminal not found, the CIA and the military implicated but the FBI sitting on their hands?

We know where to look. Under Bush's desk. In his closets where he keeps Geronimo's skull. The media is part of this criminal organization. They have the Democrats on a short leash: they will attack the Democrats nonstop if anyone in that party suggests investigating the media's roll in all these many crimes.

The easy way to begin to untangle all this is to start impeachment hearings. Armed with subpoenas, maybe we can empty this sewer and catch the rats. There are so many involved, we need the Pied Piper.

I keep telling you: it was Richard (Dick) Armitage what done it!

All this kerfuffle over outing one lousy CIA agent... do you remember a guy named Philip Agee? I remember when Agee was a hero to the left.

[Elaine Meinel Supkis]

UM, hate to tell you this, Smith, Agee is why Bush Sr. passed that damn law his son broke.

[JSmith]

Yeah, I knew that. There were a lot of people who were very upset with Mr. Agee - "There Oughta Be A Law!" And so, there was a law.

But just because there's a law, doesn't make it TREASON (unless it's the other side that's breaking it, of course: then it's TREASON, for sure...)

[Elaine Meinel Supkis]

The intent was treason: Bush and Cheney wanted to launch an ILLEGAL war by lying to the UN.
