Fitzgerald did not close the door entirely (firedoglake)

............First of all, now Luskin is saying that he received a FAX from Fitzgerald. So, we’ve heard phone call (in the television reporting), letter (NYTimes) and now FAX from Time Magazine’s Mike Allen.

Second, there is this paragraph:



Translation: if I get solid evidence that your client lied to me, all bets are off.

Fitzgerald did not close the door entirely — no prosecutor ever does, since you never know what will turn up in the next document dump or investigative interview — so in order for Rove to be entirely in the clear for the long haul, he’d best have told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Can the same be said for Dick Cheney and others in the case? Time will tell.

Is Fitzgerald likely to charge Rove at this point? No, or he wouldn’t have sent the fax. But the investigation ends when Fitzgerald says it has and, frankly, there has been no announcement to that effect. (Nor will there be until, at the earliest, the end of the Libby matter. And won’t that be some fun testimony…) And everything points to the fact that things are continuing, since Fitzgerald’s spokesperson, Russell Samborn, is still in no comment mode, among other things.

But if evidence is found which shows that Rove lied or in some way obstructed the case? Well, that’s a FAX of a different color.

and then this by leveymg which includes emptywheel coupled that with what FDL is saying and everyone seems to be coming to the same conclusion, also there are some good thinkers chiming in on this

in fact I don't know what else I could add to this thread.

You ask the best ?s...

It seemed more than a little off that Bob wouldn't have plastered this letter all over the damn place.

I heart FDL!

I'm willing to bet that there really is a sealed indictment for Rove, and if Rove even thinks about double-crossing Fitz, ole Fitz will not hesitate to formally indict Rove.

you could google for more info, my knowledge is limited.
