"Fitzgerald sent correspondence to Rove's legal team making clear that there was no guarantee he wouldn't be indicted at a later point as required by the rules."

Is that not a "target letter"?

It was not a "not a Target" letter. But it was not a "Target" letter, either. IOW, if you're a target, the letter would say you are. This letter only says they cannot assure him that at a future time he won't be indicted.

You ask ....."Is that not a "target letter"?


I'm no expert in grand jury proceedings but when I read that I took it to mean it is required by the rules to tell people there is no guarantee they will not be indicted at a later time after testifying. Which to me makes sense to tell those who testify that. Otherwise, there wound never be anyone indicted who had appeared before a grand jury.

Does anyone versed in grand jury rules know about a 'rule' that is required pertaining to this?
