The T word

Q Yes, thank you. There has been a lot of speculation concerning the meaning of the underlying statute and the grand jury investigation concerning Mr. Rove. The question is, have the legal counsel to the White House or White House staff reviewed the statute in sufficient specificity to determine whether a violation of that statute would, in effect, constitute treason?

MR. McCLELLAN: I think that in terms of decisions regarding the investigation, those are matters for those overseeing the investigation to decide.

From the White House press gaggle today.

What is amusing is that the press keeps asking questions, and McClellan keeps refusing to answer any of them. It's the "administration policy".

But, as one reporter pointed out, Alberto Gonzales (Attorney General) was on TV yesterday talking about - the leak investigation. How amusing.

Remember the 18 minute gap in the Nixon tapes? Now we have a 12 hour "gap". Gonzales told Andrew Card that the Justice Department was investigating, but waited 12 hours to tell the administration not to destroy any evidence.
