I've now completed my latest version of Anatomy of a White House Smear. I promised to post this last installment here, with links to the past posts. The earlier posts are:

* 3.1: Background and Data Collection
* 3.2: Leak Week
* 3.3: The Cover-Up
* 3.4: Patrick Fitzgerald Begins His Investigation
* 3.5: How the Journalists Tried to Avoid Testifying
* 3.6: How Rove Used the Journalists

And in this installment, I cover the post-indictment period.

This is the last of my Anatomy of a White House Smear series. We've seen some of the post-indictment events already, in reviewing the ways that Rove capitalized on the behavior of Woodward and Viveca Novak to evade charges. In this post, I examine the indictment and what we've learned since the indictment, with an eye toward speculating where this might go.

Snip.
