Prosecutor in leak case seeks indictments against Rove, Libby, lawyers close to case say

Special Prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald has asked the grand jury investigating the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson to indict Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby and Bush’s Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice, lawyers close to the investigation tell RAW STORY.

Fitzgerald has also asked the jury to indict Libby on a second charge: knowingly outing a covert operative, the lawyers said. They said the prosecutor believes that Libby violated a 1982 law that made it illegal to unmask an undercover CIA agent.

Libby’s attorney, Joseph A. Tate, did not return a call seeking comment.

Two other officials, who are not employees in the White House, are also expected to face indictments, the lawyers said.

2. Old

I think Raw Story needs to add times they release their stories. This one was out this morning and has been discussed ad nauseum. Old information.

3. Remind me again: Act of Treason?

Clearly we know that it carries a sentance of death on the high end, but what's the low end if found guilty? I'm not a real fan of the death penalty - but call me evil when I also don't want some future NeoCon president pardoning him (can that even be done with treason?).

I only hope the democrats in congress grow some testicular fortitude

Remember how everyday the repukes attacked Clinton, I want NOTHING LESS FROM THE DEMOCRATS AGAINST *!!!

I've heard all week: "testicular fortitude." BWAHAHAHA!

The other good one: "Throaty McHuskyton," which is Colbert's name for Rita Cosby.
