Prosecutor asks NY Times reporter to testify again
36 minutes ago
A federal prosecutor has asked New York Times reporter Judith Miller to make a second appearance on Wednesday before a federal grand jury investigating who leaked the name of a CIA operative, a New York Times official said on Tuesday.
The decision by federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald followed the disclosure that Miller had found notes

I remember this now...the WaPo piece I think was from Pincus....there was a section in the article that almost matched a section in the Wilson Op-Ed.... word for word.
I think it came up on one of our threads last week.
"Since you have only been around here five weeks, why would I expect a troll?"
I agree with you. Right after I posted my first message, I posted a clarification for the "troll hunters". Please see post #12.
Its all about perjury now - opposing stories have been given from both "sides" (the reporters versus Libby/Rove).
Its still a 50/50 situation - this could go either way.
Looks to me like obstruction.
There were two charities; the other was Global Relief and involved Miller's colleague, Philip Shenon.
>>It was the so-called "Holy Land Foundation" (Islamo-fascist terrorist funders) raid which Judith Miller tipped off by calling and asking for comment:
WOW!
HolyLand Foundation Richardson Texas and a related ISP were raided by the FBI a few days before the Attacks.
When was Judi's fonecall and the raid in question?
And here I was thinking, this whole thing revolves around Brewster Jennings Bryan, the CIA front that Val Plame (remember an old Roxy Music song "Virginia Plane", just sub Val's name instead) was with, investigating nuke proliferation worldwide. Firm was shut down after L'Affaire Valerie began percolating.
Ah, I apologize already. You redeemed yourself in subsequent posts.
Miller used Chalabi as a major source. What a crock.
She was hysterical after 911...all over Oprah et al saying an attack was imminent.
Very, very bad reporter.
Last night on HARDBALL, Tom Oliphant said to Matthews, " a reporter might be indicted". He wasn't saying he believed it would happen, he was just mentioning the possibility to Matthews, sort of a caution for Matthews not to dwell only on Rove and Livvy.
James Warren of the Chicago Tribune said much the same thing tonight on HARDBALL.
how does perjury extend to obstruction - in other words, don't you have to show that the lies were part of some organized effort to hide the truth?
Seems possible that Judith Miler created these notes post facto to support her perjury. If handwritten, I suspect the FBI crime lab could weigh in.
No need to apologize. I have only been here 5 weeks and I have accused others of being trolls. Only to have the Admin Moderator set me straight. So now I stick to the "Welcome to Free Republic" line. My first post on this thread was worded poorly.
Yes, Pincus has appeared before the grand jury.
That's what makes us special. LOL
That's what makes us special. LOL
What gets lost in all the Rove stuff is...who was the first person to leak to Novak? The one that started all this? Tenet?
If the notes are ink of any kind then they should be able to tell how long it's been on the paper.
Libby's bio:
"Prior to joining the current administration, Mr. Libby served as the Managing Partner of the Washington office of the international law firm of Dechert, Price & Rhoads. He was a member of the firm’s litigation department and chaired the Washington office’s Public Policy Practice Group.
In 1993, Mr. Libby was awarded the Department of Defense Distinguished Service Award and the Department of the Navy Distinguished Public Service Award. He received the Department of State’s Foreign Affairs Award for Public Service in 1985.
Mr. Libby graduated magna cum laude from Yale University in 1972, and earned a law degree from Columbia University in 1975. He is a member of the American Bar Association Standing Committee on Law and National Security"
I doubt Libby would put himself in a "bad situation" in front of a grand jury. I believe that Fitz is beyond the Libby/Rove angle and Fitz is seriously looking deeper into the press and Wilson.
"Miller's notes could be significant because they suggest that Cheney's office knew who Wilson was and started talking to reporters about him some two weeks BEFORE Wilson publicly criticized the administration's Iraq policy in a New York Times opinion piece on July 6, 2003"
If that were the case why did it take Novak to make the story public. Seems like somebody would have gotten the data to the press sooner.
Is there a reliable timeline?
