Bush Interviewed About CIA Leak
President Not Under Oath in Discussing Release of Covert Officer's Name

President Bush was interviewed for more than an hour yesterday by a special prosecutor investigating whether administration officials illegally disclosed the name of a covert CIA officer last summer.

Some lawyers representing witnesses in the case have speculated that the recent activity, including the interviews of the president and vice president, may signal that the investigation is close to completion. But others said they are less certain that the interview with senior White House officials represents a tying up of loose ends.

"It's hard to believe the special prosecutor would be burdening the president with an interview unless they had testimony to the effect that the president had information," said Floyd Abrams, a First Amendment lawyer representing Time magazine in the probe.

1. If the @#$%ing President knows something, then why ...

.. hasn't he acted?

[roper]

2. That is nice to read of...

"President not under oath"... naturally not. The issue here is just a federal crime, not an important thing like a blowjob.

This point was made here on DU many times, I believe, but does the press notice this incongruence?

3. If story was S Schmidt story about Clinton and a prosecutor...

it would have been on WaPo, page one, not two.
