Indictment Watch
Nothing yet, but the Washington Post reports that White House aides are bracing themselves.
Also, not to rain on anyone’s parade, but TalkLeft has posted an interesting scenario in which Rove could slip the noose.
I’m beginning to think it possible that Karl Rove either is not going to be charged in the Valerie Plame Leak investigation, or if he is charged, it will be with a false statement rather than perjury offense. If it’s the second scenario, Rove could make a plea deal with Fitzgerald under which he agrees to plead guilty if Fitzgerald agrees to request a sentencing reduction to probation, because of his cooperation against others.
I don’t doubt for a minute that if Rove sees an opportunity to save himself by throwing others under the bus, under the bus they’ll go.
Like the song says, the waiting is the hardest part.
