Having read hundreds of breathless “Rove will be indicted” posts on the left wing blogs, I can find nary a word this morning about the news that Karl Rove will NOT be indicted.
Where is HuffPosts Lawrence O’Donnell? I hope is ok this morning. Maybe he can’t get out of bed this am, too depressed by the news? Who could blame him? Check out his Rove posts,
April 26: Who asked Rove to return?
Karl Rove’s return to the grand jury today could mean the end of the Rove investigation or the beginning of the Rove prosecution.
Rove’s Lawyer an On-the-Record Liar
Rove�??s lawyer is now an on-the-record liar. The proof: Luskin told the Washington Post the other day that if Rove escapes indictment, it won�??t be �??the product of my particular skill or cleverness.�?� Whenever prominent Washingtonians resort to humility in print, they are lying at minimum about their state of mind. Luskin�??s lie runs deeper than that. The truth is Rove is not yet indicted exclusively because of his lawyer�??s �??particular skill.�?�
As usual, Luskin has said nothing that is inconsitent with Rove being indicted. But it usually takes the MSM a news cycle or two to figure that out.
If no one RSVPs to Fitzgerald’s invitations, look for indictments as early as next week. If anyone does sit down with Fitzgerald, he will probably have to move to extend the grand jury, which now has only thirteen working days left in its term. Prediction: at least three high level Bush Administration personnel indicted and possibly one or more very high level unindicted co-conspirators.
The One Very Good Reason Karl Rove Might Be Indicted
All the judges who have seen the prosecutor�??s secret evidence firmly believe he is pursuing a very serious crime, and they have done everything they can to help him get an indictment.
Rove’s “I Did Not Inhale” Defense
In a huge admission to Newsweek and the Los Angeles Times, Luskin confessed that, well, yes, Rove did talk to Cooper. It is a huge admission in a case where Rove and Luskin have never, before Friday, felt compelled to say a word about Rove’s contact with Cooper or anyone else involved in the case.
If you see this man walking around Washington in his PJ’s muttering to himself, please call the authorities.
