Big Time!!!!
Rove-a-Palooza/Take a Letter from Libby/Miller's Crossing

Wow. I'm on freakin' pins and needles about the drips and drabs that are coming out about the PlameGate affair. Raw Story, which has been far ahead of this story in the last week or so than any other news source, has a very, very interesting tidbit from sources close to the investigation:

A senior aide to Vice President Dick Cheney is cooperating with special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald in the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson, sources close to the investigation say.

Individuals familiar with Fitzgerald’s case tell RAW STORY that John Hannah, a senior national security aide on loan to Vice President Dick Cheney from the offices of then-Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Affairs, John Bolton, was named as a target of Fitzgerald’s probe. They say he was told in recent weeks that he could face imminent indictment for his role in leaking Plame-Wilson’s name to reporters unless he cooperated with the investigation.

Others close to the probe say that if Hannah is cooperating with the special prosecutor then he was likely going to be charged as a co-conspirator and may have cut a deal.
