President Bush has consulted an outside lawyer about possibly representing him in the grand jury investigation of who leaked the name of a covert CIA operative last year, White House officials said Wednesday night.
There was no indication that Bush was a target of the leak investigation, but the president's move suggested he anticipates being questioned about what he knows.
...."The president has made it very clear he wants everyone to cooperate fully with the investigation and that would include himself," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said.
He confirmed that Bush had contacted Washington attorney Jim Sharp. "In the event the president needs his advice, I expect he probably would retain him," McClellan said.

He's going to cooperate fully, but he needs a lawyer's advice? What's wrong with the truth?
Oh.
....hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
