The Plame affair (also known as the CIA leak scandal and Plamegate) was a political scandal that revolved around journalist Robert Novak's public identification of Valerie Plame as a covert Central Intelligence Agencyofficer in 2003.[1][2][3]

In 2002, Plame wrote a memo to her superiors in which she expressed hesitation in recommending her husband, former diplomat Joseph C. Wilson, to the CIA for a mission to Niger to investigate claims that Iraq had arranged to purchase and import uranium from the country, but stated that he "may be in a position to assist".[4] After President George W. Bush stated that "Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa" during the run-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Wilson published a July 2003 op-ed in The New York Times stating his doubts during the mission that any such transaction with Iraq had taken place.[5]

A week after Wilson's op-ed was published, Novak published a column which mentioned claims from "two senior administration officials" that Plame had been the one to suggest sending her husband. Novak had learned of Plame's employment, which was classified information, from State Department official Richard Armitage.[2] David Corn and others suggested that Armitage and other officials had leaked the information as political retribution for Wilson's article.

The scandal led to a criminal investigation; no one was charged for the leak itself. Scooter Libby was convicted of lying to investigators. Libby was pardoned by President Donald Trump in 2018 years after having his prison sentence commuted by President George W. Bush.

What's your point? The statement stands and was a quote from NPR: "a man convicted of involvement in a national-security leak."

"Armitage and other officials had leaked the information as political retribution for Wilson's article.

The scandal led to a criminal investigation; no one was charged for the leak itself."
 
"Trump's pardon may send another message — that he is willing to use his pardon power to reward loyalists and to punish prosecutors he sees as running amok."

Cohen has filed a motion to suppress and I read the government’s response...it doesn’t have a chance. A lot of evidence. Phones, computers, etc.

He will be nailed for multiple crimes...and if he was acting as an agent of someone else (he only had one client and so far he said the one payoff was made on his own...which nobody buys of course), then look out, sports fans!

The National Football League has asked a federal judge to appoint a special investigator to probe what it describes as a widespread fraud that has resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in false claims to a fund meant to compensate former players for head injuries.

The motion alleges fraudulent schemes by doctors, lawyers and players to illicitly tap the uncapped fund, which is potentially valued around $1 billion. The league established the fund as part of a settlement agreement with players, and the NFL has so far funded more than $227 million in claims.

The motion—filed in the U.S. District Court for Eastern Pennsylvania, where the settlement is overseen—says that an independent administrator in the case has recommended that more than 400 claims be rejected because of fraud. That amounts to 23% of the total claims submitted and has a potential value of hundreds of millions of dollars based on the claims already awarded.

Among the allegations: At least one player was advised to show up to a neuropsychological evaluation hungover and on Valium, to ensure that he failed cognitive tests required to qualify for a settlement. Medical reports submitted by one neurologist included identical vital signs for more than 20 different players. One doctor claimed to have spent 130 hours evaluating players in a single day—on two separate occasions.

The 2017 concussion settlement between the league and retired players established a 65-year, uncapped fund for players with qualifying diagnoses, such as CTE, ALS, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s and other neurocognitive impairments.

But the NFL has faced accusations that it has dragged its feet in paying players. A March filing from lawyers representing the players said the agreement is “failing to provide a fraction of what the NFL promised.” That filing accuses the league of shirking its responsibility to pay players and, in other instances, taking too long to review claims.

The NFL’s new motion fires back with a different explanation: Deserving players are facing delays because of “deep and widespread” fraud in the case perpetrated by other players, their lawyers and doctors. The league argues that the long wait time for reviewing claims is the result of the growing need to closely evaluate all of the cases because of the crooked ones.

Everybody in the pool!

Unless you’re white.

Special: Selling your home doesn’t have to be stressful
Café con Leche, a registered student club at Scripps College in Claremont, California, recently organized and announced a pool party for non-whites.

Social media announcements for the pool party state that only people of color from Claremont Colleges are invited to attend. In addition to Scripps College, that includes Claremont
The party is set for 7 to 10 p.m. Friday at Scripps’ Sallie Tiernan House Pool.


Who is organizing the party?
Café con Leche, a “Latinx” group, said the pool party is intended to create “a safe space for 5C students that identify as [people of color] to come together and build community.”

Latinx is a “gender neutral” term used to replace Latina or Latino.

Cafe con Leche states on its Facebook page that the group welcomes all members of the Scripps community “regardless of racial and cultural heritage.”

But the event appears to violate Scripps’ anti-discrimination policy, the Claremont Independent, a student publication, reported.

The policy states: “Scripps College is committed to a policy of equal opportunity, and no differentiation will be made based on race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, sexual orientation, veteran status, or the presence of a disability.”

Excluding white students may also violate federal law.

“Because Scripps College receives federal assistance, it is bound by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Title VI states, ‘Schools and colleges that receive federal funds must operate without discriminating when it comes to race, color, and national origin.’ ” the Claremont Independent stated.

Has this happened before?
“Self-segregated spaces and events exclusively for POC are increasingly common across the Claremont Colleges,” according to the report.

For example, Pitzer College’s Climbing Club is hosting an off-campus people of color event later this month.

A description for the event reads: “Are you a person of color? Have you ever wanted to try climbing, but felt intimidated by the predominantly white space that is the climbing community?”

The notice invites members to “bring all of your POC identifying friends for a fun, FREE, night of climbing! … This is a closed event for POC identifying people only.”

The climbing club indicated it plans to have another climb event in the near future that will be open to everyone.

The slime of where you go to find these things just oozes from the computer screen and makes me want to disinfect my table and keyboard. I know people like you exist, which is a disgusting thought, but I hope I never have to see how their mind works like I see yours. There are no words to describe the disgust level you evoke.

"Armitage and other officials had leaked the information as political retribution for Wilson's article.

Click to expand...

The point is he lied to investigators & was never charged with treason (espola).
Armitage who was the "leaker" admitted what he did and was never charged with any crime.
Libby's crime was lying to investigators, not with releasing Plames name.
That's the point ya dick wad...

The Plame affair was a dispute stemming from allegations that one or more White House officials revealed Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agent Valerie Plame Wilson’s undercover status. An investigation, led by special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, was started, concerning the possibility that one or more crimes may have been committed. The initial focus was on Scooter Libby; however, he was not the primary source of the leak.

On August 29, 2006, Neil A. Lewis of The New York Times reported that Richard Armitage was the first and primary source of the CIA leak investigation.[1]

On September 6, 2006, The New York Times noted that early in his investigation, Fitzgerald knew Armitage was the primary source of the leak. The Times raised questions as to why the investigation proceeded as long as it did.[2]

Fitzgerald issued no statement about Armitage's involvement, and as of September 2006, the CIA leak investigation remained open.

On August 30, 2006, CNN reported that Armitage had been confirmed "by sources" as leaking Valerie Plame's role as a CIA operative in a "casual conversation" with Robert Novak.[3]

On October 28, 2005, the grand jury issued a five-count indictment[27] (PDF) against Lewis Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's Chief of Staff, on felony charges of perjury, obstruction of justice, and making false statements to the FBI and the grand jury investigating the matter. When the indictment was announced, Libby resigned his post as Chief of Staff to the Vice President.

The indictment alleges that Libby had informed several reporters about Ms. Wilson's employment at the CIA, that this information was classified, and that Cheney got the information from CIA sources and brought it to Libby's attention. Libby has been accused of perjury and obstruction of justice for lying about the disclosure to investigators, but has not been criminally charged for releasing Plame's identity.
