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.
Developing...
UPDATE
ABC NEWS spokesman Jeff Schneider tells the DRUDGE REPORT: "There is nothing at all true about us having double sourced anything" regarding indictments.
More from Drudge:
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 president’s chief of staff, Scooter Libby, are in legal jeopardy...
Another update from Drudge:
Indictments in CIA leak case ‘about to be handed down’
More like bottom-feeding if you ask me :(
would there be a law against yelling fire in a crowded
theater and would it apply to ABC ?
ROFLMAO!
Hee, hee, hope so.
"Who was Gore's Chief Of Staff?!?!"
Mr. X???
"A senior White House source quickly determined ABC was bluffing; the report did not run on the East coast feed of the program. "
Did everyone see the last line?
If true, it should be the last time ABC is credentialed for any White House function.
I half agree. If this is true, these people really ARE made of exactly the same stuff as the, ummm, "material" that Bill Clinton left on the Oval Office carpet.
Any updates on Hardball yet?
LOL!! That is hysterical!
Seriously the white house would be the first to know. NOT abc. Didn't run on their east coast feed eh? Losers
Since when do news networks put out "bluff" stories? This doesn't make any sense.
The double sources were later determined to be
Bill Burkett and Mary Mapes/sarcasm.
Yea - this still isn't confirmed and if it is, they missed the main target (Rove), who is far more identified with the admin.
I remember the day of the election in Spain in 2004, when the anti-american forces won. Freepers left and right were soiling their panties, panicked that the war on terrorism was over, we lost, and that the Islamofasict hordes were at the gate.
And that was the men. :-)
Apparently Fitz can't keep his own mouth shut.
I suggest you change your name to something like 'Intrepid', or how about 'Fearless'?
President Bush is on C-span 2 LIVE right now at RNC fundraiser...
