Judith Miller Out of Jail, Will Testify Friday

By E&P Staff

Published: September 29, 2005 8:00 PM ET

NEW YORK Judith Miller, The New York Times reporter who has been jailed since July 6 for refusing to identify a source, has been released, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported on its Web site tonight, confirmed by The New York Times shortly after 8 p.m.

Miller said in a statement that she expected to appear before the grand jury on Friday.

According to the Times, she and her lawyers reached an agreement with a federal prosecutor to testify before a grand jury investigating the matter.

The Inquirer had reported that an unnamed jail official had revealed that Miller left an Alexandria, Va. jail late this afternoon, at 3:55 pm., adding, "She was released after she had a telephone conversation with the Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis Libby, sources said.
According to the Times, Libby "had made clear that he genuinely wanted her to testify."

But the Times account, published tonight, revealed that Libby and his lawyers asserted that they had given his waiver a year ago--and then again two weeks ago--but Miller did not accept it.

Miller met with Libby on July 8, 2003, and talked with him by telephone later that week, according to the Times. Discussions between government officials and journalists that week have been a central focus of the investigation in the Valerie Plame case.

Something seems strange with this. The day after DeLay is indicted, she agrees to testify? Rove is up to something here, but I can't put my finger on it yet. Judith Miller has already shown that she'll do anything for the Bush administration, so I don't trust her at all.
 
No, but I bet you lie awake worried that the GOP leadership will end up in jail and/or impeachment.

DeLay, Frist, Libby, Rove, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Chimperor: criminal conspiracy, insider trading, CIA leak x 2, war crimes, an waging an illegal war for profiteering x 2. Their days will come.
 
There's still the Bolton connection with Miller. Maybe Libby's taking the fall for Bolton, Cheney, and Dubya.

Nope. Cant's say I lose any sleep over any of those things. Why? DeLay's indictment is political he'll be exonerated. Why? The same thing was tried with Kay Bailey Hutchison three times. When called into court he didn't even present a case let alone take it to a jury trial. The D.A. is a political hack. Frist will be exonerated as well. Last I saw Libby, Rove, Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush weren't being charged with anything.

So when is their day going to come? Certainly not on election day. Your side lost on all the issues you're bringing up!

Ever stop to think Judith Miller was and is the source of that leak? Valerie Plame's identity was a well known inside the beltway fact. Also the law only applies to CIA personnel base overseas which she wasn't when her identity was publicized in MSM publications. It's not a secret if half the people in Washington knew who she was, who she worked for and what she did.

Here's "partisan hack" Ronnie Earle's list of victims:
Former state Rep. Gilbert Serna, D-El Paso. Pleaded guilty to charges of theft by a public servant in 2000.

• Former state Rep. Lane Denton, D-Waco. Found guilty of theft in 1995.

• State Rep. Betty Denton, D-Waco, pleaded guilty in 1995 to perjury charges.

• Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, Republican, indicted on a charge of official misconduct. Earle in 1994 declined to present a case at trial. Hutchison received a directed verdict of acquittal.

• Land Commissioner Garry Mauro, Democrat, investigated in 1992 for political misuse of his agency for Bill Clinton's presidential campaign. Earle found no "conscious pattern of misuse of state property for political or personal purposes."

• Speaker Gib Lewis, D-Fort Worth. Pleaded guilty in 1992 of misdemeanor filing of false financial statements. Lewis in 1983 also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor failure to file a financial statement.

• San Antonio voter registrar Marco Gomez, Democrat, pleaded guilty in 1992 to tampering with a government record.

• State Rep. Charles Staniswallis, R-Amarillo, pleaded guilty to felony theft in 1990.

• Attorney General Jim Mattox, Democrat, found innocent by a jury in 1983 on charges of commercial bribery.

As always, DeLay is just being a whiny bitch blaming all his problems on Democrats. So much for being the party of personal responsibility.

Frist, Libby, and Rove will at least be indicted as well. And I only hope that Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Bush will soon follow. In the New Jersey governor's race, the negative ad campaigns against Republican Doug Forrestor include the quote: George Bush's choice for governor. Priceless! Bush and the repub leadership are becoming a liability, and we'll see it shortly.
 
Valerie Plame's identity was marked "Secret". It doesn't matter if a large group of people knew that she worked for the CIA. Our top leadership leaked her name to retaliate against a whistle-blower. I work with Secret information everyday. If I leaked information like that, I'd already be in jail.

This case sounds like a hoot and a half. I'm glad he's on the R list.
 
I posted this in another thread, but I'm posting it again anyway! The DA actually prosecuted HIMSELF

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/28/AR2005092802422.html

Earle even prosecuted himself in 1983, paying a $212 fine for tardy campaign finance disclosure filings.
