Even if Rove later brought the memo in voluntarily, Fitzgerald could claim that he set back the investigation or only brought it in to cover himself.

And if that goes before a jury, Rove will skate.

I agree that Rove would skate. But if Fitzgerald plans to work with the MSM and the DNC--which I hope he doesn't--he could make a lot of trouble with a false indictment. These things take time to adjudicate, and in the meantime the MSM would be going after Bush hammer and tongs.

In the end, Fitzgerald and the MSM would damage themselves severely, because people are no longer in the mood to let them pull off another Watergate; but the administration could suffer in the meantime.
