4. Check out the whole article - there's more

Karl Rove, President Bush's senior adviser and deputy chief of staff, will not be charged on Friday, but will remain under investigation, people briefed officially about the case said. As a result, they said, the special counsel in the case, Patrick J. Fitzgerald, was likely to extend the term of the federal grand jury beyond its scheduled expiration on Friday.

As rumors coursed through the capital, Mr. Fitzgerald gave no public signal of how he intends to proceed, further intensifying the anxiety that has gripped the White House and left partisans on both sides of the political aisle holding their breath.

10. Don't worry. If Fitz is on to something, he'll keep digging.

He may have tried to flip Karl, as has been suggested. And if that's true and Karl refused the deal, it will not go well for him, if Fitz can make the case without Karl's cooperation.

6. I guess the NYT has to publish something, but I doubt they know

any more than the rest of us.

IF, and that's a BIG IF, their note about Scooter being charged but the GJ to be extended and the investigation of Rove will continue is correct, I think that's the best of both worlds!

One indictment is issued, which tosses us a bone, but the Rove investigation continues, which keeps the WH in turmoil!

8. If the GJ is exended and Rove remains under investigation

wouldn't that seem to indicate that Fitzgerald is going after bigger fish than Rove? And that Rove will likely be called to testify? :shrug:

9. maybe this is why Rove looked so snarky-smiley today nt

11. I Call BULLSHIT on Rove Until I Hear From Fitz

"Karl Rove, President Bush's senior adviser and deputy chief of staff, will not be charged on Friday, but will remain under investigation, people briefed officially about the case said."

I call bullshit until I hear from Fitz or I know these "people briefed officially about the case". The NYT can not be trusted about this. It may be true, but I won't take their word for it.

12. KKKarl may have flipped on W

Who knows? Let Fitz work this out. He seems to know what he's doing.

13. I want Rove to go down, but if not now

let him and the administration sweat it out while the investigation
goes on. He will eventually get his due.
