What the &*#@ is up with Novak and the Probe?

[goodwalt]

I have been dumbfounded by what is going on with the Plame probe, and even more dumbfounded that nobody seems to be commenting on it. Seeing as they ARE trying to send two reporters to jail for refusing to cooperate, they DO APPEAR to be pursuing this. What has me flummoxed is that neither reporter is Novak- THE REPORTER that blew Plame's cover. Both Novak and the special prosecutor refuse to comment on whether or not he has testified. I can only come up with two possible resolutions for this mystery. 1- The SP is shilling for the administration, protecting Novak, Rove, and the boys at all costs and using these other reporters as a smokescreen for inaction OR 2-Novak sang like a canary, and they are now just going after confirmation from these other reporters (and delaying high-level charges until after the election). Is there a third (or tenth) possibility out there that I'm missing?

1. Don't use the words Novak and Probe together

I get an ugly mental image

4. Ugly-sure, but

it would make a killing on pay-per-view.

2. Yes, there's a third possibility

It's possible they're interviewing others first and getting the info required to nab Novak.

Not saying it's probable, but it's possible.

3. See Plame threads

6. Thank You

Very informative (and not just for spelling purposes). I realize that NOTHING is going to break out of this before the election- but I dearly would love to see Rove brought up on charges in November. With all the damaging inside info he must have on chimpy, I think * would have to pardon him on his way out. Oh the irony! Pardoning his right hand man for violating his father's signature criminal enactment.

5. I am equally baffled by this question...

Miller, but what about Novak? I'm so glad you addressed this. I've been meaning to myself, or google the topic. I've been thinking about it for about 5 days. Thanks for posting. Maybe I'll get some reasonable answers.

7. Seems like I read (or heard) that Rove was called to

testify before the grand jury on the Valerie Plame case this last weekend. Said he testified for over 2 1/2 hours on Saturday. Wonder why it hasn't been reported more? Am I dreaming? Did Rove testify? Why has Novak been hauled away in leg irons? I want this administration and all their henchmen called before a judge and jury and see their butts in jail where they belong.

8. Rove testified Friday while discussions were on Mary Cheney.

9. typical media burial of news ...to support their repuke candidates...

ROVE SUCKS!!!

:hurts:

10. That's why Rove made such a stink about Mary.

11. You can be pretty sure Rove sold out Cheny, Chimpy, Scooter

& company. I, too, would love to see the whole bunch brought up on charges, kicked out of office, and put in prison-in that order. All the more reason to get Kerry into office then demand some action. If results come out before Janurary, Bushboy will pardon everybody and the game is over-including the intel leaks. But if bushbaby is no longer in command, we'll get 'em and have a chance at a much bigger sweep across the board. This will also (most likely) have a huge effect on the so-called war on terror, as well. Remember- Kerry was the big dog in the prosecution of the BCCI scandels and therby produced the biggest strike against terror organizations around lfifteen years ago.

15. Testified but

He was told that he was not a "target" of the investigation.

12. treason in war time

should have been expedited instead of stonewalled.

throughout most of our history, there would already have been executions over this.

[Warren DeMontague]

14. Most of our history... how about just the Clinton Years.

These folks would have been burned at the stake by the RW.

[Warren DeMontague]

13. Yes. John Kerry called Cheney's daughter a "lesbian".

Until we spend two weeks interviewing 5 disgruntled POWs about how in 1972 John Kerry personally gave them the heartbreak of psoraisis, that is all the news you need to know, Citizen.

16. personally i think any one involved

in outing an active u.s. spy is treasonous. and i dont know how novak and those reporters can live with themselves. just the thought of them makes me sick.
