There's more to this than we'll probably ever know. Thom Hartman announced on his show today (12/12/06) that a retainer had been taken out on Criminal attorneys for himself and Cheney, I'm not a subscriber to the show so I don't have a working link to direct you to, but if it come's from Thom I'm sure it's good info. The article below addresses the issues as they apply to Fitzgeralds investigation, But personally, I think there's a whole lot more to this than is being disclosed to the public.
Mr. Bush has acknowledged that he had met with a Washington criminal lawyer, Jim Sharp, about the possibility that prosecutors might want to interview him about the case. So far, the White House has made no mention of Cheney's interview or whether it influenced the president's decision to meet with Sharp, the Times notes.
Mr. Bush is not thought to be a focus of the grand jury inquiry, the Times says. On Thursday, Mr. Bush said he did not object to the prosecutors' inquiry.
The decision by Mr. Bush and Cheney to seek private legal counsel is routine for high-level officials when they become involved, even tangentially, in legal issues unrelated to their official duties, the Times observed.
