James Carville: Special Counsel Fitzgerald to Subpoena Top Timesman

NewsMax ^ | 8/8/05

The most interesting item from Carville was about the tight ship Fitzgerald runs and that actually no one knows exactly where this is going. The "heavy, heavy speculation" was political driven to discredit the Bush Administration.

[Freee-dame]

My sense is

These pundits just make up ideas and then put them out as facts. There is usually a disclaimer which changes a statement into a theory, but the MSM often picks it up and runs with a total fabrication of imagination as if it were fact.

What ever happened to a person saying "I think it is possible that..." instead of pretending like they have some inside information.

I always picture two NYT reporters chatting as they walk down Pennsylvania Ave. whenever I read "sources close to the White House say..."

[InterceptPoint]

I think you've got it.

[Minnesocold]

Carville has a leak problem...

[BTCM]

Am I the only one who has considered Mr.&Mrs. Carville-yes, James the liberal and Mary the conservative are both up to their arm pits in the leak to Novak and clowns? I don't trust either one of them and never have. They have become filthy rich being the married Hannity and Combs. like the Capital one commercial says, yet you keep on listening.

[Boundless]

Whether what Carville says is true or not, the question is:

Why would he mention it at all?

The lib mantra is that this is all about Rove, and what
Jimmie has just blabbed is entirely inconsistent with
official DNC propaganda (and he's a major author of
that crap).

If true, he's putting the lib community on notice that
the jig is nearly up.

If false, I expected more anti-Bush spin to be woven
into the announcement. It wasn't.

[Carling]

I'm wondering when David Corn will get a subpoena.

I heard Carville on the Imus program this morning and he was so matter-of-fact that it just went right by me. At the beginning of the interview, Imus asked him what had happened to cause Novak to walk off of the CNN show. Carville lied and squirmed about it and said he didn't know what had upset Novak. Imus just left his answer on the table and I believe that Carville was relieved that the I-Man changed the subject that he just started spouting off whatever rattled around in his brain. Mary Matlin will be on the Imus program tomorrow. We'll see what she says about all of this.

"And the left would also have us all believe that Judy Miller is in jail to protect Rove."

Yes, it's virtually impossible that Miller is in jail to protect either Rove or Libby, who've both signed confidentiality waivers. I think she's protecting one of the following:

1. Herself
2. Valerie Plame
3. Joseph Wilson
4. Colin Powell or a Powell loyalist
5. Some relatively unknown State or CIA official who was in cahoots with Plame.

[Steve_Seattle]

"heavy, heavy speculation out there" that Miller was being used by the White House to "disseminate this"

This could be a roundabout way of saying that Miller is the one who ORIGINALLY knew about Plame's identity, and that the White House got the info from her and then spread it to other reporters such as Novak and Cooper. Miller had written on WMD issues for years, and it is easy to imagine her path crossing that of Valerie Plame during that time.

[ken5050]

Good point...also..is it perhaps curious that Carville comes out with this a few days after Novak stormed off the set on CNN, after saying a "bad" word to Carville..

[dead]

[notigar]

Seriously, there are agents for the CIA working at the major newspapers and magazines. She is in all likelihood one of them.

[connectthedots]

Carville said there was "heavy, heavy speculation out there" that Miller was being used by the White House to "disseminate this" - an apparent reference to CIA employee Valerie Plame's name.

If this were true, it would be on the front page of the NY Times.

[Steve_Seattle]

"If true, he's putting the lib community on notice that the jig is nearly up."

If Fitzgerald is really pursuing these other NYT staffers, what does it suggest? That it was mainly the Times that was trying to expose Plame and thereby create a scandal to embarrass the President? After all, a key fact is that Joseph Wilson's story - which started the whole thing - was published in the New York Times, and that was the first time Cheney had heard about the trip. It really creates the impression that the Times was in cahoots with rogue elements at State and/or the CIA to embarrass Bush.

[areafiftyone]

Carville has been reading DU again!

[Enchante]

"Carville said there was "heavy, heavy speculation"

Is that 'heavy' speculation among the libs anything like the 'heavy' makeout session that Joe Wilson had with swinging divorcee Valerie Plame, the one that prompted her to give up her supposed "deep cover" with the CIA on only their 2nd or 3rd date???? Beware of liberals getting 'heavy' and breathless over just about anything...... it generally isn't good for the USA!!
