WHITE HOUSE KNOWS ABOUT INDICTMENTS

Friday, October 21, 2005 - FreeMarketNews.com

The Wayne Madsen Report states that the White House is now fully informed about the nature and scope of the indictments handed down by Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald this week. He cited a report of Attorney General Albert Gonzalez holding a meeting with Fitzgerald on Wednesday, at which the AG was briefed on the prosecutor's findings, and the Grand Jury was released after brief questions.

Madsen quotes "informed sources in Washington," as saying that Vice President Dick Cheney's Chief of Staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, is expected to resign after his indictment, for his role in outing a covert CIA agent, Valerie Plame Wilson, wife of Ambassador Joseph Wilson. He points to the phony terrorist threats in New York City and Baltimore as examples of how "the Bush White House is hopelessly diverting the public's attention away from the inevitability of a major October political scandal involving high level resignations following indictments of key administration officials."

He also notes the successful manipulation of the beginning of Saddam Hussein's trial in Iraq, as one more effort "to divert attention from Leakgate," with the postponement of those sessions to the end of November, leaving, as he puts it, "a story waiting on the shelf to be pulled off again when pre-trial hearings may begin in Leakgate." - ST

4. No wonder it was imperative that Andy Card be with

the Monkey this weekend at Camp David. Card had to cancel a GOP fundraiser (and you know how much these creeps love to rake in the money).

6. sorry, but....

madsen has a great imagination, is probably a decent journalist, but i've seen a half dozen of these types of stories from him. let's say that his i don't know which is better- his imagination or his sources.
my money is on his imagination. when you start to use logic, the story tends to get a little shakier.

like... why would fitz give the white house a heads up? profewssional courtesy? this is out of the DOJ's hands now.

8. ummm...Wayne Madsen report? Don't think so. Any Raw Story?

12. Someone hip me to Madsen so I know better for next time.

Sorry for any disappointments.

[longship]

9. I'll believe it when I read it. Gonzalez recused himself.

Madsen? Who knows whether this is on the mark?

I think he's correct about Libby. (Gees, who couldn't predict that?)

But a Gonzalez meeting with Fitzgerald is highly unlikely. Why? It's simple. Gonzalez has recused himself from this specific case. It would be inappropriate for him to interject himself into it at this time.

So Madsen's whole story may be suspect.
