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 presidents chief of staff, Scooter Libby, are in legal jeopardy...
Another update from Drudge:
Indictments in CIA leak case about to be handed down
Fortunately for Clinton, K. Starr was obsessed with the tawdry (sorta) sex scandal... and decided that filegate, travelgate, whitewater, vince foster, etc. weren't important enough.
Ahh, bullshit...indicted does not mean convicted...moron!
I'm a little slow in that area. Fortunately, I was able to claim it as a disability and was admitted under the ADA. Eventually, I hope to get special parking. ; )
That's right - Ron Klain.
REMEMBER THE EXIT POLLS!
Haha! Nah, never panic. The worst that can happen is you die, after all. :-)
"RAW STORY had it and pulled it according to DU!"
Gee, they pulled something just because it wasn't true?
If the Wonkette says Libby was indicted I KNOW it's not true.
LOL Scooter. That's what my grandfather used to call all his grandsons - never could remember their names.
Get a grip...after you go and change the underwear you just peed in..
No kidding... what a bunch of wussies a lot of these posters are becoming.. even John Dean has said that there is no real legal basis for anything over this...
DAng...Chrissy just said we would KNOW what happened if --Cheney would get on TV with Tenet and answer questions TRUTHFULLY.>>>
So---in Chrissy's wacky world, CHENEY is the only liar...and Tenet, Wilson, Plame, Miller, Novak, Cooper...none of them ever told a lie???
At the very least it gave some Dems reason for premature ejac----.
I'm guessing, just like every news report about this is.
"They should have their correspondents kicked out of the White House now. What a low class thing to do."
I agree with that sentiment wholeheartedly. Ah, the media. What crimes are committed in your name!
I was actually hoped this was true. If it's just Libby, it's not that big a deal. I didn't want them to get Rove. This means they still might nail Rove.

For this, Nicoll will get porked and fired.
