Rawstory Names Second White House Official Cooperating with Special

Prosecutor Fitzgerald

For the second time in as many days and the third time in a week,

VelvetRevolution.us affiliate RawStory.com has scooped the mainstream media

in the Valerie Plame affair and publicly named a second witness who is

cooperating with Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald.

" Now, those close to the investigation say that a second Cheney aide, David

Wurmser, has agreed to provide the prosecution with evidence that the leak

was a coordinated effort by Cheney's office to discredit the agent's

husband. . Wurmser, Cheney's Middle East advisor and an assistant to

then-Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security

Affairs John Bolton, likely cooperated because he faced criminal charges for

his role in leaking Wilson's name on the orders of higher-ups, the sources

said. "

Last week, RawStory was the first to report that Fitzgerald was actively

investigating Vice President Cheney and the White House Iraq Group.

Yesterday, RawStory was the first to report that VP aide John Hannah had

made a deal to cooperate.

VelvetRevolution.us analyzed the United States Sentencing Guidelines on

October 7th and concluded that those involved in the Plame outing could face

life in prison unless they cooperated with Fitzgerald.

It appears that some of those involved and their attorneys took that

analysis seriously.

VelvetRevolution.us is a coalition of more than 120 organization and

thousands of citizens dedicated to honest government.
