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’
There is only one SCOOTER, Phil Rizzuto!
Scooter, you're killing me. A big shot like you? Hell Alan Greenspan even gets the young chicks ;)
Yes, I read it.
What does it mean.........LOL.
Just what I predicted earlier. We're not the only ones who were duped (by watching CBS) tonight, it appears.
ABC NEWS spokesman Jeff Schneider tells the DRUDGE REPORT: "There is nothing at all true about us having double sourced anything" regarding indictments.
Anybody out there have 'field reports' from liberal media reporting rumors as news?
I have a feeling this is about to blow up in a blow-back to a lot of dirty libs, including Wilson. Just wait.
Wonderful reminder.
Could we also call these MSM "leaks" something more useful like "wishes?"
I think Maureen Dowd started that in her rant against Miller. She described Miller with a word that means open to powerful men. I just can't remember what that word is.
HEY! You wanna piece of him? 'Cause he's got a sh*tload of indictments and he's not in the mood for common sense. Best say your peace quietly and not make eye contact with him. ;)
No, Wallace works at the White House. I want t know the reporter from ABC's name. Hope it was the twit Moran.
When did denying anything matter?
Yeah. That Mr. X stuff sure seems a long time ago.
Sounds like she may be jealous.
ABC news at the top of the hour (8pm - EDT) said nothing about it.
Oh, yes. In ultra-brainy Liberal Land, hanging out for a few days drinking tea and asking questions of the people who would have more than likely been involved in selling yellowcake qualifies as extremely reliable intelligence. In fact, I'm sure it qualifies as foolproof.
These people are clowns.
You're right on Weinberger and Bush Sr. pardoned him and others on Christmas Eve 1992.
I hope W does the same for these guys. I have to see what Fitzgerald has but it looks more like a mistake than a disclosure to hurt Plame.
So, we ought to simply believe Drudge cooked the whole story up, made it out of whole cloth?
The media has no idea how low they are...they've been living there so long.
Jealousy? Bitterness? Dowd? No way.... ROTFLMAO!
