Holy Crap!!!
Unsubstaniated rumor alert!!!!!
Light blogging today, Astros fan, and that was the main attraction today. But Holy Crap!!! What'd I miss.
From ThinkProgress (mainstream far left.)
It's delivered as kindof a throwaway line, but did Snuffleupogus just say that he has a source that said Bush was in discussions of who and when? If true, isn't that obstruction after the fact? Does that mean he lied to the grand jury, or told the truth there, then lied in his speeches? Or is Snuffleupogus just blowing smoke? Would explain the outside defense council?
Don't know, but that's a pretty big thing to just mention as an aside.
UPDATE: Also, reports from MSNBC, that if Miller didn't testify, Fitzgerald was going to empanel another grand jury which would mean another 18 months in jail for Miller. So, the message I'm reading in this is either, Fitzgerald was simply bluffing, raising the stakes to scare Miller into compliance, or.....
He's hunting some really big game and Miller's piece is the connection to substantiate the rumored conspiracy charges, rather than the classified info charges, which would include a lot more people who thought they could plan, but not leak, and get away with it.
Maybe Big. Now if we could just crawl up the chain on the Franklin/AIPAC case .......

Near the end of a round table discussion on ABC’s This Week, George Stephanopoulos dropped this bomb:
Video here:Definitely a political problem but I wonder, George Will, do you think it’s a manageable one for the White House especially if we don’t know whether Fitzgerald is going to write a report or have indictments but if he is able to show as a source close to this told me this week, that President Bush and Vice President Cheney were actually involved in some of these discussions.
