The suspicion that someone may have lied to investigators is based on contradictions between statements by various witnesses in F.B.I. interviews, the lawyers and officials said.

Who are these "lawyers and officials?" Shouldn't a new investigation be started to root them out?

can't find a leaker?? just charge them with something else.

Novak, etc. are not going to squeal or admit they made up stuff to sound more authoritative - they'll be given a pass.

officer have expanded their inquiry to examine whether White House officials lied to investigators or mishandled classified information related to the case, lawyers involved in the case and government officials say.

Hmmm...Andrea Mitchell and her pal Joe Wilson's big mouth perhaps???

They want to charge someone in the White House. They will charge someone in the White House whether they find evidence or not. They want an anti-Bush scandal come hell or high water. They will create one if they have to, they do it all the time.
