Prosecutor Quiet After Miller's Testimony

Miller's own work has become part of that controversy.

Starting in 2002, her stories for the Times on purported weapons of mass destruction in Iraq strengthened the administration's hand in going to war. The failure to find the weapons prompted heavy criticism of Miller and the Times as well as of the administration.

Until a few months ago, the White House maintained that Libby and presidential aide Karl Rove were not involved in leaking Plame's identity. Both now appear to have had a role, based on revelations that began in July with the grand jury testimony of Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper.

In October 2003, with the criminal investigation of the Plame leak gaining speed, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said of Rove and Libby: "Those individuals assured me they were not involved in this."

Plamegate Prosecutor Stays Silent

(AP) WASHINGTON It has been two years since a grand jury began looking into the Valerie Plame CIA identity case, a criminal investigation that could close up shop shortly or cause more pain for the Bush White House.

Following Friday's grand jury testimony by New York Times reporter Judith Miller, special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald gave no indication of his plans and his spokesman refused to comment.

"I'm leaving," was all Fitzgerald offered to reporters as the prosecutor left the federal courthouse where he had just won the latest round in his investigation. He had finally persuaded Miller to cooperate after she spent 85 days in jail for refusing to testify.

....

If Fitzgerald seeks indictments against anyone, the ensuing prosecution would have as its backdrop one of the Bush administration's biggest political problems — its failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, the main justification used by the president for going to war.

2. If he didn't have anything, he would have thrown in his cards by now

He knows the stakes are way too high for him to risk "going all in" on a bluff.

4. She debases the press by using the pretense of protecting sources

for her blatant cheer leading of B*shCo. Her actions make her look more and more like a press agent employee of the WH. I suspect that she is on WH press office payroll.

3. After 85 Days of Getting No Sympathy From the Public or the Press

Miller throws in the towel under a fig leaf of "permission". It's amusing.
