"They have got a senior cooperating witness"

Hat tip to Raw Story who got the jump on this last night. The NY Daily News reports that Fitzgerald has "a senior cooperating witness" and Cheney is getting a very hard look:

A special prosecutor's intensifying focus into who outed a CIA spy has raised questions whether Vice President Cheney himself is involved, knowledgeable sources confirmed yesterday.

At least one source and one reporter who have testified in the probe said U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald is pursuing Cheney's role in the Valerie Plame affair.

In addition, at least six current and former Cheney staffers - most members of the White House Iraq Group - have testified before the grand jury, including the vice president's top honcho, Lewis (Scooter) Libby, and two top Cheney national security lieutenants.

Cheney's name has come up amid indications Fitzgerald may be edging closer to a blockbuster conspiracy charge - with help from a secret snitch.

"They have got a senior cooperating witness - someone who is giving them all of that," a source who has been questioned in the leak probe told the Daily News yesterday.

Who flipped? Love it when they turn on each other.

Man, the suspense is killing me! When are the indictments gonna come down?! I'm trying real hard not to get my hopes up because these people are master weasels, but I have to keep believing that there is a possibility of getting America back on the right track.
