On Cheney's Role in Leaks Probe
Yes, Bloomberg News reported last night that Cheney was a focus of Fitzgerald's probe. I did not see any new information there that Raw Story or I hadn't reported on before, so I wrote about a different section of the article which mentioned that Joseph Wilson is considering suing Bush, Cheney, et. al.
Bloomberg doesn't say Fitzgerald has uncovered evidence of Cheney wrong-doing, only that he is looking at it. Bloomberg also acknowledges there have been no leaks from Fitzgerald's team, so the information has to be coming from lawyers for other subjects of the investigation, some of whom, it appears, are in legal jeopardy. It may just be spin and an attempt to deflect attention from their clients. For example, Miller says she exonerated Cheney in her appearance before the grand jury.
But, there's plenty of information out there, for those willing to connect the dots. Whether it's enough to get Cheney is open to interpretation. You can find most of the details in these two posts.
