(Story up now) Rawstory: ROVE SAID TO BE 'OFFICIAL A,' NOVAK'S SOURCE...

Edited on Fri Oct-28-05 06:15 PM by MelissaB

Is this new?

Edited to add:

Rove is 'Official A,' Novak's source, lawyers say

Jason Leopold and John Byrne

Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove was the mysterious 'Official A' named in the indictment of Vice President Dick Cheney's Chief of Staff, lawyers close to the case have told RAW STORY.

Rove is expected to be identified in several newspapers Saturday. The Associated Press is also close to naming Rove as 'Official A.'

Rove's role in the case remains unclear. Those familiar with the investigation say that Rove remains in legal limbo and that Fitzgerald has not finished his inquiry into Bush's chief advisor's role.

Rove may be called on to testify against Libby in the latter's trial.

5. Novak wouldn't know a partisan if one kicked him in the ass.

He's a total hack. And yet he doesn't believe he himself is partisan!

Novak should not be believed.

4. They also said

Edited on Fri Oct-28-05 06:04 PM by demobabe

there was going to be 22 indictments, then 2 indictments, and that they were going to announce them a number of times in the last two weeks...

They don't know any more than anybody else - but this one is obvious.

Novak talked to Rove. That's been the story all along.

6. It's new, it's also probably speculatory bullshit.

Raw Story is nothing more than a "left-wing" Drudge Report when it comes to their "Breaking News" Section. Take it all with a grain of salt.

12. Others are confirming.

Who is Official A? Only unnamed sources will say

By Pete Yost
ASSOCIATED PRESS

3:46 p.m. October 28, 2005

WASHINGTON � In a sign of the trouble lingering for the Bush administration, the indictment handed up Friday in the CIA leak probe refers to someone at the White House known as "Official A."
The unidentified official could become a courtroom witness against I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, who left his job as vice presidential aide shortly after his indictment on charges of obstruction of justice, making false statements and perjury.

Although other officials are mentioned but not named in the indictment, all were identified Friday afternoon during briefings at the Justice Department.

Except for "Official A."

The mysterious official is identified in the indictment only as "a senior official in the White House."

...snip

Late Friday, three people close to the investigation, each asking to remain unidentified because of grand jury secrecy, identified Rove as Official A.
