There have been numerous rumours over the past several months that vice-President Dick Cheney would be out of office in the near future. Some went on pure speculation, while others waged their bets on an accumulation of events surrounding Cheney. It is time to look at this possiblity again. Not going through the previous reasons […]
Fitzmas could be returning. Top White House aide Karl Rove prepared to testify Wednesday for a fifth time before the federal grand jury investigating the leak of a CIA officer’s identity, a person familiar with the case said. Rove consulted with his private lawyers before a scheduled afternoon court appearance and was prepared to answer […]
Writing on behalf of his One America political action committee, former Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards sent an email Saturday seeking signatories in an effort to expand the powers of Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald to investigate President Bush’s role in the strategic leaking of information related to Iraq. In the form letter on Edwards’ […]
Last night MSNBC reported that the sudden shuffle with Rove is an indicator that he may be getting indicted (via Think Progress). KEITH OLBERMANN: First off, the base line here. Has the status of the Fitzgerald grand jury changed? Has the status of Mr. Rove in the investigation process itself changed? DAVID SHUSTER: Well, first […]
The front page of today’s Washington Post has an interesting headline – “White House Shifts Into Survival Mode“: In a White House known for both defiance and optimism, yesterday’s senior staff changes represent a frank acknowledgment of the trouble in which President Bush now finds himself.

Well the Plame case has taken a very interesting turn: A former White House aide under indictment for obstructing a leak probe, I. Lewis Libby, testified to a grand jury that he gave information from a closely-guarded “National Intelligence Estimate” on Iraq to a New York Times reporter in 2003 with the specific permission of […]
So early I raised the question if Card resigning could mean possible more indictments in the Valerie Plame leak case and now we get this article: It may seem as though it’s been moving along at a snail’s pace, but the second part of the federal investigation into the leak of covert CIA agent Valerie […]
Kind of an odd timing for Card to resign now. The reason given by Bush this morning was so that Card could return to “private life”. Sounds kind of Claude Allenish to me. Yesterday Raw Story gave us this: Karl Rove, Deputy White House Chief of Staff and special adviser to President George W. Bush, has […]
It looks like there is still more intrigue to the case of Scooter Libby and the investigation by Patrick Fitzgerald. Editor and Publisher reported this today: Woodward suddenly revealed late last year that he had talked with Libby as well as another unnamed government official about CIA operative Valerie Plame, the wife of former Ambassador […]
