Using Plame to silence Trump is odd...

Valerie Plame ( the supposed undercover agent who supposedly got outed by supposedly a Bush administration official ) is trying to raise funds to buy Twitter.  If successful with this, Plame will delete Trump's account.

A basic question here:

Do people actually know the details of the case involving Plame, which happened in the Bush (43) administration?  Here are some facts:

  • That Plame was not undercover, according to Bob Novak, who wrote the story.  Novak could have been misled.  Intentionally? 
  • That no crime was even charged in the case.  Indeed, no crime occurred.  If it had been, Armitage would have been a target, which he was not.
  • James Comey was acting Attorney General, who named a special prosecutor after the Attorney General Ashcroft recused himself from the investigation
  • That Scooter Libbey did not leak Plame's name, Armitage did.  Armitage disclosed this even before the special prosecutor was named.
  • Therefore, no need for a special prosecutor existed.  That no underlying crime existed should have been sufficient reason to render anything Scotter Libbey allegedly did as moot and irrelevant.
  • That Washington DC jurisdiction is one of the most liberal jurisdictions in America.  Libbey may not have received a fair trial.

The so-called Plame-gate was indeed a phony scandal ginned up in order to discredit the Bush administration.  James Comey played a part in that.  Evidently Mueller did too.

Why make their names known again in a highly partisan effort to remove a sitting president for no crime at all?  Aren't they trying the same old trick again?

As for silencing Trump, why?  Does he not have the right to get out his message?
