Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Attorney General Alberto >Gonzalez, former Attorney General John Ashcroft, imprisoned New York Times >reporter Judith Miller and former Senior Cheney advisor Mary Matalin. >Heneghen, unavailable for comment and first reported by internet reporter >Tom Flocco, allegedly also told sources White House Advisor Karl Rove was >indicted for perjury in a major document shredding operation cover-up and >that Prime Minister Tony Blair was also indicted for obstruction of >justice charges. >Heneghen also claimed that Blair failed to honor a subpoena issued by >Fitzpatrick and is now consulting with British legal counsel on how to >avoid appearing in Chicago. >In recent weeks, there has been much controversy over Fitzgerald's wide >reaching probe which is extending far beyond the Bush administration to >include what some have called "a wholesale cleansing" of a crime-laden >White House and Congress. > >Fitzgerald's investigation is said to be also centered on members of the >9/11 Commission, members on both sides of the isle in the House and Senate >and also select high-powered members of the media. >Needless to say, members close to the administration are 'fighting mad" >with Fitzgerald and reports on Capital Hill are that Senate Intelligence >Committee Chairman Pat Roberts is trying to derail Fitzgerald's probe by >calling him to testify before the Senate regarding his true motives behind >the investigation. >Political observers are now wondering whether administration-friendly >Republican legislators, some under investigation themselves, are >conspiring like President Nixon did in Watergate with Special Prosecutor >Archibald Cox, attempting to fire Fitzgerald in the same manner in order >to cool the heat on further investigations into Bush administration crimes. >Last week, other sources close to the investigation said the recent bomb >scare in the subway under the Dirksen Federal Building, coincidently near >where Fitzgerald was holding his grand jury hearings, raised serious >questions as to whether government operatives loyal to Bush were sending >the zealous prosecutor a "warning message" that he was entering murky >waters with the extent of his investigation. >The bomb scare was reported to local police late Monday afternoon, July >18, causing the subway to be evacuated for approximately 45 minutes while >bomb sniffing dogs and swat team members searched for what was reported to >be "a suspicious package" left on one of the subway cars. >Besides Fitzgerald's probe into Bush administration lies relating to 9/11, >the war in Iraq and the CIA-Valerie Plame leaks, he is also looking into a >huge drug money laundering operation involving both the Clinton and Bush >administrations with ties reaching all the way to Arkansas. >Fitzgerald began serving as the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of >Illinois in September, 2001. He was initially appointed on an interim >basis by former Attorney General John Ashcroft before being nominated by >President Bush. >The U.S. Senate confirmed his nomination by unanimous consent in October >2001.
