CounterPunch: Did Karl Rove Hide or Destroy Evidence in Plame Case?

Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald met with the grand jury investigating the leak of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson for several hours Friday. Short of a last minute intervention by Rove's attorney, Fitzgerald is expected to ask a grand jury-possibly as soon as next week--the to indict Rove for making false statements to the FBI and Justice Department investigators in October 2003, lawyers close to the case say.

Moreover, Fitzgerald is said to believe that there is a possibility Rove either hid or destroyed evidence related to his role in the leak, lawyers close to the case said.

2. That would be shocking, shocking I tell you

With the President's strong moral compass, there is no way this administration could have departed from the straight and narrow path.

3. Fitzgerald cannot be in such a bubble that word of "Fitzmas"

hasn't somehow reached him. Wonder if he has a sense of humor or took poetic justice in law school?
