The White House waits another day in CIA leak probe

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27 — Working against the clock, Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald weighed criminal charges against top presidential aides at the end of a two-year investigation that put the White House in a state of high suspense Thursday night. Fitzgerald raced against a Friday expiration of the grand jury that has been investigating the exposure of covert CIA officer Valerie Plame's identity. Speculation flew across Washington about who would be indicted, or whether Fitzgerald would even bring criminal charges.

White House colleagues feared Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis ''Scooter'' Libby, would be indicted Friday for at least false statements but held out hope that presidential political adviser Karl Rove might escape criminal charges for the time being.

A person outside the legal profession familiar with recent developments in the case said Thursday night that Rove's team does not believe he is out of legal jeopardy yet but likely would be spared bad news Friday when the White House fears the first indictments will be issued.

Fitzgerald signaled Thursday he might keep Rove under continuing investigation, sparing him from immediate charges, the person said, speaking only on condition of anonymity because of the secrecy of the grand jury probe.

the case...that is the source.

The source might be a woman. A "person"--the sentence constructed to avoid any gender mention. His wife? A female on his staff? Or maybe a female working for Scottie, doing the background press calls, speaking not for attribution? Odds are good it is someone in the WH, Rover was there all damn day....

just a bunch of bullshit by somebody who doesn't know their ass from a hole in the ground. Hmmm sounds like shrub.
