Grand Jury List of Witnesses & Documents
As we ruminate over Larry Johnson’s analysis- and fact-rich post here last night (“Mambo Italiano and Plame Gate“) … as we read USA Today‘s piece today on Fitz (“Investigator of CIA leak seen as relentless,” via Salon‘s Daou Report) … and as we wish we were quiet little flies on the walls of Fitz’s office (shhh, stop the buzzin’, Catnip!) as he talks to Judith Miller today* — here’s a list of journalists called before the CIA Leak grand jury, as of 2004, from Newsday (article not available any longer) via JustOneMinute blog:
- Robert Novak, “Crossfire,” “Capital Gang” and the Chicago Sun-Times
- Knut Royce and Timothy M. Phelps, Newsday
- Walter Pincus, Richard Leiby, Mike Allen, Dana Priest and Glenn Kessler, The Washington Post
- Matthew Cooper, John Dickerson, Massimo Calabresi, Michael Duffy and James Carney, Time magazine
- Evan Thomas, Newsweek
- Andrea Mitchell, “Meet the Press,” NBC
- Chris Matthews, “Hardball,” MSNBC
- Tim Russert, Campbell Brown, NBC
- Nicholas D. Kristof, David E. Sanger and Judith Miller, The New York Times
- Greg Hitt and Paul Gigot, The Wall Street Journal
- John Solomon, The Associated Press
- Jeff Gannon, Talon News
Also tantalizing is a partial list of documents subpoenaed:
- “[R]ecords of Air Force One telephone calls in the week before the officer’s name was published in a column in July
- “[R]ecords created in July by the White House Iraq Group, a little-known internal task force established in August 2002 to create a strategy to publicize the threat posed by Saddam Hussein.”
- “[A] transcript of a White House spokesman’s press briefing in Nigeria”
- “[A] list of those attending a birthday reception for a former president”
- “[R]ecords of White House contacts with more than two dozen journalists and news media outlets”
- “[A] complete transcript of a July 12 press “gaggle,” or informal briefing, by then-White House press secretary Ari Fleischer while at the National Hospital in Abuja, Nigeria. That transcript is missing from the White House Web site containing transcripts of other press briefings. In a transcript the White House released at the time to Federal News Service, Fleischer discusses Wilson and his CIA report.”
