October 14, 2005 -- To all those who have been kind with their
support for this site, thanks again so much! Now, let me report
to you what I've discovered prowling Washington tonight on the
CIA Leakgate story, the "October Surprise" scandal that
threatens the survival of the G.W. Bush/Cheney administration.
Political insiders tracking this scandal are reporting that the
GOP and neo-con political machines, which have also targeted
Travis County, Texas District Attorney Ronnie Earle in
retaliation for his indictments of Tom DeLay and other Texas GOP
operatives, are also setting their sights on CIA Leakgate
special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald.
The word inside the Beltway is that if Fitzgerald delivers
indictments against senior White House officials he will face
unspecified "consequences."
"It's a sign of desperation on the part of the White House and
Karl Rove's machine," said one individual familiar with the
case. Another informed observer pointed out that Fitzgerald "is
the last guy the White House would want to threaten with
retaliation."
Tomorrow, Rove is scheduled to testify for the fourth time
before the grand jury investigating the CIA leak and the
associated conspiracy to obstruct justice by the White House
Iraq Group (WHIG).
