Did you get the email from truthout about Rove's indictment?
BREAKING | Jason Leopold: Fitzgerald to Seek Indictment of Rove
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/042806Y.shtml
Despite vehement denials by his attorney who said this week that Karl Rove is neither a "target" nor in danger of being indicted in the CIA leak case, the special counsel leading the investigation has already written up charges against Rove, and a grand jury is expected to vote on whether to indict the Deputy White House Chief of Staff sometime next week, sources knowledgeable about the probe said Friday afternoon.

3. I can only HOPE they're right on this one! To me, the timing sounds
reasonable. When everybody was hoping for an indictment today, that didn't make sense. It takes some time to put the finals to a final presentation to the GJ, and they have to vote. Friday does sound like a good possibility!

We'll see.

6. Thanks Hissyspit! I found it already. Good news, and I hope that this
clears Jason Leopold's 'misinformation.' He clearly states in this updated article, that Fitz did send a 'target' letter. We'll see! I hate the wait, but better slow justice than none at all.

BREAKING: Rove’s Legal Troubles More Extensive Than Previously Reported
http://thinkprogress.org/2006/04/28/rove-legal-trouble-more-extensive/

It has been widely reported that Rove’s legal troubles center around his initial failure to tell prosecutors about his conversation with TIME Magazine’s Matt Cooper regarding Joe Wilson’s wife. In a new story, Murray Waas reports that Rove could also be in legal jeopardy based on the substance of what he said about his conversation with Cooper once he acknowledged it occurred. Here’s the critical point:

Rove testified to the grand jury that when he told Cooper that Plame worked at the agency, he was only passing along unverified gossip, according to people familiar with his testimony.

In contrast, Cooper has testified that Rove told him in a phone conversation on July 11, 2003, that Plame worked for the CIA and played a role in having the agency select her husband, former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson, to make a fact-finding trip to Niger in 2002.

Cooper has also testified that Rove, as well as a second source — I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, then-chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney — portrayed the information about Plame as accurate and authoritative.

So there is a big difference between Rove’s version of the story and Cooper’s version of the story. If Fitzgerald establishes that Rove is the one not telling the truth, it could potentially form the basis of perjury or obstruction of justice charges against Rove.

In short: Rove’s in even more trouble than we thought.

8. This is one time where their lies
are music to my ears. No target letter, no charges, no indictment. Is there ANYTHING they don't lie about? How sweet it is!!!
