Will Karl Rove Be Indicted? (from Counterpunch)
I'm unsure as to how reliable this source is but damn if it didnt put a smile on my face!! Frog march Rove NOW!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Occasionally I get emails from Washington folks who work on the Hill claiming to possess juicy insider digs on our public servants and their corporate paymasters. I usually delete said emails, as I don't want to be responsible for propagating dirty rumors or false information that can't be corroborated. I'd rather let Judith Miller and the New York Times do that. Nonetheless, in the past 24 hours I have been contacted by three separate Congressional Democrats in Washington, and a Justice Department official, first by email and later phone, who all say the same thing: Karl Rove is about to be indicted.

<snip>

If it turns out that Rove did leak Plame to Cooper, it still does not necessarily mean that he was also Robert Novak's inside guy, although it surely raises suspicion. The indictment, as I am told, will most likely be of felony weight. In fact, Karl Rove may be accused of perjury, as Bush's top strategist told a Grand Jury that he was not responsible for leaking Plame's identity to Time magazine.

So the charge may not be for leaking top-secret information to the press, but for perjuring himself.

<snip>

Apparently I'm not the only one who has been leaked this information either. Over at Redstate, a right-wing Internet blog, one member who calls himself "Ohsure," also claims " Great sources confirmed" the matter, and later added:

"I not only don't do this, I have never done this.

But here it is;

'Karl Rove will be indicted late this, or early next week.'

I'm trusting a source. So either I am made a into an overzealous horses a**, or..., I have good sources and may be more trusted to get these things right."

Over to you Mr. Fitzgerald.
