This week is the week.

One thing that all MSM sources agreed upon shortly after Rove's last GJ testimony was that Fitz would act (indict or not) by the end of May. Well, that's this coming week, as I doubt he would act over Memorial Day.

So keep a heads up. Stay away from the usual nonsense "sources" and wait for the news from the MSM. Because that is most likely where the news will first come from.

1. Speaking of usual sources --->>>

"TruthOut will post a far more comprehensive update on the Rove indictment tomorrow, Sunday, at noon pacific standard time."

This is from a TO email yesterday.

2. Thanks for the heads-up, jmauller.

Though I'm not sure I want to read it.

[havocmom]

3. Sorta sounds like they were giving someone a deadline

Ya think they will out the sources?

[WiseButAngrySara]

7. I'm on their mailing list, and didn't get this. Is that the complete

message? Thanks so much for posting. Maybe sources will be outed, or theTruth will be Outed??????

:rofl: & :sarcasm:

[GrantDem]

16. No >

It was a small "snip" in the middle of the email. It was sent yesterday around 2:30. The subject line of the email read:

"FOCUS: Marjorie Cohn | UN to US: Close Guantanamo"

5. did Lucy pull the football away again, Charlie Brown? n/t

12. Metaphorically speaking, yes.

6. Well, I'd say he will or he won't. And I know that I AM RIGHT.

But does anyone happen to know when this GJ term ends?

[kstewart33]

8. Hard to say.

This GJ is not exclusively for Fitz's cases. It meets irregularly to hear whatever cases that are assigned to it. I had thought that the GJ typically has a one-year term. But not sure.

[Garbo 2004]

14. IIRC regular Fed grand juries have an 18 month term and can be extended

beyond that for another 6 months. So the max possible term for a regular fed grand jury is 24 months.

[DoYouEverWonder]

9. Is it true that the current Grand Jury's term

is set to expire at the end of the week?

I read that somewhere but I don't know if it was true or not?

If it is true, then Fitzgerald will wrap things up with them this week. That is what he did with the Libby indictment. From what I remember, the GJ handed down his indictment the day or day before the end of their term.

[HereSince1628]

I thought I had heard something about that, too.

10. Fitz Never Promised A Time Table

I sure didn't get that memo from whatever the "MSM" is...all I get on my television is corporate media and even there I didn't hear anything about a timetable on a determination of Rove's fate. All I've heard/seen is speculation and astroturfing from Rove's lawyer Luskin.

When Fitzgerald is ready and if he was a solid case, then we will see and hear all...not before and anyone who jumps the gun or attempts to play Fitz deserves to get burned.

[kstewart33]

11. No, this came from multiple sources....ah, geez

I hate to use that term "multiple sources" as it's been so misused around here lately. But one of those sources was David Schuster of Hardball, and he's solid, at least IMHO.

[KharmaTrain]

13. Only Once Source Matters...Patrick Fitzgerald

I could find "multiple sources" when it comes to speculation...and that's all this is. Fitzgerald, unlike Starr, is doing what a prosecutor must do...keep a tight lid on a case until its determined if charges are to be brought or not. Just look back at how wildly wrong speculation was here in the run-up to the Libby indictment...and how it turned this place into a morgue.

Schuster has done some of the best reporting on this case, but he's taking stabs at what's going on just like the rest of us...and he'll admit that. All indications are that Fitzgerald will indict Rove, but since none of us sit in that Grand Jury courtroom, we have no idea of where Fitzgerald is investigating and if the jury concurs that this rises to the level of a crime.

When I was a kid, I'd constantly hear History teachers complain how it was a shame "kids aren't forced to take civics classes anymore". Now I understand what they mean.

[NightOwwl]

15. Reading tea leaves....

is not the most reliable way to conclude there will be a definite Rove indictment.

Schuster is speculating, which should give you an idea of the validity of Leopold's column.

[yodermon]

17. .. and the following week

they will deflect by attacking Iran. (Remember the June 7 date that was floating around here earlier?)
Lovely how these things work out.

18. A Rove Indictment...

for perjury means little. A perjury indictment will not spell the end of the Bush Administration, it will just provide them with more laughs. Unless someone is indicted for outting Valeie Plame, the perjury indictments will not scare anyone into rolling over on Bush and Cheney for anything.

The Republicans are already showing their hand on how they will play this one and to tell the truth, it looks troublesome with no indictment for the actual outting of Valerie Plame.
