[Quixote1818]

NEW YORK, Oct. 20 (UPI) -- Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald is focusing on whether two White House officials tried to conceal their actions in the leak of a CIA agent's identity.

Fitzgerald is focusing on whether President Bush's top adviser Karl Rove and Vice President Cheney's chief of staff I. Lewis Libby Jr. tried to mislead prosecutors, The New York Times reported.

Citing lawyers involved in the case, the newspaper said Fitzgerald is considering perjury, obstruction of justice and false statement charges -- suggesting he may believe evidence gathered by a federal grand jury shows the two White House aides tried to cover up their actions.

Rove and Libby have been advised they may be in serious legal jeopardy, the lawyers told the newspaper.

11. and now for the moment of truth!

Rove and Libby are standing on the edge of the abyss.

Do they make a deal, pleabargain, get some kind of offer, for turning in the only two people above them?

it's the $64,000 question.

my guess--

Libby narks on his boss and Cheney goes down with the ship.

Rove keeps lying, changing his story, denies any wrongdoing. goes down with the ship but for years continues to deny responsibility and trivialize the whole thing, blames Joe Wilson for messing up the country.
