One Novak away from the Mayberry Machiavelli01/07/2004 01:57 PM Why Did Attorney General Ashcroft Remove
Himself From The Valerie Plame Wilson Leak Investigation? If
there is a witness willing to testify against one -- or both -- of the
leakers in exchange for immunity, what then? It seems likely that
Fitzgerald will move very quickly to find out if there is indeed a
case to be made against the leakers. To bolster his case, he may call
Novak and others to the grand jury or, as noted above, subpoena
Novak's (and others') phone records over the relevant period. Even
Ashcroft himself could in theory be called to the grand jury. If this
case does not make headlines in 90 to 120 days, it will be quite
surprising. There has been too much high level action and Comey, a
presidential appointee, knows that politically it would be better for
Bush & Company to have the matter flushed out within the next few
months, than to have it arise just before the November election.
Needless to say, this could be an interesting year for the White
House, with more than reelection to worry about. Grok Description matches for machiavelli GrokA matches for machiavelli
