According to
Raw
Story it very well could be the case :
New York Daily News source believes
senior White House official has flipped in leak case10/17/2005 @ 9:54 pm Filed by RAW STORY
The case of outed CIA agent Valerie Plame is set to explode.
Advertisement The New York Daily News is set to report in Tuesday
editions that a well-placed source interviewed by the newspaper believes a
senior White House official has flipped and may be helping the prosecutor in
the case, RAW STORY has learned.The Daily News will reveal that a top source believes that based on the
questioning of Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald and his other contacts
with the investigation, someone in the White House has turned.All eyes are on Dick Cheney, the News says, as the investigation wraps
up.The piece follows on the heels of on a story by Bloomberg News and an
article by RAW STORY last week confirming that the prosecutor is probing the
Vice President.Also under a microscope is the White House Iraq Group, an ad-hoc strategy
group started by Bush chief of staff Andrew Card aimed at selling the war in
Iraq.Two officials close to Fitzgerald told RAW STORY they have seen documents
obtained from the White House Iraq Group which state that Cheney was present
at several of the group’s meetings. They say Cheney personally discussed
with individuals in attendance at least two interviews in May and June of
2003 Wilson gave to New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof and Washington
Post reporter Walter Pincus, in which he claimed the administration
“twisted†prewar intelligence and what the response from the administration
should be.
This news coming out on the same day that
Bloomberg broke the story that investigators are looking into Cheney’s
involvement makes it that much more credible. Numerous stories have come out
latley talking about tensions between Bush and Cheney, and this will greatly add
to that tension.
Also
Reuters is reporting that Fitzgerald’s spokesman has announced that any
release of information or indictments will take place in Washington, and not in
his office’s state of Chicago. That is setting the stage for findings to come
out in the very near future.
