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’
LOL. Yikes.
Hmm. It's rather odd, isn't it, that the liberals are making such an effort to get *someone* to say something.
Rather odd behavior from people who are supposed to be so very confident.
I'm praying it was Terry Moran.
It's the old PD interrogation tactic. "We know you did the crime, we have the evidence, why don't you come clean with us?" Which translates as "we don't have a clue who did it." They're just checking out the rumors.
Trust me, a self satisfied smile and a cool confidence under adversity does a lot of damage to the spirit of the opposition. :-)
Yep, but notice that Chrissy didn't even mention that the OSP asked the WH not to comment on this while the investigation is ongoing.
I'll back you up TS... I have seen some of your other posts (unless your a long term sleeper troll!).
I don't recall a senior staffer being indicted during either Ford or Carter's Administration. Nor Bush 43's until possibly now.
Mark Levin just said on his radio show...that according to a lefty website...there will be 1-5 indictments sent up tomorrow...and a press conference is being set up for Thursday...
Levin said to consider the source...
WHO was the reporter that said that to the White House??? What is their name??
2000 s/b 2004
Thanks for the info.
Now that it's down to the wire it's painfully obvious that the big media guys don't know any more than we do.
I guess I am missing the gist of your comment
I agree, the WH is under siege by the MSM.
The public won't stand for it. They resented the media when Clinton was overwhelmed with problems. They ignored the media when Reagan was attacked every day for Iran/Contra.
Reverse psychology?
GOOD!
Pure speculation on my part. Who knows...
It was a "big deal" to me.
John Podesta is such a pant-a-load. I worry when Pat Buchanan is the voice of reason, Captain Obvious finally says there was no crime.
