Leaks Probe Is Gathering Momentum
Quote:Still, the White House is eager for the findings to emerge soon, or wait until after the November election. "The only fear I've heard expressed is that the investigation will be too slow or too fast and will kick into a visible mode in a way that is poorly timed for the election," the Republican said. "If they prosecuted someone tomorrow, I don't think the White House would care. And they can do it in December 2004. They just don't want it to become an issue in the election."

pistoff, I'm afraid the "leak story" is a dead issue where it concerns the next election. Voters memories aren't all that good or reliable.
Your quote also suggests that where ever the leak occurred it was not in the White House and they are relatively unconcerned with the results of the investigation, only the timing.
?
We shall see. I agree that it is no longer a front burner issue. But issues do at times have a way of poppin' back up.
Doesn't it make you wonder, tho, that the democratic candidates aren't saying anything more about it?
