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.
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...

We still don not know who sent Wilson to Niger!! Plamey gal recommended him, but can she OK the trip? Did she have that authority? If not, WHO the HECK did?? Methinks Georgie Tenet, Bush's weakest link......well, other than Powell.

See #327 -- Drudge has the story back up now. Lib blog
RAW STORY claims "ABC News denies that any reporter called White House on Libby":
Jeffrey Schneider, Vice President of Communications for ABC News, denied a claim from the conservative Drudge Report that any reporter had called the White House to say that Dick Cheney's chief of staff "Scooter" Libby had been indicted, RAW STORY can report.
"Absolutely not true," Schneider said from his cell phone Tuesday evening.
"We have no such reporting," he added.
RAW STORY has been posting all kinds of rumor today, including that Fitzgerald is going to indict. They've got ABC News VP's cell phone number. Looks to me like they are in cahoots with ABC News.

the news media will do their best to make sure everybody thinks that the VP chief of staff is the most critical person in the administration.And let's not forget, even the slightest HINT of defending the White House, i.e., explaining what went on, will be characterized as "the Bush White House punishing it's destractors and smearing the opposition."

I read on another site that the biggest news coming out is that Judith Miller and Scooter have a THANG going on.

It sure seems to cause the adversaries of President Bush to have seizures. And it sure stole the "Perp Picture" from the dems in the Delay case.

Nah, thats just run-off from MoDo's piece from the weekend, where she said Miller got 'sources' by putting out for big players.

Jeffrey Schneider, Vice President of Communications for ABC News, denied a claim from the conservative Drudge Report that any reporter had called the White House to say that Dick Cheney's chief of staff "Scooter" Libby had been indicted, RAW STORY can report. Parsing words. Maybe not "to say", but "to ask"?
