Judy Baby Gets High Profile Visitors- Bolton for one
I saw this on Washington Journal and thought it was an article in the NYT, but couldn't find it. Here is some background:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/theblog/archive/arianna-huffington/the-judy-file-millera_5687.html

clip..
Ever since President Bush slipped him through the UN's backdoor via a recess appointment, John Bolton has been giving reporters the cold shoulder. He strode past them when he showed up at the UN on August 2nd to present his letter of appointment, and WaPo columnist Al Kamen shows that he hasn’t opened up much since (via TWN).

Report: Bolton Visits Judy Miller in Jail
This just in from Arianna...a trusted source tells her that John Bolton recently visited NYT reporter Judith Miller in jail.

I wonder if Fitzgerald will now subpoena Bolton to find out what they talked about. Or if the Alexandria Detention Center monitors conversations during jail visits.

I don't know if this has been posted here before, but it makes you go hmmm for sure.
:freak:

1. Perhaps they're trying to correlate their stories
before the shit hits the fan? Add Bolton to the list of people I pray go down!

2. That was a while ago, wasn't it?
Judy is supposedly singing now. It seems the threat of criminal contempt charges coupled with lack of attention to her "cause" has made her reconsider jail.

4. I don't know about 'singing'. Lou Dobbs mentions how
many days she's been doing time at the end of each program; I've looked but heard nothing about her spilling the beans.

6. It's out there
I'll try to find it. The jest is that her lawyer and the NYT are now saying that if the source gave meaningful permission then Judy would be released from her obligation. Her lawyer is also no longer denying that there are negotiations with Fitzgerald's office.

Perhaps Fitzgerald explained obstruction of justice, criminal conspiracy and criminal contempt consequences to Judy and she chose to accept a grant of immunity? Wouldn't that be cool, the rats turing on each other?

7. I've been searching like mad
The NYtimes doesn't seem to know it's own reporters. Something about Patrick Mattimore and the guests also included Tom Brokaw and Bod Dole + others. I wish I was hitting on all 8 cylinders this morning.
:donut:

I believe some of this happened on Monday, but the elite visitors are like a revolving door. I guess they want to cheer up their scapegoat and reassure her the money will be forthcoming when she gets out. Judy> :D

10. Here you go.

Arianna Huffington: The Judy File: Is Miller Getting Ready to Sing?

This just in: Judy Miller's principled, absolute stand is crumbling.

Buried in the middle of this afternoon's Reuters story on Miller, her lawyer, Floyd Abrams, offers up a bombshell: Miller is looking for an out.

When asked if talks were under way to secure Miller's testimony and release, Abrams replies: "If there are any discussions, they would be private." This after earlier insisting that Miller remained "resolute" about not revealing her confidential source.

If she is so "resolute" why get all cutesy about it? Why not just say, "No, she's not talking. And that's final"?

Well, according to a source with inside knowledge, it's because there are definitely negotiations under way. "Reuters buried the lede," said my source. "But it's there if you read between the lines... Abrams says that Miller 'made a promise and, unless properly released from her promise by her source, she has no choice but to continue to take the position that she's taking.' He's giving her more outs than an extra-inning baseball game. 'Unless properly released from her promise...' In other words, she's bargaining. All this time she's theoretically been standing on principle, and now she's come down from her principled perch and is bargaining."

*more*

Here's another link: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050908/ts_nm/bush_leak_dc

I'm surprised this isn't well known, maybe someone should start a thread.

11. Thanks for that link
Do you think Judy will sing or did Bolton's visit clam her back up?
