Question On The Leoplold Thing (Sorry, I'm Mostly A Lurker On This Issue)

[Dinger]

If no indictment by Wednesday, will this issue be dead?

[RagAss]

1. afraid not...... the flame wars will just be reving up.....

[stop the bleeding]

Wednesday is gonna be interesting to say the least

Hang on we are going for a ride

[BuyingThyme]

2. Which issue? Rove or Leopold?

[Dinger]

7. If No Indictment OF ROVE By Wed., Then What?

If not, is this over?

[BuyingThyme]

13. Rove will go on until Fitz directly or indirectly says otherwise.

Leopold may be over if an indictment doesn't come down soon.

[bluestateguy]

3. No, then we get to hear the excuse-makers for Leopold

and the people who will blame anybody other than Leopold for being wrong. But let's wait and see.

[Inland]

4. Yes, AND dead if there IS an indictment on wednesday.

Leopold's two day scoop doesn't make a bit of difference, except to him and his reputation. Rove is either indicted, or he isn't, and no amount of us knowing as of last Friday amounts to anything.

So expect it forgotten except with regard to Leopold's career prospects as of wednesday.

5. What issue?

There is no indictment.

The story was bogus.

But, I do love that "fiifteen hour session at the office of Rove's defense counsel" part. That was better than any fairy tale ever told.

Color it dead.

15. I know you're right more times than wrong and I respect

that.

But somehow I just have to catch a dummy on this one. IOW...if I'm gonna be a sucker I'll be a quiet one.

[Gman]

6. K&R... This is about Leopold

[Catherine Vincent]

8. Oh heck no.

LOL!

[jumpoffdaplanet]

9. No, because it's Thursday

The end of Wednesday is just the end of the 24 biz hours. The start of Thursday is the time for the frog-marching

[Dinger]

12. Oh C'Mon, That's Stretchin' It A Bit, Isn't It?

It seems to me that if there is no indictment by Thursday, people will think of another reason to wait. I'm way too sick of waiting.

[Connie_Corleone]

16. That's assuming the 24 hours are LITERAL 24 hours.

The 24 hours could be figurative only.

Or the 24 hours are only during business hours. So that would be 8 hours from 9am to 5pm ET, which means 3 business days starting today and ending Wednesday. But then Thursday would be the announcement day for indictments.

:evilgrin:

[European Socialist]

10. My question--What good is outing the sources if they were allies with...

Rove in this scheme?

[Mr_Spock]

11. I'm waiting until Friday.

Then I'm just going to move on & ignore all the childish flame-fests (this assumes your premise of no indictment).

People take this crap WAY too seriously.

[johnaries]

14. NO! The key words are "after Tuesday". That means the EARLIEST

would be Wednesday.

If you've been following, Fitz is not following any any false time schedule. He is taking his time, making sure he's right before proceeding.

By saying "after Tuesday" he's saying we won't hear anything before then. It could happen anytime after that. Wednesday, Friday, next week, next month....

Frustrating for us, I know. But he's taking his time and doing it right. It will happen. Patience, grasshopper.
