CIA leak prosecutor again goes before grand jury
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Six weeks after White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was indicted in the CIA leak case, special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald was back at work Wednesday before another grand jury in the drawn-out federal probe.

Fitzgerald, accompanied by several deputies seen carrying files as they walked into the grand jury area of the courthouse, made no comment to reporters about the nature of his visit.

12. Not yet
But a quick trip across the street can rectify that situation.

Here's the original reason for the above posted beerage.

9. Do the Rovian Perp Walk
Put your hands behind your back
Stumble a few steps
Blink your eyes against the media glare
Spin around looking for friends who no longer call
Stumble a few steps more.

Do the Rovian Perp Walk. It's a Fitzmas cheer for all.

14. 'Twas the night before Fitzmas and through the White House
The indictments were stirring
Karl Rove and George Louse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that Fitzgerald would not visit there.
Rove in his kerchief and Chimp in his cap
Were just settling down for a long winter's nap.
When in the grand jury arose such a clatter
They sprang to the door to see what was the matter.

CIA leak prosecutor again goes before grand jury

Wednesday, December 7, 2005; Posted: 2:20 p.m. EST (19:20 GMT)

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Six weeks after White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was indicted in the CIA leak case, special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald was back at work Wednesday before another grand jury with top presidential political adviser Karl Rove still under investigation.

Fitzgerald did not comment on the nearly-three-hour grand jury session where the prosecutor was accompanied by three deputies and an FBI agent.

After weeks of avoiding many public appearances with the president, Rove has been noticeably at Bush's side this week.

They traveled together Monday to North Carolina for a speech on the economy.

Rove also rode with Bush in his limousine Wednesday across Washington and listened attentively from the sidelines while the president delivered a speech on Iraq.

Much more at link....

17. "Rove's War" my 2 DVD set explains the entire Chronology of PlameGate
and I spent a year researching it - there's a 12 minute preview of it at http://www.takebackthemedia.com

It is my considered opinion that Rove is going to get INDICTED within months, there may very well BE a Fitzmas, or more likely a Happy FitzYear coming :)

20. But will this open up the fact that Chimp and Cheney
manufactured evidence? And will it point to the media as being essentially part of the administration?

21. I doubt it, I HOPE so..
it seems that Fitz goes for airtight cases and if he can get someone for Obstruction then he will do that - like most attorneys he uses the good old "shotgun" Indictment rule, throw everything at them and see what sticks, hoping they get imprisoned for at least ONE of the Indictments..

But Fitz does excellent work, he takes a LONG time as well - years.. and then he LOCKS them up.. the way he works, and this gives me Hope that he'll make his way to Cheney and the Chimp is that he eats the cookie from the outside in..

Watch "The Postman always rings twice" (the original) to see how they operate in the most simple manner - Good Cop/Bad Cop routine thrown in.. "Hey, the little lady says YOU did it.. how are you going to respond to that?" "What! THat Bitch! SHE'S the one that murdered the guy, I was only an accomplice.. uh.. wait.. I didn't see nothin'.."

And of course then BOTH are screwed..

Fitz IS aiming for the Creamy Center aka Bush and Cheney IMHO, and Rove may just be another step on the ladder on his way for the prize..

Look at the meeting of Feith, Ledeen, the Head of the Italian CIA (SISMI) all meeting in Rome in 2001 - with a KNOWN FORGER - the birth of the Niger Papers which they used for Bush's stupid ass lie to Congress, the 16 words.. at that meeting were Feith & Ledeen, LITERALLY CHENEY and ROVE'S AIDES..

There's a LOT more to this, and I've included it in my film, which I'm trying to get into the hands of any Congress person for FREE (some folks have donated to this cause and named a Senator/Congressman for me to send the DVD set to) as MANY Congress folks and their aides are just too damn busy to get all the facts, which I've boiled down for them as a tool against SPIN..

I should start an "Adopt a Senator/Congressman" campaign for this film. :)

Don't worry, it's just starting to flow, the good stuff is yet to come, Libby was an appetizer!

18. Fitzgerald Back Before CIA Leak Grand Jury

Fitzgerald Back Before CIA Leak Grand Jury

By PETE YOST, Associated Press Writer 18 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald was back before a federal grand jury on Wednesday in the CIA leak case, with deputy White House chief of staff Karl Rove still under investigation.

Since the Oct. 28 indictment of Vice President
Dick Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, two more reporters have been pulled into the investigation — The Washington Post's Bob Woodward and Time magazine's Viveca Novak.

Woodward has given a deposition about a conversation he had in mid-June 2003 in which a senior Bush administration official disclosed the CIA status of undercover officer Valerie Plame. Fitzgerald is seeking Novak's testimony about her conversations with Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, in 2004.

Fitzgerald did not comment on Wednesday's nearly three-hour grand jury session where the prosecutor was accompanied by three deputies and an
FBI agent.........

19. says Rove is at Jr's side this week.





.....After weeks of avoiding many public appearances with the president, Rove has been noticeably at Bush's side this week.

They traveled together Monday to North Carolina for a speech on the economy.

Rove also rode with Bush in his limousine Wednesday across Washington and listened attentively from the sidelines while the president delivered a speech on Iraq.

In the last grand jury activity in the leak case, on Oct. 28, Libby was indicted on five counts of perjury, obstruction of justice and lying to the FBI. Libby resigned and has pleaded not guilty.
