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’
Thanks.
ROFL!
I think you've got it...
This is just too weird. The question I want the answer to is how MSNBC got to the neighbor THAT fast. Although- the press is probably parked in front of the Wilson/Plame house.
The hyperventilation about the wording of reports from press who don't know very much is stunning.
Clinton wasn't convicted of perjury.
Exactly--Almost everything we are hearing is spin by lawyers and interested parties --squid ink.
It's BS. I think the neighbor told Wilson about it and Wilson called the media.
This entire thing has reaked of a set up by Wilson and company. There is something very big and very international about all of this and it doesn't have much to do with Plame being outed, that is the diversion.
It does smell like him
Neighbor gets interviewed; neighbor calls Joe; Joe says "Go tell your story here" (hands over list of telephone numbers for MSM TV).
T'anks, HitmanNY...its a keeper!
Hhhmmm..we'll see how the neighbor comes across..
Missed it .. what happened? The looks of naive innocence and shock: "no, we NEVVVVER knew she worked for the CIA?"
Not sure, but I'm sure they double sourced it!
Yes, I think Joe has media phone numbers at his fingertips for just such an occasion. I think there is a pattern here.
It hasn't been on yet ... His show starts in 15 minutes (EST)
It's probably just hype so Tucker can get someone other than his mom to watch his show.
Chris Matthews sent his limo over to pick him up. (or he was waiting in the green room.. or bullpen as it were)
