To summarise this CNN article in a highly suggestive way:

"...there was a concerted administration effort to illegally divulge Valerie Plame's CIA identity because her husband publicly questioned Bush on the Iraq war. The central figures in the investigation are White House deputy chief of staff Karl Rove and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney. Both Rove and Libby talked to reporters before Plame was unmasked...Further complicating Bush's plans are investigations of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, on conspiracy and money-laundering charges in Texas, and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist for stock transactions...Veteran Republican strategist Charles Black said 'I haven't noticed, for the most part, anything unusual going on,'"

Oh cite a blog for evidence, that's strong. I didn't read it though, because I don't really care either way. I don't know much about the current case either, I only check US news sites about once a month so I don't know what's happening, I just thought the word choice in that CNN article could be arranged in a funny way. From the bit I've seen I think the news is mostly bad for Republicans and the public is leaning away from the party some. This is good news for everyone really. All branches of government on the same side, either way, is dangerous. So hopefully the current trend will lead to a reduced majority, or even loss of Republican majority in Congress at the midterm.
