Indictments Coming Tomorrow; Targets Received Letters Today
An uber-insider source has just reported the following to TWN:
1. 1-5 indictments are being issued. The source feels that it will be towards the higher end.
2. The targets of indictment have already received their letters.
3. The indictments will be sealed indictments and "filed" tomorrow.
4. A press conference is being scheduled for Thursday.
The shoe is dropping.
More soon.

One to five sealed indictments issued, the targets have received their letters, and they'll be a press conference regarding these indictments on Thursday. If Clemons' source is valid, this is big news. The blogosphere has been constantly speculating about who the targets are going to be for these indictments--Rove, Cheney, Libby, UN Ambassador John Bolton, Condi Rice, just about anyone who works in the Bush White House could be considered.
My question is how far up does this go? If Vice President Dick Cheney ends up getting indicted, then the next big question is what did the president know about the Plame affair and when did he know it? Is the president involved in the cover-up? Even more interesting is the possibility that if Cheney was involved in this leak, will Fitzgerald extend his investigation--perhaps even bring in a new grand jury to investigate the vice president or president himself?
There is so much speculation, rumors, leaks, innuendo flying about regarding this Valerie Plame affair, that it is almost impossible to try to make sense of it. And yet, there is so much out there that we don't know yet.
Stay tuned....More to come.
