Your one stop shop for analysis of the denouement of Patrick Fitzgerald’s grand jury investigation is Jane Hamsher’s blog firedoglake.<\/A> ReddHedd has been a posting machine<\/I> the last few days.

The news is flying fast and furious this evening: Raw Story<\/A> has an excerpt from tomorrow’s WSJ saying that the investigation may have broadened to include the whole of the White House Iraq Group.<\/BLOCKQUOTE>Is Fitzgerald moving ever closer to the Niger uranium scammers? We can hope. As Josh Marshall<\/A> says:
But this WHIG thing is a whole ‘nother level of hurt.<\/p>\n

This group was the organizational team, the core group behind all the shameless crap that went down in the lead up to the Iraq war — the lies about the cooked up Niger story<\/A>, everything. If Fitzgerald has lassoed this operation into a criminal conspiracy, the veil of protective secrecy in which the whole operation is still shrouded will be pulled back. Depositions and sworn statements in on-going investigations have a way of doing that. Ask Bill Clinton. Every key person in the White House will be touched by it. And all sorts of ugly tales could spill out.<\/BLOCKQUOTE>Digby <\/A>connects the dots. Pass the popcorn!<\/p>\n

Here’s an extra helping of schadenfreude, as Jonathan Schwarz <\/A>oh-so-cruelly interrupts Colin Powell’s attempted image rehabilitation:

Yesterday<\/A> I quietly and calmly explained that COLIN POWELL IS A GIGANTIC ERUPTING GEYSER OF LIES. Today I thought it might be fun to soberly and carefully describe why POWELL’S REAL NAME IS MR. BULLSHIT GOT-LIES PINOCCHIO.<\/BLOCKQUOTE>Go, Jonathan! Kick ’em while they’re down! Don’t let ’em get up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
