Miller to testify on Friday!
Miller Agrees to Testify in CIA Leak Probe

By JOHN SOLOMON, Associated Press Writer 4 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - After nearly three months behind bars, New York Times reporter Judith Miller was released from a federal prison Thursday after agreeing to testify in the investigation into the disclosure of the identity of a covert CIA officer, two people familiar with the case said.

Miller left the federal detention center in Alexandria, Va., after reaching an agreement with Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald. Legal sources said she would appear before a grand jury investigating the case Friday morning. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because of the secrecy of the grand jury proceedings.

The sources said Miller agreed to testify after securing an unconditional release from Vice President
Dick Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, to testify about any discussions they had involving CIA officer Valerie Plame.

1. Now the next question.
Truth or Perjury?

7. it wouldn't be a good idea to lie to Fitz
but she loves these guys so much, she just might. if she does, I guess she will be spending a heck of a lot more than 4 months watching BET.

3. This is big
If she squeals, this could tie the whole thing together. I can't believe Libby would give his release. Maybe they've got it sewn up and are confident.

9. My guess
hmmmm. isn't * selecting a supreme court justice tomorrow. I suspect that it will be a doozy and the Judith Miller news will disappear down the rabbit hole.

8. I think that old Judy will probably be less than honest. I'd be asking the
judge if I could treat her as a hostile witness.

11. It's before the grand jury.
Fitzgerald can treat her anyway he wants, really.

10. I believe the deal was made on the phone. Yes, she testifies, Libby
and Rove had nothing to do with it. They have it wrapped and its over. It will come as "Nobody did anything" What a goddam joke. These creeps are rotten and it has been going on for too long.

12. I'm not feeling real good about this.
Besides, why release her the night *BEFORE* she testifies. Why couldn't they take her right from jail for that THEN release her. If she doesn't get suicided tonight, you know they have something of a deal set up.

14. Ahh, Bobo Bolton already visited Miller in jail last week, so that
she and BushCo could get their "story" coordinated. so I reckon that's about all she will spew to the Grand Jury...

15. the 87 day wait by Scooter may mean he, too, HAD TO GIVE all the
Edited on Thu Sep-29-05 09:56 PM by sundancekid
rest of the information ... if Scooter had given her and others a blanket release as he had, why else in the world would it take a total of 87 fukking days for Scooter to pick up that phone and cut Miller loose??? after all, even Rove had cut Cooper loose quite quickly.

I say it's about Scooter making the last immunity deal for himself by coughing up Cheney, Rove and Condiment Lice since Judy knows all that already from Bolton, and Fitz needed her to confirm who Scooter could fatally finger ... ok, now let's hope I'm not caught up in a LeCarre dream novel
