"Nothing in the Cooper e-mail suggests that Rove used Plame's name or knew she was a covert operative."

Key phrase to no crime being committed.

It looks like Fitzgerald just wanted to make sure Cooper's version of events square with Rove's testimony to the grand jury. Of course, even if no crime was committed, a Supreme Court appointment ain't the best time for this to come out.
