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’
They are showing episode 4 and 5 tonight (Stealing from Saturn and Ram against the wall).
MUCH MORE INTERESTING POLITICS...and much more honest than todays liberal politicians.
""Who was Gore's Chief Of Staff?!?!"
Judging by that bit of fiction on the cover of the Rolling Stone, I'd have to say that Naomi Wolfe was Gore's chief of "staff," LOL.
Don't think it's even illegal... wasn't WJC's GJ testimony shown on TV?
Shhh...don't tip off the MSM that you know how it works!
Great post!
Bill Kristol. What do I win?
Well, Gerald Ford was once a VP, and Cheney was once Chief of Staff to Gerald Ford. (but not when he was VP)
No, he's not! Elvis has bird flu.
Sounds like there better be another two year long multi-million dollar investigation on this "leak".
Uh, that's Avian flu to you Mr. Politically Incorrect.
Why there isn't anyone else that can do the job? Give me a break.Put me in coach!
I do so hope you are right.
I've already switched channels..I can only tolerate so much of Chrissy these days..
Probably being porked by one.
Gore chief of staff resigns
WASHINGTON (August 3) -- Vice President Al Gore's chief of staff has resigned to pursue a more lucrative career with a private law firm. Chief of Staff Ron Klain will be replaced by Gore's chief White House counsel and fellow Tennessean, Charles Burson.
Hello friend.
Get a grip...after you go and change the underwear you just peed in..
God that would be so sweet.
Yep, thanks. For all the talk of rugged individualism, self reliance, tenacity, bouncing back from setbacks, etc., there is a remarkable amount of conservatives out there who wilt so quickly it's embarassing.
A wise man once told me that anybody who says they never lost a fight has never been in one. People need to stay cool and keep perspective.
You win some, you lose some. The bigger picture is always important. Life is a tragedy in closeup, said Charlie Chaplin, and a comedy in longshot. I take that comment to heart - it's true. ;-)
