Problem is prosecutors are in the business of finding someone to blame for everything. He was appointed for a reason, so he assumes a crime must be there; otherwise why ask for him to look into it. It's just human nature. Plus it's tempered by the fact...if he's wrong the jury will acquit. I'm sure that info will be brought up at trial (if it goes to trial..usually these guys get a plea bargain like Sandy Burglar).

Rove will face prison time if he loses or admit to guilt and get probation. Either way his political career is over. The damage is done. Remember this isn't a local state prosecutor like the Delay case. If an indictment comes out against anyone it will hurt.

O'Donnell predicted that a couple of people would be indicted in this case.
I can't stand O'Donnell, but he was the first person to identify Rove as a source for Cooper, from Time magazine.

"Let him testify, not me. What was I thinking?"

LOL
I just re-read your posting and it was hilarious as written.

I have nothing by rumor to go on, but from the expressions on people's faces around these parts...they're really worried.

Damn, I'm getting a headache--big time.

Rove is being called back because Miller's testimony is discrepant with something said about Rove.

So either she's lying or someone else is (maybe Rove), and Fitzgerald wants to get to the bottom of it.

Hard to prove, but quite easy to charge someone with it.

If that is the case, I'm betting Rove has notes and Miller doesn't.

Even if he gets indicted, all Rove needs to do is to run out the clock until one day after the '08 election. Then its pardon time. If McCain is the GOP candidate, Bush might not even wait that long. It will be two-for: a going away gift for a loyal soldier and a kidney punch to a disloyal one.

The very first line in the article: Federal prosecutors have accepted an offer from presidential adviser Karl Rove to give 11th-hour testimony

Prosecutors aren't calling him...he's going because he wants to correct a statement he's made.

O'Donnell also wrote today that Rove received a target letter because Rove's lawyer failed to deny receiving one. He just did so today (that is, Rove's lawyer denied receiving a target letter). So O'Donnell has no more inside info than we do. He's just speculating. People who speculate are sometimes right, and they're sometimes wrong.

Nothing that happens in this Grand Jury is confidential or secret, even if it should be.

It does sort of sound like a good hook. If I write the song, I will send you the first copy and give you writers credit. Fair enough?

Let's start thinking it's a worse case scenario. Because it's starting to look that way. I can tell from the article above that he's now a target.

Republican's should have played like clinton and attacked the special prosecutor [/just kidding].

Could this be the reason why W picked Miers just in case Rove or anyone else is indicted? That way there would not be two major political battles this large going on at the same time? No tin foil, just a thought.

I have a question - is the prosecutor a Democrat? Ever since Miller got out of jail and Fitzgerald (Fitzpatrick, whatever his name is) made a deal with her not to ask about her other sources (supposedly) I'm beginning to wonder if this is going to end up with an indictment of Rove. Yeah, yeah, I have my tinfoil hat on and maybe you need one to read this, but I started wondering at that point when nothing made any sense about why she would sit there for 3 months and suddenly just before his grand jury ran out, she would decide to testify. What if this is just another indictment like Delay's to get rid of Rove for the '06 election. The Dimwits are terrified of Rove. Most of this "corruption" crap is beginning to look like a playbook for the '06 election including the Dimbulbs having a Contract on American starting with HillaryCare. Looks like they are just borrowing Newt's from '94 and creating things to fill in the blanks.

The article says he did NOT receive a target letter.

Hard to prove, but you don't have to prove anything to bring an indictment. The only thing he's really got going for him is that the case is in NY. Better there than DC, though not much.
