Reporters at the major cable television networks plan to be on the ground Friday outside a federal district court where the jury considering the fate of President Bush's senior adviser Karl Rove.

No formal indication has been given of Rove's status, though lawyers close to the case have said his fate is likely to be determined soon. Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald, who is investigating the outing of CIA officer Valerie Plame, is scheduled to meet with the grand jury in the case Friday.

The major networks plan to have reporters live on the ground, a senior reporter said.

Two White House reporters covering the case said they had not heard anything about new Rove developments, though they confirmed that the grand jury is scheduled to meet.

I am always a little on pins and needles on Wednesdays and Fridays hoping for an announcement lately!

Has there been any whiff of a hint that anything else is going on tomorrow?

They haven't been "live" around Fitz since Libby was indicted.

We'd know it here first.

the media is tied to this admin's hip, we aren't

I don't mean to be a wet blanket on this, but didn't the NY Times report recently that Fitz's office would give advance notice to the media so that they could be ready for a press conference on the day of the indictment (assuming there is one). If Fitz was going to indict tomorrow, it seems like something would have already leaked about a notice like this going out to the various members of the media today.

also I wouldn't believe the NYT - after all they carried the water for the WH on WMD reporting and Wiretaps

indictments until the day of the indictments:

Fitz office announced on the morning of Oct 28th that there would be a press conference @ 2pm that afternoon.

I would expect a similar thing.

I didn't realize he announced it that morning. For some reason I thought he had given more notice and that was circulating around in the press in the day or two leading up to the indictment. I guess we've waited so long for a Rove indictment that I don't want to get my hopes up too high!

notice would he have to give? Of course, if he did a notice today, think of all the coverage the stations would provide speculating through tomorrow afternoon.

he doesn't give anything away

I am ready ;)

How are you feeling?

bike since Saturday - I still have to take it easy so I don't distress my system, I think I will keep it under 30 miles today ;)

You peeps out in Cali have great biking country - I am jealous ;(

Whoo Hoooooooo.....

Rove indicted...immediate celebration.

:hi:

happy times - Darth, Rice, Rumsfeld, * ect - when they go down as well ;)

the networks are whipping the public into a frenzy about the Polygamist preacher Warren Jeffs. Thre must be serious diversion.

I won't get excited about this....

I think Kavanaugh is unqualified and would like to (but don't expect to) see his nomination derailed. But I don't get this idea that we should be particularly concerned about him because of Rove. First of all, would anyone else chimpy might appoint to the court at this point in time be any less likely to side with Rove? WHy? And given that there are 10 judges on the DC Circuit (not counting senior status judges) and most of them were appointed by repubs, why does anyone think that Kavanaugh would necessarily be on the panel to hear an appeal of a Rove conviction (which assumes that Rove is indicted, tried, and convicted, all of which we can steadfastly hope for but shouldn't assume).

onenote

Don't get me wrong, I'm on pins and needles, but I'm hesitant to get my hopes up.

Exams are over for me tomorrow; if it's Fitzmas as well, this could very well be the best day I've had in a long time.

and yes it is always on Wednesdays and Fridays but only if it is needed. :)

... meets on Wed. and Fri. for any US prosecutor in that Federal District, not just for Mr. Fitzgerald. I've yet to see any indication that Mr. Fitzgerald is actually scheduled to be before the GJ, only that the GJ is scheduled to meet.

p.s. This is not critical of Raw Story, in any way, as I have much admiration for how many times they've been in front of all the media.


pro-Bu$h = Anti-America

Does anyone know if he's back in D.C. yet? That's what the networks have to look for. What good will the stake out do if Fitz is still in Chicago?

he'll be back in DC! :party:

for everyone!

Right on time folks.

things have been escalating so quickly over the past few days
as the republicans appear to be totally coming apart at the seams.
I think something big is coming... and this may be it.
This may be the final straw that brings down this evil empire.
There is just too much corruption.... the weight of wrongdoing
is crushing the republicans. You can see them flailing and gasping.
This may be it. Their end is coming soon.

We need a Fitz courthouse cam we can watch them on.

One can dream...
