A Reuters news story today floats the speculation that, according to lawyers close to the case, not only are Rove and Libby in trouble but “former administration officials” may also be facing charges.
Rumours have been swirling around for the past while that some mysterious person from outside of the White House may be the source of the leak or had some part to play in it. Most of the other potential targets we’ve focused on lately are still currently in this administration: Bolton, Wurmser, Hannah etc.
So, who are these “former” officials? Colin Powell? Ari Fleischer? Richard Perle? Jennifer Millerwise? One of the WHIGS who has since left the administration?
All will be revealed, hopefully, on Friday when it is expected that Patrick Fitzgerald will finally announce his results.

It’s becoming less and less frequent that I approve of the way my tax dollars are being spent, but I’m happy that some of them are being used for Fitzgerald’s office to expand into additional office space across the street from their current digs, according the Steve Clemons at The Washington Note. That doesn’t seem like the sign of someone who’s just wrapping things up.
Can we get the IRS to put another check box on next year’s tax forms: Would you like to contribute $3 to the fund to finance the Special Prosecutor’s Office?
I bet a whole lot of folks would like to have that option available to them.
Make it $10.00 if it will help.
You deserve at least two 4’s for that one, If you were on My Left Wing it would be an 11!
Might that refer to folks in the Bush pere administration?
Baker, Scowcroft? They might know something since they at times have been called in to clean up some mess for kidddy Bush.
Was Bolton an administration official? He was in the State Department, right? U.N. ambassador, that’s not an administration official, is it? One can only hope.
You have toughted off my good button here with that one….:o)
I do think, however, that when we are thinking of the investigation and what they have gone into researching, I think the forgery from Italy was for that reason. God only knows who is in that one! I happen to feel that Bolton is one major player here and this would be just great too. He needs his knees capped for once and go to the jury.
Then again, we might be talking about may Matlin. She was former administration employee.
whoops….may= Mary
could be….but there are many who have left, that might be complicit. Lets talk the likes of D. Feith and his crowd. Maybe woffie…who knows…Hughes is back in the administration today, isnt she?
