Ofercryinoutloud, What is the deal? doubling down, sending good money chasing after a bad story. This Wayne Madsen -- about whom I know nothing other than what he wrote previously about the purported Gonzales "meeting with the grand jury," based on nothing more than a report that a motorcade went to the federal courthouse in DC -- is, if anything, less credible than Leopold. First, the DC federal courthouse is home to some 16 trial judges (and a handful of magistrates) as well as the US Court of appeals for the DC Circuit. These courts handle the lion's share of the nation's administrative law cases -- i.e., those dealing with the actions of executive agencies -- as well as the general hodgepodge of high-profile cases concerning the politics of the capital in general. There are in short many reasons why someone may arrive in a motorcade at the courthouse (if even that is true) other than the one postulated -- i.e., Abu Gonzales "meeting with the grand jury" and asking questions of it. While we are at it, it is inherently implausible to the point of absurdity that the AG would be given a seak preview of the GJ's work and to interrogate the grand jurors, and completely out of the question for a GJ to "advise" the AG as to what they are probably going to do. This is crazy, kids. Fitz may well be working toward an indictment of Rove (which I think likely), but that's got nothing to do with these nutty stories, and an announceent of an indictment, if it happens and happens soon, is in no way going to confirm these accounts unless there is actual confirmation of them.
