From the CBS Evening News, to air at 6:30PM:Fitzgerald
Edited on Tue Oct-25-05 05:35 PM by cal04
CBS’ JOHN ROBERTS: Lawyers familiar with the case think Wednesday is when special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald will make known his decision, and that there will be indictments. Supporters say Rove and the vice president’s chief of staff, Scooter Libby, are in legal jeopardy. But they insisted today the two are secondary players, that it was an unidentified Mr. X who actually gave the name of CIA agent V alerie Plame to reporters. Fitzgerald knows who Mr. X is, they say, and if he isn’t indicted, there’s no way Rove or Libby should be. But charges may not focus on the leak at all. Obstruction of justice or perjury are real possibilities. Did Rove or Libby change statements made under oath? Did they deliberately leave critical facts out of their testimony or did they honestly forget? Some Republicans urged Rove to step down if indicted. Not a happy prospect for president Bush.

9. On DU? Yes. From the Mainstream Media? No.
This is the first "tomorrow" reference from the MSM. Everybody else was saying "this week" or "sometime soon". DU was taking hints and praying for tomorrow to be Fitzmas, but I can trust MSM on this one.

6. Mr. X
Mr. X is the teeny little bit of uncertainty they hope to inject into the investigation. Like the Swift Boat Liars, they don't have to refute the truth to hold onto their kool aid drinkers. They just have to create the slightest confusion to keep those people on a string.

No matter what happens now, the freeptards will blame Mr. X for everything. At least, it appears that this strategy isn't working for many people anymore.

7. Didn't this Mr. X statement come out days ago?
Does anybody know the original source? Because I think it's an RW talking point.

11. "Name" vs. "identity"
Rove and Libby may not have given her name to reporters, but (by all accounts) they did leak her identity.

13. Fits has been the most locked and sealed investigator ever known.
He makes me wonder and fret over the possible outcome.

I hope we won't be disappointed.
