ABCNEWS TELLS WHITE HOUSE OF 'INDICTMENT' Tue Oct 25 2005 19:08:02 ET
"We have double sourced that the vice president's chief of staff has been indicted," a reporter for ABCNEWS claimed to a White House press spokesman this afternoon.
The White House refused to comment on the claim. The network said they didn't need comment, they were preparing to run with the development on this evening's network news broadcast, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
ABCNEWS claimed to the White House that it had double sourced how an indictment against vice presidential chief of staff I. Lewis Libby was set.
A senior White House source quickly determined ABC was bluffing; the report did not run on the East coast feed of the program.
Developing...
UPDATE
ABC NEWS spokesman Jeff Schneider tells the DRUDGE REPORT: "There is nothing at all true about us having double sourced anything" regarding indictments.
More from Drudge:
CBS’ JOHN ROBERTS: Lawyers familiar with the case think Wednesday is when special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald will make known his decision, and that there will be indictments. Supporters say Rove and the vice president’s chief of staff, Scooter Libby, are in legal jeopardy...
Another update from Drudge:
Indictments in CIA leak case ‘about to be handed down’
Well if that is true, it proves Fitzgerald really is a partisan moron.
The person(s) who should be "frog marched in hand cuffs" are Wilson and his very strange wife.
Oh heck, what are laws anyway. A Bush staffer can be guilty of a non-crime by the press and wait for sentencing by the "judge". We have really gotten to the point of disregard for anything but public opinion.
I thought Fitzgerald told his people to keep their mouths shut?
Fitzgerald is a loser in this department.
Which is why this probe was created, to get Rove. If he is not indicted you can bet it is a no case and whoever is indicted is just for show.
They wanna go to war, THEN
BRING IT ON !!!
....LOL...me too...its ...so....so...diabolical...soooo ROVIAN. (gawd I love that word...its gotta piss of the liberals something fierce....)
You want to contact the FBI?

They have to get a change of venue though in any such trial. Isn't DC something like 200% Democrat if you count the dead people that still vote?
I agree, and most pathetic, if true, by a so-called "straight-shooter" prosecutor. As someone else mentioned, his probe had more leaks than the whole Plame incident.
"We have double sourced that the vice president's chief of staff has been indicted," a reporter for ABCNEWS claimed to White House communications director Nicolle Wallace this afternoon... MORE... "
Then whoever gave the false information is guilty of obstruction of justice.
Either we have have a leak or a lie. Seems like it should be investigated either way.
It wouldn't surprise me that the rumor started with the DNC as a way to create a bandwagon effect.
If there is an indictment, democrats win.
If there is no indictment, they'll claim a cover-up or getting off on a technicality. The goal is to make the public believe they are guilty.
Once again proving: Never put anyone named "Scooter" in a powerful position.
Only if it involves a Republican.
Is this unreal or what? An (illegal) leak about an (illegal) leak probe!
Well... maybe it kind kind of old after indictment number 40.
You'd think that would just be common sense.
