Obviously they have different sources than the NYT has.

I'm waiting to hear what Fitzgerald says.

1. oh please, you can't let rove off the hook!

[Connie_Corleone]

2. All this crap comes from the Defense attorneys.

I'll wait for Fitzgerald's press conference.

[thinkingwoman]

4. Yes, you're right

many of us have been pointing this out and still people are suckered in by the planted stories.

Thanks for saying it yet again!

3. Good Idea let's wait and not knee jerk on this.

[Pithy Cherub]

5. Fitzgerald is the legal version of E.F. Hutton!

When he speaks we shall KNOW...a lot!

Rove, Libby Assemble Team to Handle Possible CIA Leak Indictments

The White House, district court officials and two possible targets of the CIA leak investigation were making preparations yesterday for the possible announcement of indictments by special counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald today, according to several sources familiar with the investigation.

Two sources said I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Cheney's chief of staff, was shopping for a white-collar criminal lawyer and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove began assembling a public relations team in the event they are indicted.

6. Well, somebody is right and somebody is wrong

I will wait until I hear it straight from Mr. Fitzgerald, because apparently he is keeping this close to his vest.

[meisje]

7. What time was this written?

[highplainsdem]

18. Didn't see a time listed on the article, which is for tomorrow's paper.

But Google News lists it as "33 minutes ago."

[goforit]

8. Oh well, I thought they would have taken Cheney out.

[rodeodance]

12. Rove is putting together a public relations team!! at who's expense?

.....Rove began assembling a public relations team in the event they are indicted.

[highplainsdem]

26. The same people who pay for *'s photo-ops -- us.

[ultraist]

27. Really! Are WE paying for Rove's PR team? WTF? n/t

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

10. Fitz can request another grand jury be empaneled

He can continue that way.

I didn't see anywhere in the article where they definitively said that the current GJ would not be extended.

I did read earlier today that he would not extend the current GJ, but would empanel another one. This makes sense, given that the current GJ has been working on this for two years and might need to get on with their lives.

11. OMG....

OldLeftyLawyer all day yesterday, kept saying to what must have amounted to a thousand posts, was:

NOBODY "KNOWS" NOTHING YET.

LOL... This proves he is dead on. WP: no GJ extension... Rove and Libby are "worried" lol... and NYT: GJ to be extended.. Rove not yet indicted tomorrow, but further investigated and Libby to be indicted.

I'm not believing anything until the facts are in. It's way better for my health.

Now... onto reading some entertaining threads....:popcorn:

[rodeodance]

14. I gottcha. and the popcorn WILL help

[ultraist]

28. SHE was dead on. ;) n/t

[janx]

13. Not necessarily mutually exclusive--

If Fitzgerald extends this, then they both should be worried--and some other people should be worried as well.

[rodeodance]

15. yes, I agree. but I feel deflated right now if this is true--rove off for

now.

[rodeodance]

16. not even front page status at the WPost.

19. OFF? Are you kidding?

Either a federal judge has agreed to continue this grand jury or s/he has agreed to empanel a new one--to investigate Rove and perhaps others.

I don't know much about Law, but I can see that this is a beginning rather than an end.

[regnaD kciN]

24. I don't know where you got THAT reading...

According to the WP article, the GJ won't be extended, and it's likely both Rove and Libby will be indicted.

The NYT, on the other hand, says that Rove won't be indicted yet and the GJ will be extended.

Now, I don't know which of them is accurate, but it would seem that either the case will be extended or Rove will likely be indicted tomorrow. One or the other. Not a combination of the two that would leave Rove uncharged and the investigation over.

[Theduckno2]

17. Question.. What time of day does the grand jury usually start?

I believe they meet MWF and would like to have an idea when indictments might be handed down. I realize there may be indictments under seal though.

[Garbo 2004]

20. I think I read they meet at 9 am. n/t

[Theduckno2]

23. Thanks, seems right to me. n/t

[Ksec]

21. If rove gets off Im gonna scream

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

22. Me too!

I'm waiting to hear what Fitzgerald says.

For one thing, if the sources are Libby and Rove and/or their attorneys, how reliable can that be???

[GetTheRightVote]

25. Fitz has got to stop these criminals from destroying our nation

Help us save her, God Bless the USA !!
