I have a feeling that the swirling buzz of rumors around
Rove this week was Fitzy pressuring for a plea bargain,
and Rove calling his bluff. Either Fitzy knew he had nothing,
or thought he did, but couldn't get the jurors to swallow it.
Shouldn't that information be available? I mean...he refused to say whether or not the grand jury refused to indict others? Sounds a lot like Ronnie Earles..who went through how many grand juries before he got one to indict DeLay. In fact, he got a "no bill" from one and kept that info from the grand jury that had only been seated an hour before indicting DeLay.
I'm sure the media will be looking into this....yeah right.
Well...Boundless...I truly think you've nailed it. ;o)
This isn't a prosecutor who is known to bluff. He got indictments on the Sec of State licenses for bribes scandal in Illinois state government, he's gotten indictments for Daley admin. officials in Chicago. He's very thorough and very compentent, and all the stories swirling around have been just that: stories, speculations. This guy doesn't screw around. Libby was obviously cavalier about this investigation and got nailed. There may be more indictments, there may be another GJ, but he isn't going to be saying anything else until the investigation really closes down, or there are more indictments, or maybe something that surprises everyone.
Now that people know this guy is dead serious, maybe this will wrap up soon. It may have wrapped up a lot earlier if Libby hadn't tried to protect his boss from what he thought (justifiably), was an assault on the administration.
Anyway, the admin. has survived, and the less said about this from our side, the better. The next SCOTUS appointment should be happening in the near future, and this business will be lost in the next major news cycle.
