ABCNEWS TELLS WHITE HOUSE OF 'INDICTMENT' Tue Oct 25 2005 19:08:02 ET
"We have double sourced that the vice president's chief of staff has been indicted," a reporter for ABCNEWS claimed to a White House press spokesman this afternoon.
The White House refused to comment on the claim. The network said they didn't need comment, they were preparing to run with the development on this evening's network news broadcast, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
ABCNEWS claimed to the White House that it had double sourced how an indictment against vice presidential chief of staff I. Lewis Libby was set.
A senior White House source quickly determined ABC was bluffing; the report did not run on the East coast feed of the program.

UPDATE
ABC NEWS spokesman Jeff Schneider tells the DRUDGE REPORT: "There is nothing at all true about us having double sourced anything" regarding indictments.

CBS JOHN ROBERTS: Lawyers familiar with the case think Wednesday is when special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald will make known his decision, and that there will be indictments. Supporters say Rove and the vice presidents chief of staff, Scooter Libby, are in legal jeopardy...

Disgusting.
One of the two ABC sources was "BaaBah Boowie"
I left "speechless" a long time ago; I cannot even describe what I am thinking.
RAW STORY had it and pulled it according to DU!
ABC was fishing.
Thanks. I went and saw it, and I checked the ABC web site, and there is nothing at all about it.
I'm guessing it if was true, they would have had something by now.
ABC is pond scum.
Just remember: it's a famous Freeper calling card to fall apart like a house of cards in a hurricane at the first hint on bad news.
Remarkable for a bunch of folks who give lots of lip service to rugged individualism, tenacity, etc etc and so on. :-)
If a reporter at ABC got indicted, he might see information in the indictment about involvment of others and conclude that because they are written about in his indictment that they too are being indicted.
their word. my word would be sedition.
Thanks for the info - they sure are going to be disappointed if it's not Libby.
I hope you are right and I am wrong. This will be terrible for the country, the troops, America in general. And the reason is that the MSM will try to sell their damn papers with distortions,lies,inuendo, and slime. You could feel the hype all week. This is sickening.
I say we put everybody under oath and see who lies first.
My money is on Joe Wilson.
LOL! This is getting good! :)
It is bizarro - though this guy was out to indict a ham sandwich if he had to.
Yes, I heard they did not meet today.....
Why, 'cause the guy who manages the VP's office staff got indicted? {If, indeed, the leak it true.}
Relax!
I'm saying I'm suporting what Clinton did>>
What!!!! LOL what a typo.
