mike nervous
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
are any of you as nervous as i am about what special prosecutor patrick fitzgerald is up to? if indictments against high officials in the white house are handed out, the reverberations will be huge. it will be like after hurricane katrina struck. the impact will only grow.
there are, from press reports, apparently 22 people associated with the white house that may be targeted. if i was one of those 22, i’d be calling the special prosecutor and trying to make a deal, especially after it was reported yesterday that a midlevel white house employee in dick cheney’s office had been flipped.
maybe this explains why the special prosecutor hasn’t released his findings yet, if this waiting game is making me this nervous, imagine how those under the microscope must be feeling.
FROM THE NY DAILY NEWS, HERE’S THE LATEST: BUSH KNEW
An angry President Bush rebuked chief political guru Karl Rove TWO YEARS AGO for his role in the Valerie Plame affair, sources told the Daily News.
“He made his displeasure known to Karl,” a presidential counselor told The News. “He made his life miserable about this.”
Bush has nevertheless remained doggedly loyal to Rove, who friends and even political adversaries acknowledge is the architect of the President’s rise from baseball owner to leader of the free world.
WHEN YOU READ FURTHER DOWN IN THE PIECE, YOU SEE WHAT MADE BUSH ANGRY WASN’T THE LEAK, IT WAS THAT THEY GOT CAUGHT-
Bush has always known that Rove often talks with reporters anonymously and he generally approved of such contacts, one source said.
But the President felt Rove and other members of the White House damage-control team did a clumsy job in their campaign to discredit Plame’s husband, Joseph Wilson, the ex-diplomat who criticized Bush’s claim that Saddam Hussen tried to buy weapons-grade uranium in Niger.
A second well-placed source said some recently published reports implying Rove had deceived Bush about his involvement in the Wilson counterattack were incorrect and were leaked by White House aides trying to protect the President.
“Bush did not feel misled so much by Karl and others as believing that they handled it in a ham-handed and bush-league way,” the source said.
