CBS News: It's Not Over

[Quixote1818]

(CBS/AP) Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said the CIA leak investigation is substantially complete, though "it's not over."

Fitzgerald spoke to reporters at the Justice Department, following the indictment of Vice President Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, after a two-year investigation. Fitzgerald wouldn't comment about the possible involvement of President Bush's closest adviser, Karl Rove, who remains under investigation.

CBS News chief White House correspondent John Roberts reports that Fitzgerald wants to know why Rove didn't tell the grand jury about a telephone conversation with Time reporter Matt Cooper in which he identified CIA agent, Valerie Plame. Rove's legal team hopes to convince the prosecutor it was an honest omission.

If so, Cheney, who prizes secrecy, will be called upon as a witness to explain why the administration launched a campaign against Plame's husband, diplomat Joseph Wilson, a critic of the war who questioned Mr. Bush's assertion that Iraq had sought nuclear material.

1. "Complete but not over"

Only in America.

2. "substantially complete, though "it's not over."" Is the snip.

That means it's not over.

And it doesn't suggest that we're being told everything Fitz knows.

I know it's Fitzmas, but there actually will be a few holidays to celebrate.
