More on Rove's status from the WP
"Everyone thinks it is over for Karl and they are wrong," a source close to Rove said. The strategist's legal and political advisers "by no means think the part of the investigation concerning Karl is closed."

Cooper's attorney, Dick Sauber, said Fitzgerald certainly meant it when he told Luskin last week that Rove remains in legal jeopardy and under investigation. "It wouldn't surprise me knowing how careful he is and how much he doesn't want to be seen as trigger-happy, that he is going through each of those things and seeing if they can be verified or not," Sauber said.

"But no prosecutor wants to be embarrassed in court by something he didn't know. And no prosecutor, especially Pat Fitzgerald, wants to be seen as unfair -- especially in this kind of matter with so much at stake."

2. This makes it clear
the only thing that delayed Rove from the big I already Friday, was Levine's covering for him. Levine is probably lying without a doubt.

I bet anything Fitz is triangulating proof of that right now. If he does, that's two birds with one stone. Levine also better get his criminal attorney ready.

4. Whoa! Two weeks?

Fitzgerald's original grand jury was released from service Friday, after its term expired. Courthouse officials said he is likely to "borrow" a grand jury already convened to investigate additional crimes if needed, and could wrap up his investigation in less than two weeks. It is not uncommon for a prosecutor to quickly present his case to a new grand jury and ask for an indictment, they said.

emphasis is mine

Do you see this: Less than two weeks?

Is this more speculation, or does the Post know something we don't know?

8. They are quoting courthouse officials...
whatever that means. And how can anyone put a time frame on it, when Fitz himself refused to do that? He said he didn't know when he would be finished.

that point to this senario.

12. This is the second day in a row they are telling us he is not in the clear
at all. Sounds like they do hear it pretty clearly.

13. I noticed that, also
I found the paragraph above it interesting also...

McClellan, who famously told reporters and the public in 2003 that Libby and Rove had assured him they had no roles in the leak, also defended his own credibility. McClellan said he wishes he could say more, but that he is confident he has been honest and forthcoming. People close to the investigation said Libby and Rove misled the White House spokesman.

Note that both Libby and Rove are said to have misled Scotty. Rove's still in hot water and only time will tell if he's able to get out unscathed.

14. Yup, Remember the DELAY Grand Jury Sequence?
Edited on Tue Nov-01-05 10:01 AM by Beetwasher
Indictment round 1, then days later, indictment round 2.

The 2nd grand jury can be and usually is MUCH quicker. The reports and summaries of all the evidence and testimony is ready to go already. Only some fine tuning is usually necessary.

Remember, when Fitz was saying MOST of the investigation is done? This is what he was talking about and it's NOT a bad thing, it EXPEDITES matters.

7. I figured as much.
This will give the wingnuts time to celebrate and get their hopes back up just in time for them to come crashing down again.

I hope any fuckers playing down the fact that "only" Libby got indicted will have a foot jammed in their mouth in two weeks.
