It's interesting to see you and balch3 post such differing ideas about Fitzgerald. I don't think we can see where he's going with this at this point because the leaks don't show a consistent line of attack, to me at least. I was surprised when the charges against Clinton came out and they had zero to do with Whitewater itself, so I expect to be surprised here.
I do find it perfectly believable yet confounding how Cooper is obviously more guilty of lying than is Rove, yet that angle gets no coverage. Par for the course. But it confirms to me that Rove is a lot smarter than to go down for something like this, and Cooper, he of the "last minute" permission to reveal his sources that was actually an 18-month-old permission, is a self-aggrandizing BS artist. Like Wilson.
I don't disagree with balch3's assessment of the potential outcome. However, I am taking the Mr. Optimist approach (otherwise I would spend more time reading about this case then I already am).
Here is one blog that I have found to be interesting...and potentially optimistic as well. It is run by and ex-military intel guy with some current contacts in the intel community.
