Fitzgerald Expands Probe

[cynatnite]

snip:
While many people were left confused by news reports that said Rove wouldn't be indicted Friday, the lawyers said that Rove remains under intense scrutiny and added that Fitzgerald is betting on the fact that he can secure an indictment against Rove on charges of perjury, obstruction of justice, the misuse of classified information, and possibly other charges, as early as next week.

“This investigation is not yet over,” one of the lawyers in the case said. “You must keep in mind that people like Mr. Rove are still under investigation. Rather than securing an indictment on perjury charges against Mr. Rove Mr. Fitzgerald strongly believes he can convince the grand jury that he broke other laws.”

The lawyers said that in the past month Fitzgerald has obtained explosive information in the case that has enabled him to pursue broader charges such as conspiracy, and civil rights violations against targets like Rove. Specifically, the lawyers said Fitzgerald is focusing on phony intelligence documents that led to the outing of Valerie Plame Wilson’s identity: the documents that claimed Iraq was attempting to purchase yellow-cake uranium from Niger.

1. Let's hope that he keeps going 'till he gets all the bad people

One can only hope...

2. Oh Jeebus, forget Raw Story.

They got nothing right. Nothing.

[kid a]

4. Oh really . . what did they get wrong?

[truebrit71]

6. Let's see. They got the number of indictments wrong.

They got who was getting indicted wrong....you know, little stuff like that...

[cynatnite]

12. Everyone got the number wrong...

On TV and in print I saw numbers ranging from 1-24 indictments. That mostly went to speculation on all sides. It seems like everyone got everything wrong.

Goes to show how leak-proof Fitz and his team are.

13. Rumors have been flying like confetti. Who got it right?!

Anybody get it right?

7. "22 Indictments" ring a bell?

They were referring to THIS grand jury, and we got all of ONE. That's fine, but they aren't exactly being proven right.

11. That Fitz had rented some office space, for one. But nobody's perfect

And it hasn't just been Raw Story. Everyone's been trying to guess what's going on, with varying success. As someone said yesterday, nobody knew anything. Most were speculating.

[cynatnite]

15. That story came from Washington Note and was retracted...

No one got anything right on this.

[cynatnite]

5. What have they been wrong on?

I have yet to hear anyone name a story they've gotten wrong.

[truebrit71]

8. How many indictments did they say were coming down?

How many people were going to be indicted?

Those little nuggets they got wrong...

9. "22 Indictments"

[GDoyle]

14. Huh?

There are 5 indictments for different charges, even though its contained in one document (which happens to be 22 pages long).

In any event, a lot of these stories Raw Story simply links to other stories...The NY Daily News, NY Times, Washington Post, whatever.

I think on the whole Raw Story has been pretty good.

3. That's rawstory info, but it's true this isn't over yet. - n/t
