If an indictment, why need for "target" letter.... |
|
I'm just a little confused. If a person is indicted, then why the need for a letter informing the person that he or she is a "target" of the Grand Jury? If this is the case, I would think that as soon as a person became a suspect or a potentially indictable person from a Grand Jury, then that is when the "target" letter would be sent. Not after an indictment.
Thoughts?

3. It's an invitation for the target(s) to come in and strike a deal |
|
If a target talks, it strengthens Fitz's case on other targets. What does the target get in return? A dropped indictment and status as an unindicted co-conspirator, most likely.

5. I figure the only way somebody like Rove would be able to |

plea to unindicted co-conspirator status was if the prosecutor were going after * or VP. Rove is a pretty big fish in his own right.
