Question: Does 22 indictments mean 22 people, each indicted once...

[Maddy McCall]

or does it mean, say, 7 people, each indicted with 3 charges?

In other words, just because we are hearing the rumor that 22 indictments are about to be handed down, it doesn't necessarily mean that 22 people will be indicted?

What do y'all think?

1. I'll settle for 1. As long as I can name him.

[Fridays Child]

7. If it could only be one, who would you name.

I know who I'd name.

[The Backlash Cometh]

21. The one with the biggest mouth, and who has the most to say.

Now that I think about it, the first one indicted usually gets the plea bargain to name the others, doesn't he?

[Fridays Child]

26. True.

That would be Rove. Do you think he'd take a bullet for B*sh? I don't know.

22. Hmmm...do you think she'll sing like a canary for the sake of her

children?

[Maddy McCall]

23. I don't think so. She's more devoted to Georgy Porgy than to her kids.

Grrr. I hate her.

[goodhue]

2. the latter

not the former

[Walt Starr]

3. Could be anything, really.

22 charges, could even not be 22.

My guess is, though, Rove and Libby are getting hit hard.

[Sanity Claws]

4. Fewer than 22 people

Some will probably have multiple indictments. But still, if that rumor is true, a lot of people seem to be implicated.

[electropop]

5. I think your second guess is more likely.

The important question is "which seven?"

[BlueEyedSon]

6. i think its 3 people with 5, 2 with 2 and 3 more with one each!

[Maddy McCall]

11. We ought to do a pool on this. Just for fun, no money involved.

And have everyone guess how many people will be charged and how many counts each. :D

[BlueEyedSon]

12. LOL!

[Massacure]

9. Even three or four or five close Bush advisers can ruin Bush's day.

I just hope it doesn't happen before I go shopping, I need butter for my popcorn!

[Halliburton]

10. could be 22 total indictments or 22 total people indicted

but I don't know if it's possible if you can indict someone 22 times. though Karl might be pushing that mark!

[spindrifter]

13. It's blackjack and a bonus point

[Fuzz]

18. 22 in BJ and your busted, and a lot of people are gonne be busted soon

:)

[Hell Hath No Fury]

14. I think we are looking at multiple counts against...

maybe less than a dozen -- or even half a dozen -- people.

Counts I would guarantee against each of the people:

1) Obstruction of justice

2) Lying to a grand jury

Them we get to spend the next year or so saying, "It's not about the blowjob -- oops -- outing a CIA agent, it's about the LYING!" ;)

[MissWaverly]

15. the other blogs are saying 22 people

1 indictment each, starting with everyone on Bush's plane when the
memo was openly discussed, then you have everyone involved in the
cover-up

[Hell Hath No Fury]

16. I really can't imagine them hitting...

everyone involved with only one count. Anyone who testified before the grand jury and lied is looking at a minimum of two counts: obstruction and lying under oath.

[MissWaverly]

30. I really don't know, what you say makes sense

[grytpype]

17. 22 people sounds like a lot.

There are only about 21 Bush admin people involved in this. So where they get 22 people indicted, I don't know.

Hell, if it's half that many officials indicted, that's a lot.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

19. 22 people:

scooter libby
karl rove
karen hughes
mary matlin
dick cheney
donald rumsfeld
alberto gonzales
lynn cheney
laura bush
scott mcclellan
condoleeza rice
andy card
paul wolfowitz
porter goss
george bush

and for good measure throw in

peggy noonan
alan greenspan
rush limbaugh
bill o'reilly
sean hannity
ann coulter
barbara bush

There. That's 22. How'd I do?

[0007]

24. Where's John Bolton?

[goclark]

27. Where is Colin?

[tinfoilinfor2005]

31. And that's what I'm sayin'...22 just scratches the surface

IMO...

[understandinglife]

20. Could be either. But, what I find amusing is the # 22 & the ThinkProgress

.... list of 21:

http://www.thinkprogress.org/leak-scandal

You'd only have to add one name -- and, if you asked me which name I'd add to bring it to 22, it would be Bolton :evilgrin:

All I do have as fact are the words of Judge Tatel in his Feb 2005 opinion and every time I've read those words I only become more convinced that Fitzgerald and the Grand Jury are going to be bringing very serious charges against whomever the Grand Jury indicts.


Peace.

25. Rumors, rumors...oh, please do tell. I have been away from the computer

for most of the day. These sound like scrumptious rumors:9


Anyway, for my money, I'd say that there are a handful of players that are going to be handed multiple indictments. Some more than others.

[Independent_Liberal]

28. I think it means 7 people with 3 charges each.

Tom DeLay got indicted twice.

[Spazito]

29. I would be happy with Rove and Libby with bush and cheney as

un-indicted co-conspirators, anything else would be pure gravy.
