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.

Who is they? Isn't the prosecutor a Republican? Let's hope he is on the home team.

Well, I'm going on the theory (for now) that the first "leaker" to Novak was Richard Clarke...but Novak will never admit it. And that Novak was showing off, and did not have a "malicious" purpose.

But there's some documents floating around...

I'm pretty sure there will be at least two indictments, because then the media can say "a White House [staff] under/facing/battling multiple indictments" every chance they get which comes across much more ominous as if it's some vast criminal conspiracy..

On Sunday, October 31st, "unnamed sources" (Clinton holdovers) in the Justice Dept. will announce that an indictment of George W. Bush is forthcoming on charges of "obstruction of justice" releated to the disclosure of the identity of a covert CIA operative, in violation of Federal law. There will, of course, be absolutely no basis for this explosive charge, and it will be retraced 2 weeks later. But the New York Times and Washinton Post will carry the story on the Front Page, and the "Halloween Massacre" will cost Bush 8 points in the polls, and close margins in Ohio, Florida and New Mexico will cost him the election.
