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’

Or maybe she is checking in with her other employer.

Good question.

Doubt is cast when considering the talking neighbor is spouting talking points.

He lives on this planet:

TELL THE PRESIDENT: NO MORE PARDONS FOR TRAITOR-GATE CRIMINALS
Convicted Previously of National Security Crimes
Elliott Abrahms is Newest Figure in Traitor-gate


Did you know that Elliot Abrahms, pardoned by the first President Bush for the Iran-Contra crimes he committed under the Reagan Administration, now works for the Bush White House? And has been implicated in the leak of Valerie Plame's covert identity? Fitzgerald may well successfully prosecute senior White House officials. Insist that anyone convicted in this case be ineligible for a presidential pardon. Demand that the President not pardon any criminals in his administration who compromise our national security!

Punch here

Well spoken. I agree if it is Libby .....it's unforgivable that he has not already resigned. However, he has had a long and honorable career and as Mary Matalin has said about him ~~ "He's exceedingly analytical, detailed, strategic, bright; and he's discreet". And evidently Cheney feels the same way.

Only the egomaniacs that you spoke of would be the most likely to whisper leaks deliberately or not into any member of the media's ear. We shall see.

Lesson that should be learned by both the administration and ALL GOP pols?

Don't talk to the MSM at all.

Zero

Zilch

Nada

It's time we on the right take our ball and go home. Cooperating with these hacks doesn't work, so I say ignore them at any cost. No info, no leaks, NOTHING.

The FBI has nothing to do with this case. They were probably the Chinese mafia, i.e., Arkansaside specialists, giving the neighbors their taking points.

" Tucker says the neighbor was question last night '

Is this the lawyer neighbor that was on tv, months ago ?
At that time, he sounded like he was reading from DNC talking points.
I can't imagine he's changed his tune since then.
That the FBI, in a time of war, is reduced to asking neighbors if when Plame borrowed a cup of sugar ,
was she covert, overt or inert - is beyond ridiculous.

She outs herself to a diplomat with a little cash and a smooth smile on the 3rd date.

Quite the superagent, wasn't she?

This is from another article about Plame's neighbors:

"We understood her to work as an economist," said David Tillotson, a 62-year old lawyer.

Now, am I wrong, or is that different from this "new" neighbor said tonight?

If Rove is in the clear, doesn't it mean he squealed on Libby?

This investigation took 2 years so far, and unlike the Clinton administration, no one in this administration took anything to the SC to be stopped. Everyone cooperated. Miller said she "feared for her life", but Rove twice told her to please testify. It wasn't Rove , Libby, or Bush she was afraid of.
My finger just keeps pointing to Wilson and Plame. They're dirty.
