Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop
Did Karl Rove Hide or Destroy Evidence in Plame Case?

By JASON LEOPOLD

Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald met with the grand jury investigating the leak of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson for several hours Friday. Short of a last minute intervention by Rove's attorney, Fitzgerald is expected to ask a grand jury-possibly as soon as next week--the to indict Rove for making false statements to the FBI and Justice Department investigators in October 2003, lawyers close to the case say.

Moreover, Fitzgerald is said to believe that there is a possibility Rove either hid or destroyed evidence related to his role in the leak, lawyers close to the case said.

A few weeks after he took over the investigation into the leak of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson in early 2004, Fitzgerald had already become suspicious that Karl Rove and Vice President Cheney's then-chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby were hindering his investigation.

In late January 2004, Fitzgerald sent a letter to his boss, then acting Attorney General James Comey, seeking confirmation that he had the authority to investigate and prosecute individuals for additional crimes, including obstruction of justice, perjury, and destroying evidence. The leak investigation had been centered up to that point on an obscure law making it a felony for any government official to knowingly disclose the identity of an undercover CIA officer.

3. Please

Rove needs some payback for his years of thug actions.

BTW Rove fun fact: In the 1980s ...... John Ashcroft ran and won as Governor of Missouri ......
interestingly he won districts in St. Louis that were majority black and that was the first time
in years a republican had won those districts ...... dead people got up and voted too.

Rove is all about "getting the Job done," not matter what needs to happen. I really think that
the outing of Plame was to roll up Brewster Jenning's front group who were getting close to
WMDs and bush's Saudi bankers. :tinfoilhat:

7. Jason Leopold is doing a superb job reporting

and this article is a must read.

"Following his meeting with Novak, Luskin told Rove that Novak said he was Cooper's source. Luskin and Rove then did an exhaustive search through White House phone logs and emails to find any evidence that Rove spoke with Cooper. That's when the email Rove sent to Hadley was discovered, Luskin said, which he promptly turned over to Fitzgerald. However, Luskin won't say when he turned it over, or why the email wasn't found when the White House was subpoenaed on Jan. 22, 2004 or when White House counsel Alberto Gonzales ordered all White House staff in October 2003 to turn over emails and other documentary evidence that showed officials spoke with journalists."

(I added the bold font).

Keep "exposing injustice" Jason!

A day or two ago
I didn't think we'd know
in time for Christmas cheer
that Rove's arrest was near

But soon we got the word
he'd lied just like a turd
And Fitzy didn't buy his ploy
of cryin' in his beer.

Oh, Libby down, Rover down
Bush is on his way--yeah
Libby down, Rover down
And Cheney any day--oh

Jingle bells
jingle bells
jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to say
that Bush is going away!

And here's a happy thought
for bringing in the year
lace that yummy punch you bought
with a slug of Rummy cheer

When midnight comes that night
and all the world is bright
and all the children safe and sound
We'll drink that sucker down--yeah

Jingle bells
jingle bells
jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to say
that Bush is going away-ay!
