Prosecutor Narrows Focus on Rove Role in C.I.A. Leak

[laureloak]

<snip>

Mr. Fitzgerald no longer seems to be actively examining some of the more incendiary questions involving Mr. Rove. At one point, he explored whether Mr. Rove misrepresented his role in the leak case to President Bush - an issue that led to discussions between Mr. Fitzgerald and James E. Sharp, a lawyer for Mr. Bush, an associate of Mr. Rove said.

Mr. Rove's lawyer, Robert D. Luskin, declined to discuss his client's legal status, but referred to a statement issued last week in which he expressed confidence that Mr. Fitzgerald would conclude that Mr. Rove had done nothing wrong.

6. It's almost soup...

when Rove's lawyer has "referred to a statement issued last week". HE made the statement - what, he can't make it again? These crooks and their lawyers have to vet and parse their words so closely that they don't even dare repeat them in real time. Yes, the soup is getting very thick, and therefore MUST be nearly done.

Can you smell what the Rove is cooking? Soup.
