Rove, McClellan Interviewed in Leak Probe

[Spazito]

WASHINGTON - The FBI (news - web sites) has interviewed more than three dozen Bush administration officials, including political adviser Karl Rove and press secretary Scott McClellan, in its investigation into the leak of an undercover CIA (news - web sites) officer's identity.


The interviews have extended beyond the White House to other government agencies. The Defense and State departments and the CIA itself also are part of the probe.


The focus, however, remains on the White House, two law enforcement officials said on condition of anonymity. While the initial, informal interviews have yielded no major breaks, the FBI is satisfied that the dozen agents assigned to the probe are making progress and have not encountered any stalling tactics, the officials said Thursday

Democrats repeatedly have urged Attorney General John Ashcroft (news - web sites) to appoint a special counsel or recuse himself because of his close political ties to the White House. They also question why the Justice Department (news - web sites) waited several days after the investigation began to ask White House staffers to preserve documents.

[Caution]

1. is it a stalling tactic to say

"I did not identify that woman" ?? I'm sure that was Rove's tactic.

2. Get over there and RATE IT! Give this puppy a "5" on Yahoo highest rated

Then come back here and report where it is. It's high now but doesn't have many votes. We need to get it to the top and keep it up to keep it alive. We can make a difference here!

what creeps!

[tridim]

7. Rove and Rush are two peas in a pod

They look exactly the same. Maybe they share the same "pharmacist" too?

8. Yeah, it must be pretty cool to know the fix is in

or to be Capos of the most powerful Crime Family and Imperial Dynasty since perhaps Caeser.

To know that you can do damned near anything and get away with it.

Rat bastards. I would hope that Judeo-Christian Hell exists if only to see Rove sharing a room with "soulmate" Goebbels (who undoubtedly would have nothing but admiration for Herr Roverer).

15. Whya are Republicans always so ill-colored and softish?

4. Now at 4.79

6. FBI - "Did you leak the info?" Rove - "uh uh" FBI - "Well..alright then"

Case closed. Another exemplary FBI probe completed. Rest easy, America.

9. Still no mention of investigating the VP

or anyone in his office.

Seems the most obvious source of the information about who Plame really was is still being totally ignored. I guess with Cheney's heart condition he needs more time to shred all the evidence.

10. No Major Break throughs ! BULL!

:bounce:

[fishnfla]

11. THIS IS SUCH A CROCK OF FUCK

I'm tired of saying this, but if this was the Clinton White House.....

what a fucking joke

[diplomats]

12. I feel the same way

It's frustrating. It would take them 5 minutes to find the leaker(s) if they put maximum effort into it.

[0007]

13. What a joke!

Until we get a special investigation this isn't going no where. Ashcroft is saying all the right things, 'eh?

[leetrisck]

14. Interviewed??? What a strange choice of words -

such as "Hi, how are you guys today? Out any spies today? HA HA That's probably how the "interview" went.

[young_at_heart]

17. How much taxpayer money is going for this charade?

You know they are laughing their heads off!
