WHAT YOU AREN'T HEARING, OR SEEING:Read the Injunction (United States VS Scooter Libby) HERE: EARLY ARTICLES: Bush
Hires Lawyer Bush, Atty Huddle On CIA Leak June 2, 2004 President Bush has consulted an outside lawyer in case he needs to retain him in the grand jury investigation of who leaked the name of a covert CIA operative last year, the White House said Wednesday. There was no indication that Bush is a target of the leak investigation, but the president has decided that in the event he needs an attorney's advice, "he would retain him," White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan said. The lawyer is Jim Sharp, Buchan said, confirming a report by CBS Chief White House Correspondent John Roberts. "The president has said that everyone should cooperate in this matter
and that would include himself," the spokeswoman said.
Federal law-enforcement officials said that they have developed hard evidence of possible criminal misconduct by two employees of Vice President Dick Cheney's office related to the unlawful exposure of a CIA officer's identity last year. The investigation, which is continuing, could lead to indictments, a Justice Department official said. According to these sources, John Hannah and Cheney's chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, were the two Cheney employees. "We believe that Hannah was the major player in this," one federal law-enforcement officer said. Calls to the vice president's office were not returned, nor did Hannah and Libby return calls. The strategy of the FBI is to make clear to Hannah "that he faces
a real possibility of doing jail time" as a way to pressure him to
name superiors, one federal law-enforcement official said.
In 41 years as a pundit, Robert D. Novak has rarely shied from controversy.But now Mr. Novak, 73, finds himself a central figure in perhaps the gravest confrontation between the government and the press in a generation, and he has been uncharacteristically circumspect. With a federal judge having ordered two reporters to jail for refusing to name their sources to a grand jury investigating the disclosure of a covert C.I.A. officer, Mr. Novak, whose column identifying the officer set off this showdown, has been under increasing pressure in recent weeks to explain his role. But he determinedly maintains his own counsel. On the C-Span "Washington Journal" this month, he calmly swatted away one caller who asked how it felt to watch others face jail. Then, when queried by Brian Lamb, the program's host, about the matter, he referred dismissively to the reporters, Judith Miller of The New York Times and Matthew Cooper of Time magazine. "I don't know why they're upset with me," Mr. Novak said. "They
ought to worry about themselves. I worry about myself." John

To Bush -- Rove Needs To Come Clean Or Resign After reading the disclosures over the weekend, by Newsweek and Larry O'Donnell that Karl Rove had indeed been confirmed as one of the sources being used by Time for their Plame investigation, I quickly drafted a sign-on letter to the President asking him to either require that Rove clear his name or resign.
President Bush on June 10, 2004, at news conference after G-8 Summit in Sea Island, Ga. Q. Given recent developments in the C.I.A. leak case, particularly Vice President Cheney's discussions with the investigators, do you still stand by what you said several months ago, suggestion that it might difficult to identify anybody who leaked the agent's name? And ... A. That's up Q. And do you stand by your pledge to fire anyone found to have done so? And A. Yes. Q. And finally A. And that's up to the U.S. attorney - to find the facts.
