Roll Call: Fitzgerald visited Rove's attorney Tuesday in leak case
RAW STORY

Appearing to jibe with a report in the Los Angeles Times Tuesday evening which asserted that Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald is turning his sights back to Bush's chief advisor, Karl Rove, Roll Call's Mary Ann Akers will report in Wednesday's editions that Fitzgerald was seen at Rove's lawyer's offices.

Rove is among numerous officials who have been questioned about whether they had a role in outing covert CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson, the wife of ardent Iraq intelligence critic Joseph Wilson.

According to Roll Call, Fitzgerald was spotted Tuesday at the law offices of Patton Boggs, the firm that employs Rove's lawyer Robert Luskin.

Though Akers says in her column she "heard about the visit from a well-placed source," Luskin refused to confirm "why or even whether Fitzgerald visited him."

Akers adds: "The rumor floating around Patton Boggs Tuesday was that there “may” be no indictments this week because Fitzgerald “may” need to seek an extension from the presiding judge to wrap up his investigation of Flamegate (or Plamegate for those of us who aren’t Judy Miller)."

Sources close to the investigation told RAW STORY Tuesday that indictments had already made their way to the grand jury in the case, and that others were in preparation.

Fitzgerald's agents also visited the Wilson's neighbors Monday, asking them whether they were aware that Valerie was a covert CIA agent, according to the L.A. Times and the Associated Press.

Rove, Akers asserts, "was spotted visiting his lawyer on Friday."

Anybody believe this BS

Good grief, if he can't figure it out in 2 years, close up shop and call it a day.

Fitzgerald's agents also visited the Wilson's neighbors Monday, asking them whether they were aware that Valerie was a covert CIA agent, according to the L.A. Times and the Associated Press.

From this Drudge story ("CIA leak investigators hold last-minute interviews"):

Two lawyers involved in the case said such questioning could indicated (sic) that prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald intended to charge administration officials for the leak itself, in addition to possible charges for easier-to-prove crimes like perjury and obstruction of justice.

How questioning of Plame's neighbors could lead to a conclusion like that is beyond me, except for the lawyers hoping for such an outcome and passing it on to a sympathetic reporter who himself believes all the hype ("so it just must be true!") and reports it.

In the middle of a Tuesday conference call announcing Infinity Broadcasting's plans to replace Howard Stern, a familiar voice appeared: Beetlejuice, the diminutive, snaggle-toothed fixture from the shock jock's nationally syndicated morning show.

This can not be good for Rove... the plot thickens!

Plame Investigation Is Not a 'Game'

Tuesday, January 18, 2005; Letters to the Editor -Page A16

In their Jan. 12 op-ed column ["The Plame Game: Was This a Crime?"] Victoria Toensing and Bruce W. Sanford misrepresented the scope of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, which certainly does cover former covert agents who remain at risk (along with their contacts) even after their covert operations end.

They also said that Valerie Plame's status was allegedly known on the "Washington cocktail circuit," implying that it was widely known that she worked as a covert agent for the CIA. But columnist Robert D. Novak has said that he learned of Ms. Plame's status through a leak by senior administration officials. Even I, Ms. Plame's lawyer and neighbor, was unaware of her status until Mr. Novak blew her cover.

African nations that produced uranium, including Niger, and had been ambassador to one of them, Gabon. In all, he served in seven African countries and as senior director for African affairs in the National Security Council under President Bill Clinton. His bona fides for the trip are spelled out in the report by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, which divulged that Mr. Wilson had traveled to Niger in 1999 at the request of the CIA to look into other uranium-related allegations.

The Plame investigation is not a "game." Reporters may need to be protected, but calling for a halt to the investigation into the leaking of Ms. Plame's identity to Robert Novak is not the way to do that.
