Statement from Fitzgerald?

I find it weird that it has been 24 hours and we still haven't heard any offficial statement from Fitzgerald or he hasn't held a press conference.

I believe that weasel Rove has escaped indicment but I would like to hear another source other than his lawyer.

has stated that he would be as open as possible about the proceedings and he has been. No, he is not required to do anything, but he is aware of the major public interest in this case and how his words and actions directly impact the WH.

Rove has been under the cloud of suspicion for months. If Rove has been 'cleared' I would assume Fitzgerald would make a public statement regarding his change of status and that it would be the appropriate thing to do, since Rove is a WH Official who's reputation has already been tarnished by being the subject of so much speculation.

Fitz said in his October press conference. They (and Fitz) don't say why they don't indict.

Not being charged is not the same as being "cleared" or declared innocent of any wrongdoing, no matter how much the Rovites spin it. Clearly Rove indeed was a source for Time's Cooper, something Rove neglected to tell the Feds and which in fact he later denied until it was clear the info was coming out.

Rove hasn't been "cleared" and one shouldn't expect that Fitzgerald would make a statement to that effect. The most Rove got is that Fitz "doesn't anticipate" seeking charges and as is usual procedure, the defense attorney was advised of that and in this instance was allowed to make that public due to the publicity his client has received.

That Rove hasn't been cleared of anything, even though the Rove's lawyer and the M$M are doing everything they can to make it appear that he has been 'cleared'. Maybe he should take up Scientology, so he can say he's 'gone clear' and not have to lie?

As a special prosecutor, he has no obligation to make a statement.
If he were an independent prosecutor, he would be obliged to
make a statement.

I'd just like Luskin to provide unredacted copies of the letter, if there was one.

version just so we can get some kind of veracity to this

From his press conference when Libby was indicted:



Apparently it's his practice to simply refrain from comment about anyone he hasn't already indicted.

According to this article:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/06/13/politics/main1710015.shtml

Several former prosecutors, as well as two current Justice Department officials, told me that in cases that have received so much media attention, it is in fact "in the public interest" for a brief official statement to be released noting that a target will not be charged.

This official declared it is "fundamentally unfair" for there not to be an official clearance issued by Fitzgerald or his spokesman. He pointed out that the usual reasons given for secrecy in the grand jury process are to avoid: the perception of unfairness to a target, the possibility of witness intimidation, or interference with the ongoing investigation. In the case of Rove, he maintained, all three points argue for a public clearance.

When Libby was indicted he said something along the lines that he wouldn't have comments on people that hadn't been indicted. Unlike many politicians he seems to be keeping his word.

Snowjob will either have to say "no comment on continuing investigation" or "the matter is over, no other discussion is necessary".

He caved to pressure from the right.

I always knew he would. The evidence is there, he allowed rove to explain it away and change lies he made in previous sessions.

I dont know why so many people actually believe in fitz. Whats he done besides a perjury charge against Libby? Thats as far as itll go. He was bought and sold .
