Stephen Hadley Told Rove About Plame
TalkLeft conveys from Firedoglake that Washington Post reporter Jim Vandehei let the cat out of the bag on Hardball tonight. Deputy National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley told Karl Rove about Valerie Plame Wilson.
Hardball does not release a transcript until the day after the show runs, therefore it is not available as of this post. The following is copied from Jeralyn’s post (ed. note: reference via Lexis.com). Quoting Vandehei:
We still don`t know exactly where Karl Rove originally learned about Valerie Plame. That`s still one of the mysteries. We know one of them he had heard it from Hadley as just sort of chatter inside the office, but he had learned it earlier from some other place. And we still don`t know where that is.
I watched Hardball tonight, but obviously Vandehei rolled that out during that brief period of time I was comfortably “watching” with my eyelids closed. Jeralyn puts her spin on the logic behind Vandehei’s statement. Check it out while waiting on MSNBC to publish the transcript.

More to follow after reading the transcript or other developments — whichever comes first. If you have any tips, please let us know.
This should raise the buzz index considerably tomorrow. Film at 11:00.
Update: Handehei made a mistake last night. See this post for correction.
