IMO, this info below, if true, does not sound like good news for someone, maybe a Lawrence O'Donnell type? I am wondering this because based on what he wrote and said, it seemed like Lawrence O'Donnell wanted people to think his latest "scoops" were being confirmed from testimony in the grand jury room...

[Dem site] Note: The following comments were sent to us by someone who has direct access to a major television news network:

"I have found out through my national television news sources that the PlameGate prosecutors have "informed" Karl Rove and his attorney that are now seeking a "new inquiry" into just how Valerie Plame's name came to be leaked and "also" that whatever initial deal and/or deals were broached between their offices are now going to have to be put on hold!

Also, Bob Novak is claiming that he was NOT told by Karl Rove, Valerie Plame's name!!!???!!! Of course this represents an interesting turn of events in this matter. This Sunday, news executives were scurrying about like chickens with their heads lopped off trying to figure out just "how to spin" this breaking major news story! Apparently, most of the network television news organizations were aware of Rove's involvement as late as Friday night but were told to put a "hold" on it?"

This is just so much BS. Lawrence O'D has no way to legally know what goes on in the grand jury duty room. If someone is leaking grand jury testimony to him then they are liable! (but then someone would have to contest that info and that's hard to do under the gag rules.)

I find it laughable that it would even be suggested that a new inquiry would spring from an ongoing jury. It just doesn't work that way.

Oh, for pete's sake. I can never wrap my mind around the fact that these yahoos actually believe the bilge that is served up by dem talking points, but evidently there is a contingent that indeed does swallow it and is constantly surprised when whatever story they've been drooling over turns out yet again to be a lie.

LOL
