Fitz to talk to more people and possible espionage charge...

[cynatnite]

snip:
Meanwhile, Mr. Fitzgerald has indicated that he is not entirely finished with Judith Miller, the reporter for The New York Times who recently testified before the grand jury after serving 85 days in jail. According to a lawyer familiar with the case, Mr. Fitzgerald has asked Ms. Miller to meet him next Tuesday to further discuss her conversations with I. Lewis Libby, the vice president's chief of staff.

snip:
In coming days, the lawyers said, Mr. Fitzgerald is likely to request that several other White House officials return to the grand jury to testify about their actions in the case - appearances that are believed to be pivotal as the prosecutor proceeds toward a charging decision.

Mr. Fitzgerald is also re-examining grand jury testimony by Mr. Libby, the lawyers said, but it is unknown whether he has been asked to appear again before the grand jury. Mr. Libby's lawyer, Joseph A. Tate, did not respond to telephone messages left on Thursday at his office.

snip:
One new approach appears to involve the possible use of Chapter 37 of the federal espionage and censorship law, which makes it a crime for anyone who "willfully communicates, delivers, transfers or causes to be communicated" to someone "not entitled to receive it" classified information relating the national defense matters.

Under this broad statute, a government official or a private citizen who passed classified information to anyone else in or outside the government could potentially be charged with a felony, if they transferred the information to someone without a security clearance to receive it.

1. He's got only one chance to do it right.

Patience.

2. He's going for Cheney

All this is revolving around Libby. Libby = Cheney. Cheney will resign for health reasons shortly, mark my words.

3. Then who runs the puppet *?

[Stephanie]

4. He's a Mommy's boy anyway -

Condi & Karen will run him.

5. That was my first thought after reading this...

I don't know if indictments will come or not. I'm taking a wait and see attitude, but I thought it was an interesting read.

Cheney's in this hip deep.

6. What are the chances

That Libby would have acted in this manner without orders from Cheney? Cheney has to be charged with something --

Does anyone think there will be an uprising if Rove and gang are not charged? I think the reaction will be much worse than after the fiasco they called an election, and I've never seen THAT kind of hate in my lifetime regarding anything political.
