Former Bush official indicted in lobbyist probe
The Bush administration s former chief procurement official was indicted Wednesday by a federal grand jury on charges of making false statements and obstructing investigations into high-powered Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
I have heard things about other indictments coming along too, who knows…
Where there’s smoke……..
From Kos; Lots goin’ on that is unconfirmable, but this is a tad on high on the ‘low-down’
“But Aravosis has a bit of news that is intriguing, and a bit more on the “concrete” side:
I just talked to a source who told me that Karl Rove has been missing from a number of recent White House presidential events – events that he has ALWAYS attended in the past. For example, Rove was absent from yesterday’s presidential press conference to promote Harriet Miers. These are the kind of events Rove ALWAYS attends, I’m told, yet of late he’s been MIA each and every time.
My source tells me that the scuttlebutt around town is that the White House knows something bad is coming, in terms of Karl getting indicted, and they’re already trying to distance him from the president.”
You would think that this would be pleasing, but it sucks – we let them in – twice! We the people let these guys in and gave them power. We need to do a better job around here.
