National Review: ROVE's Supporters Getting Nervous

Will Rove be Indicted?
As rumors fly, here’s what’s known at this point.



There have been rumors flying around Washington in the last few days that Karl Rove, the president's top political adviser, might soon be indicted in the CIA leak investigation. At least for now, the rumors appear to be based on someone hearing that someone else had heard something, or that someone had gotten a sense that something was about to happen and told someone else. Are there any facts to back up such gossip and guessing? No one seems to know.


But it is true that there is growing nervousness among people who support Rove's side in the case. They know that prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, in addition to presenting some new evidence to a new federal grand jury, has also re-presented previously-gathered evidence to that grand jury. To most observers, that suggests Fitzgerald could be planning to indict someone.

Rove's supporters also know that the time is about right for something to happen. Back in late October, when Fitzgerald indicted Vice President Dick Cheney's then-chief-of-staff Lewis Libby, he refrained from taking action in Rove's case because of a new argument made by Rove's attorney, Robert Luskin. That new argument, everyone agreed, would take a while to check out and assess. Now, it seems likely that enough time has passed; Fitzgerald has either found Rove's and Luskin's case persuasive or he hasn't.

1. Byron York is a total twit.

He can't resist taking a shot at Fitz in his fanal paragraph.

Still, the fact that this bush whore is expressing concern by Rove supporters is somewhat encouraging.

2. If there's no remaining crimes, why would he be talking to....

...a grand jury? Hence, there must be crimes remaining for which people have not been indicted. Trust me, Fitz isn't just entertaining them with tales of the Viagra pen and the lastest bush jokes.

Ah, yes kiddies! 'Twill be a Merry Fitzmas indeed, with Karl pulling a sleigh-load of federal marshalls out of the White House, with his chains rattling like Marley's ghost.

Sleep well, kiddies! Let visions of Karl Rove's pasty white ass being Bubba's Christmas sugarplum dance in your heads!
