Plamegate Update

Cheney May be a Target

Just across the wires from Bloomberg: "A special counsel is focusing on whether Vice President Dick Cheney played a role in leaking a covert CIA agent's name, according to people familiar with the probe that already threatens top White House aides Karl Rove and Lewis Libby."

Our earlier roundup focused on Libby. But this report says Patrick Fitzgerald "has questioned Cheney's communications adviser Catherine Martin and former spokeswoman Jennifer Millerwise and ex-White House aide Jim Wilkinson about the vice president's knowledge of the anti-Wilson campaign and his dealings on it with Libby... The information came from multiple sources, who requested anonymity because of the secrecy and political sensitivity of the investigation."

A Wall Street Journal story broadens Fitzgerald's investigation "into possible misconduct by Vice President Dick Cheney's office."

It's not yet clear Cheney will be criminally charged in this case, but it is becoming certain that the dealings of the vice president's office in relation to the CIA leak will be the focus of Fitzgerald's report. What's far from clear is whether Bush will enforce his promise to fire "anyone involved" in the leak.

One thing to note: In his book, former Ambassador Joe Wilson originally wrote that Libby leaked the name of Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, and Cheney knew about it.

So Dick is a suspect, would would have thought, not me he is the most respectable and honest person in the administration. So what does this mean, will Dick resign due to "health reasons" and we get a new VP? Hmm, who could it be, Condi, Rummy, Andy Card, Alberto Gonzolas, Jeb Bush? We all know Bush likes to promote from within and what a better way to get a jumpstart on the '08 presidental election than to have a VP that will run for office. Everyone knows Cheney was involved its just can Fitzgerald prove it. We all know Bush knew of the plan and Cheney was the one that pulled the trigger. What we don't know is who will take the fall.
