Source to Stephanopoulos: President Bush Directly Involved In Leak Scandal

I was watching This Week today and saw this discussion between Stephanopoulos and George Will. I was suprised to hear him say it but there must be more to this story or George would not have put himself out there like that. If this is the case and if indictments come up by the end of the month, Oct 28th is when the grand jury will be released, its not going to be a fun November for the Repubs. Just imagine if both Bush and Cheney and their aides are indicted, that would be for some blockbuster November sweeps. Forget about Lost and Desparate Housewives, Plamegate takes center stage and the neilson ratings.

I have been scanning the blogs and getting everything from there is no story, Fitzgerald will wrap it up and report no laws were broken to a vast conspiracy to smear Joe Wilson orchestrated by the White House. I have come to the conclusion that the Frist scandal is dead, there will be nothing that comes out of that one, but the Delay, Abramoff and Plamegate are still going strong. 3 out of 4 ain't bad plus you still have the FEMA/Michael Brown, the rebuilding of New Orleans and the Iraq war weighing down on this administration.

Near the end of a round table discussion on ABC’s This Week, George Stephanopoulos dropped this bomb:

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.

This would explain why Bush spent more than an hour answering questions from special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. It would also fundamentally change the dynamics of the scandal. President Bush could no longer claim he was merely a bystander who wants to “get to the bottom of it.” As Stephanopoulos notes, if Bush played a direct role it could make this scandal completely unmanageable.
