WP: Leak Probe Appears to Be in Active Phase

[kskiska]

(snip)

Lawyers representing witnesses in the case said the latest flurry of witness interview requests could signal that prosecutors are about to bring the investigation to a close, though that is far from a certainty. Several lawyers said they expected Fitzgerald would want to talk to Bush and Cheney no matter how his investigation comes out in the end.

"It was inevitable he would talk to both of them," one lawyer said. He, like other lawyers in the case, asked not to be quoted by name.

The White House declined to comment on Cheney's interview with prosecutors or to say when it occurred. Cheney's office referred inquiries to Fitzgerald's office, which has declined to comment on any aspect of the investigation.

Cheney's lawyer, Terrence O'Donnell, did not return phone calls for comment.

1. I Would Imagine

That every one of them is "lawyered up" by now to take advantage of the client-attorney privilege. I believe a government attorney would have to report any questionable actions in a discussion.

2. Hope they interview the WH counsel, Gonzales.

I can think of LOTS of questions for him.
