Will Karl Rove be indicted?

Fitzgerald still looking to indict Rove

Short of a last minute intervention by Rove’s attorney, Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald is expected to ask a grand jury investigating the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson to indict Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove for making false statements to the FBI and Justice Department investigators in October 2003, lawyers close to the case say.

Rove failed to tell investigators at the time that he had spoken about Plame to Time Magazine reporter Matthew Cooper and conservative columnist Robert Novak, both of whom later cooperated in the case. Novak outed Plame in a July 14, 2003 column.

The Chicago prosecutor briefed the second grand jury investigating the outing last week for more than three hours. During that time, he brought them up to speed on the latest developments involving Rove and at least one other White House official, the sources said. The attorneys refused to identify the second person.

As of Monday, neither Rove nor his attorney Robert Luskin has explained Rove’s misstatements to Fitzgerald’s satisfaction, those familiar with the case said. Eleventh-hour testimony from Time Magazine reporter Viveca Novak—who Rove’s attorney Robert Luskin fingered as a crucial witness in keeping his client out of court—does not appear to have been helpful in dodging an indictment, they added.

showed him walking with Chimpy. Everyone was laughing because he was kind of bent forward. Well, it looked a lot like he was having back problems. We all know what back problems are a frequent "go-with." Yup. Stress. Maybe the old puff adder is a lot more uptight about his situation than BushCo would like to admit. Heh! Heh!

I'd be delighted if he was indicted, but...

There's too much BS, unreliable characters and lack of interest in the media. And the media is the story here.

:banghead:

At least for a day or two. :eyes:

big ol' pause until the trial got underway. Then it REALLY got good!

Bush will never, ever let harm come to his co-conspirator and keeper of his secrets.

by fancy, last-minute lawyering.

Now, I hope he's been practicing not to drop the soap cuz he's going go be squealing like a pig.

Fitzgerald is a straight shooter and felt he had to give them a chance to show their hand. If he didn't then they would scream that he was not fair. This way Fitz can say he looked at everything.

Winner to be announced on DU.

I will probably have two winners: One being the person who guesses among all entrants, the second who came closest to guessing the correct date, and was submitted before October 1.

Fitzgerald to brief grand jury Wednesday

Jason Leopold



Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald will present additional evidence to a grand jury Wednesday morning in the CIA leak case that could result in an indictment being handed up against White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove, sources close to the investigation told RAW STORY.

Although the grand jury’s term expires in 18 months, Fitzgerald is expected to wrap up the case as it relates to Rove before the end of the year, the sources said.

Fitzgerald intends to present the grand jury with the sworn testimony from Rove’s attorney Robert Luskin, and Time magazine reporter Viveca Novak. The sources close to the case said Fitzgerald is still intent on seeking an indictment against Rove on at least one count of making false statements to FBI and Justice Department investigators when he was first interviewed in early October 2003 about his role in the leak.
