MSNBC’s Chris Matthews appeared was on Don Imus’ show this morning and said that Karl Rove could be indicted today.

Transcript:

MATTHEWS: If, however, something happens with Karl Rove, we’re going to go to general quarters around here.

IMUS: What does that mean?

MATTHEWS: Meaning we will be taping probably on Saturday or late night because everything will change. Last time, when he picked up Scooter, when he nailed him 30 years of charges, that happened on 1:00 on a Friday. So we don’t know when it might happen, if it’s going happen.

IMUS: Are we expecting something with Karl Rove today?

MATTHEWS: Well, it could be today. It could be next week. Everybody is buzzing about when or if. It’s a big if, big when. There is a lot of talk because he is still being interviewing by the special prosecutor. He keeps being hauled before the grand jury. So something is going on here with the special prosecutor. We don’t know whether he is going to clear him or nail him.

Last night, Matthews reported that the grand jury is meeting today. Raw Story reports that networks are staking out the courthouse.

the story itself is cool, regardless of the messengers. Thanks!

Bush is seeing his bubble crash all around him. 29% approval getting reported. The NSA fiasco. And now, "vandals" blowing up a pipeline in Nigeria...can you say jump in gas prices?

Rove going down today would be the cherry on top of a very bad week for Bush.

eta: Rove's lawyers have been curiously silent of late.

that he "knew something big" but wasn't allowed to say what it is yet.
Anyone else hear that???

It would have to be from Rove's lawyers.

For that reason, I trust him wholeheartedly.

political views'. :eyes: Opinions being like assholes, he's just another asshole with an opinion.;)

... Dear Lord, I promise I will be good. I will go to worship this weekend and never stay out past 1am drinking... I promise Lord, just please let it be today...!!!

AMEN!

the GJ is meeting but they look at other cases too. so we don't know whether fitzgerald's team is in fact meeting with them.
