The Rove Scandal: Now I'm Smeared as the Leaker (David Corn sez NOT contacted by Fitzgerald!)
Corn's Website/Blog ^ | 15 July 2005 | David Corn

Posted on 07/16/2005 12:43:25 PM PDT by Stultis

David Corn responding to Clifford May's column in National Review. Blah, blah, blah. Unconvincing. Those of you following this closely will want to read it for clues, but I'm only going to post what (to me) was the big news:

Here's another fact that may interest anyone who thinks May might have a point:

Number of times I've been contacted by Patrick Fitzgerald, interviewed or contacted by his investigators, and called before the grand jury: 0.

What the h*ll is this? David Corn published an article only two days after Novak's column that exposed Plame in far greater detail than Novak had, and Fitzgerald is totally uninterested?!

Or is Corn lying? (Note the parsibility of the statement -- "interviewed or contacted ... and called before the grand jury". One part could be true without the union being true.)

This just in: Bob Novak did not reveal that Valerie Plame was an undercover agent for the CIA. Read — or reread — his column from July 14, 2003. All Novak reports is that the wife of former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson is “an Agency operative on weapons of mass destruction.” Novak has said repeatedly that he was not told, and that he did not know, that Plame was — or had ever been — a NOC, an agent with Non-Official Cover. He has emphatically said that had he understood that she was any sort of secret agent, he would...

I want to see Plames W-2 forms for the past 12 years.

Kinda makes ya think that reporters' sources aren't the real interest of the grand jury, huh?

As far as Corn is concerned I can't take him seriously until he grows an upper lip. Just how well does he know Barney Frank anyway?!

That number will probably change, David.

David Corn is a smarmy obnoxious putz.
I change channels every time he is on.
Do us a service SP and put him away.

Considering that The Nation is a marxist mouthpiece, it disheartens me to see guys like David Corn out there on the networks as though they were real journalists, not anti-American shills. What's next, the DC reporter for "The Daily Worker"?

Which may mean that Corn is one of the people being investigated.

Again, as noted by others elsewhere, IF there was any real smoking gun against Rove, it WOULD have been used before the November 2004 election.

The Leftist desperate grasping at straws continues....

Why is Cornhole part of the White House Press Corps, getting cheap shots at McClellan??

I thought gay men who wrote for partisan papers were forbidden.

If Fitzgerald is a dogged and as dedicated as he is said to be, the net will be very tight before the trap is sprung.

The "sources" are completely irrelevant from a legal perspective. Valerie Plame was not a covert agent. Noone "outed" her. The only relevance of the sources is political.
If Joe Wilson is the "source" everyoone will be aware that this was a political setup by the left.

Maybe I'm just slow today but I read a post about May's column, with some quotes, and it made no sense. I hope the article made more sense in it's entirety.


And no-one needs to feel obligated to ping me to numerous articles about this nothing story.

No one broke the law so I'm sticking with my previous statement; who cares.

Why bother? It was obvious Wilson was the leaker to Corn.

I think he lost his lip in Clintons zipper during the 90's.

Anybody ever seen David Corn and Doug Llewelyn in the same room?
