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’
Here is to hoping that it is Wilson and Plame to be indicted.
Fitz better have a helluva tight case for indicting Rove/Cheney/Libby
WHAT THE HECK kind of indictment are they talking about?
AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LMAO!
Who leaked to ABC News?
I thought Fitzgerald told his people to keep their mouths shut?
dunno, but abc has been outside Fitz' office for 2 weeks....apparently someone has leaked that indictments are official as of 540pm cst
If ABC has to tell the White House, you can bet it's not Rove, Libby or Cheney being indicted.
Maybe CBS- they had it for their lead on the evening news.
typical MSM trying to see if the WH flinches.
slug bug blue!
woot! Thanks...now we know where it came from Anybody But Conservatives (or Christians)
R-U-S-S-E-R-T
ABC better hope someone's not having some fun with them....
It's not on-line.
Amen...couldnt have said it better.
Isn't leaking grand jury information a felony?
"If ABC has to tell the White House, you can bet it's not Rove, Libby or Cheney being indicted."
That is a very logical point.
ah, i see. Oh well i can go back to doing whatever I was doing cause sounds boring to me, lol!
and if there are no indictments, wouldn't spreading untruths about it be obstruction of justice?
