The Judy File: Miller’s UN-likely Visitor

Ever since President Bush slipped him through the UN's backdoor via a recess appointment, John Bolton has been giving reporters the cold shoulder. He strode past them when he showed up at the UN on August 2nd to present his letter of appointment, and WaPo columnist Al Kamen shows that he hasn’t opened up much since (via TWN).

But Bolton apparently has a warm spot in his heart for at least one journalist: none other than Judy Miller.

According to a trusted Judy File source, Bolton recently took time out of his busy schedule to pay a jailhouse visit to Judy.

No word on what they talked about.

Maybe they swapped notes on Pat Fitzgerald (Judy: “He really got mad when I wouldn’t tell him what he wanted...” Bolton: “...and they say I’ve got a temper!”(laughter all around))

Or maybe they just talked about old times, when Bolton was reportedly a regular source for Miller’s WMD and national security reports.

Just two potential Plamegate sources shooting the breeze.

For anyone who doesn’t find this jailhouse get-together highly UN-usual, please give me the name of the journalist who, in or out of jail, would get a visit from John Bolton. Other than Bob Novak.

And for any employees of the Alexandria Detention Center who may have been monitoring the Bolton-Miller visit: feel free to give us a call or drop us an e-mail. The Judy File promises to protect your identity... even if it means taking the cell next to Judy’s.

2. Ive been saying for awhile now...

that the Bolton nomination is intimately tied to the Plame exposure. Remember how it was said that Bolton had illegally used information gathered from wire taps?

What if, just suppose, one of those wire taps targetted Wilson? What if, just suppose, Bolton happened to see a transcript from said wiretap that let him know that Plame was a CIA agent involved in her husband's mission?

What if Bolton illegally used THAT information as well?

Could THAT be what the Bush cabal was trying to prevent congress from seeing during the Bolton hearings? Could that be why Bolton is now visiting Miller in prison? To assure her that if she stands strong she will be rewarded.

Remember the person who broke the law, is the person who got the information from legitimate access to classified information then exposed it to people WITHOUT that access. Rove could be argued to not have had legitimate access to the information, and thus not be legally accountable for the original leak, even though he helped spread it.

It is ROVE'S source who is in real trouble - and that source might be Bolton.
