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’
If it says Libby Libby Libby
On the sub Poena Poena Poena...
Aw, nevermind.
Jeez, the neighbor is already on TV.
Tucker Carlson just said he is going to have one of the neighbors just interviewed by Fitz' people tonight on his show. Starts at 11:00 on MSNBC.
Having repaired the Wave-Motion Gun and successfully repelled the latest attack by the evil Dr. Deanlok and his Demilons, Captain Avatar Bush & his intrepid crew press forward to Iscandar. But they must hurry - they have only 110 days to reach Iscandar AND return home with the secret needed to destroy the Demilon Empire, or the Earth will be destroyed!!!!
No charge!
Thanks for the heads up, Tucker will get to the bottom of this... or not.
Logical source is Wilson or Valrie
Ah jeez, he's gonna have Lanny Davis on too. I'm not sure I can handle it.
HOW did Carlson get the neighbor booked on his show so fast??
[CIA leak investigators hold last-minute interviews with Plame neighbors...]
Are we talking about investigators that work for the CIA? That would be most improper. Justice Dept. investigators would be more appropriate. From what I've seen so far, I would surmise that some within the CIA are actively engaged in a plot to bring down this administration.
No kidding! This has Joe Wilson written all over it.
Says they may know if there will be indictments during his show.
---
Uh, how would they know?
Pre MSNBC- The FBI was sent out today to the Plame/Wilson neighborhood asking questions for the grand jury/Fitzgerald.
Tucker Carlson will have the neighbor on his show @ 11pm- also a tease there may be something breaking tonight about the indictment(s).
Someone(s) are either trying to get enough info out there to be able to cry Fitz pulled his punches or
They are trying to win something in the court of public opinion that they could not win in court.
FBI
That's how I read it.
It does smell like him
