Rove will resign........did you read this?
Rove Informs White House He Will Be Indicted
By Jason Leopold
t r u t h o u t | Report

Friday 12 May 2006

Within the last week, Karl Rove told President Bush and Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten, as well as a few other high level administration officials, that he will be indicted in the CIA leak case and will immediately resign his White House job when the special counsel publicly announces the charges against him, according to sources.

Details of Rove's discussions with the president and Bolten have spread through the corridors of the White House where low-level staffers and senior officials were trying to determine how the indictment would impact an administration that has been mired in a number of high-profile political scandals for nearly a year, said a half-dozen White House aides and two senior officials who work at the Republican National Committee.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, sources confirmed Rove's indictment is imminent. These individuals requested anonymity saying they were not authorized to speak publicly about Rove's situation. A spokesman in the White House press office said they would not comment on "wildly speculative rumors."

1. I'm betting on Monday.
I don't think Fitz will let this linger in the rumor mill. Earlier today, I wasn't sure if it might not be until Tuesday or Wednesday, but because this story has spread all over the net already, my guess is that Fitz will hold a press confrence on Monday...around noon.

The really funnd thing is, Shrub is having his prime time speach Monday night! He can't cancel it now!

I know CNN & MSNBC have both said they were doing special programming after the seach to discuss what it all meant, but I BET those talking heads all talk more about the impact of the Rove resignation than they do about the Shrub immigration bill!

HA HA! Life is really rough when you're cornered isn't it Shrub?

4. Sure he listens to Cheny, and Cheny is the power, but Unka Dick
is a lousy politician. Rove was the politician that everybody listened to, and I think left to their own plans, they're all in deep do do.

12. I wonder though...
Do you suppose he'll have access to a telephone? Perhaps he could work "off the books", "remotely"... of course, the trial will be a major distraction for a while...

6. Cheney's getting caught up in it, too....see the enclosed link...

A Fresh Focus on Cheney
Hand-written notes by the Vice President surface in the Fitzgerald probe.

<http://msnbc.msn.com/id/12774274/site/newsweek/>

QUOTE:

Cheney's notes, written on the margins of a July 6, 2003 New York Times op-ed column by former ambassador Joseph Wilson, were included as part of a filing Friday night by prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald in the perjury and obstruction case against ex-Cheney chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.

The notes, Fitzgerald said in his filing, show that Cheney and Libby were "acutely focused" on the Wilson column and on rebutting his criticisms of the White House's handling of pre-Iraq war intelligence. In the column, which created a firestorm after its publication, Wilson wrote that he had been dispatched by the CIA without pay to Niger in February, 2002 to investigate an intelligence report that Iraq was seeking uranium from the African country for a nuclear bomb. Wilson said he was told Cheney had asked about the intelligence,but the White House subsequently ignored his findings debunking the Niger claims.


Read the whole article...it's VERY interesting!

9. Rove will direct the White House's defense of him. He will continue...
Edited on Sun May-14-06 01:30 AM by wake.up.america
his "dirty tricks" in one form or another. He is probably seeking out an individual who would trade favors. The White House will appoint that person as a judge.

10. I'm afraid even if he's convicted,
he'll continue his dirty tricks from prison. But I do enjoy thinking about him sharing a cell with a 400 lb. guy named Bubba who thinks Karl's cheeks are sweet!
