Plame Game - The Final Curtain

Via inside tip: , confirming Reuters, that indictments in the Plame case are to be announced this week.

However...

1. No surprise,

There will be no indictment for Rove or Libby. However, some journalists (Familiar names) may be tapped on conspiracy to obstruct a Federal investigation, and other second tiered charges, yet it is not expected that any substantive indictments will be announced.

Fitzgerald will announce that there was no statuatory leak of Valerie Plame's identitiy did NOT occur as the 1982 Intelligence Identities Protection Act, Specifically 421(a)(b)(c), did not apply to subject Valerie Plame, and were therefore not considered in this case.

Therefore the charges will be strictly related to the above mentioned secondary charges, if any.

Extra note: Word is that Judith Miller's 'publicity stunt' and book deal hasn't set well with the Prosecutorial team.

More to come.

UPDATE: Rove's three month offer of additional testamony has been accepted, although Fitzgerald has had the written testamony all along. This addition testamony has nothing to do with Miller or Scooter, but has to do with Cooper, who as everyone should have noticed is markedly absent of late.

More: My feeling is that Fitz now needs this additional testimony to move towards Cooper, whom I long had suspicion that he all along worked in a setup on Rove.

Normally at this point in a investigation, "11th hour" testamony is crossing the "Ts", getting things down, now that Fitz SHOULD have the story of what happened, it all points back to Cooper, although other media types should be ducking as well.

I can't see, nor can my source see Rove's testimony being accepted at this time just to "fry him".

Tracked to Tom Mcguire.
