Fitzgerald will "give direction" on the investigation (UPDATE: Fitzgerald Press Conference at 2pm )

Per Fox News...

[VA40]

The reporter from the Washington Post just now on Fox looked so depressed I thought she was gonna cry.

[Dave S]

MSNBC is saying the Wilsons' lawyer will be making a statement today. Why the hell does anyone care what he thinks? Can I hope they are being indicted as well, pretty please?

Wilson is probably going to announce a civil lawsuit against Libby and Rove in an attempt to keep the story in the news.

Wilson being indicted probably has a probability of less than one percent. Not impossible, but pretty damn close.

[prairiebreeze]

So you know Libby? (I'm not disputing you, btw)

Can you hypothesize how he got in this fix?

[calreaganfan]

"Judith Miller said in her article that the aspen remark referred to a festival in Wyoming. A couple of years ago, she was there, and a cowboy rode up to her and said hello. When she didn't reply, he said, "It's me, Scooter. Don't you recognize me?"

But Libby wrote "Aspens" as in trees -- not "Aspen" the city in CO. Maybe "Aspens" is code for "Aspen" as in the place where their affair started.

[colorcountry]

I don't see any hidden agenda...

Out West the aspens DO turn in clusters BECAUSE their roots are connected. This is a fact....what the heck are we trying to read meaning into?

Acorns grow on oak trees....out west the pines are dying from a bark beetle infestation! This is ridiculous!

[GWB00]

didn't Judith Miller have a "relationship" with Lee Aspen, the dude who was Sec of Def under Clinton?

Not Lee, Les

[Mayflower Sister]

And this is all they could come up with after 2 *%*&ing years of investigation???

"Wilson is probably going to announce a civil lawsuit against Libby and Rove in an attempt to keep the story in the news."

That's very likely to happen, especially because it also keeps Wilson in the news.

Wilson is probably going to announce a civil lawsuit against Libby and Rove in an attempt to keep the story in the news.

I don't know if Wilson really wants to go that route. Everybody and their mom will be called in to testify in any trial involving these two men.

[traderrob6]

Fred Barnes on Fox just said the fact that nobody was indicted on the original reason for the investigation is a lot better for the WH.

[XEHRpa]

Wilson is probably going to announce a civil lawsuit against Libby and Rove in an attempt to keep the story in the news.

I hope Wilson announces "I am not guilty of these charges!"

[mystery-ak]

Of course she was depressed....this is a big defeat for the rats...they were after Rove for breaching National Security...all they are getting is Libby making a false statement intentionally/unintentionally to the GJ....no Fitzmas in ratville

[kcvl]

A relationship does seem the only thing that makes sense though.

That was my thinking also. After all she "dated" many high powered men while "reporting" for the NYTs . In other words, she was sleeping with her "sources". Who knows if it's the truth?!

I've got a fever baby, and the only prescription is... More Cowbell!

[calreaganfan]

"Out West the aspens DO turn in clusters BECAUSE their roots are connected. This is a fact....what the heck are we trying to read meaning into?"

The question is why would Libby write such a note to Miller in jail. The wording in the note implies more than a journalist/source relationship.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

We're all pretty much in the dark here. Most of what we hear is media wishful thinking. Just some thoughts.

It was almost certain that someone in the Bush Administration was going to be indicted. The left demanded it.

The world does not revolve around Valerie Plame. If I was a Beltway player, I have a great memory but would be hard pressed to accurately remember where I first heard something that was common knowledge inside Washington, and a minor point at that.

[Mo1]

I didn't hear that part

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Maybe he lied about sex with Miller. Hope so, no crime, no time.

Wouldn't that be funny...let's see how the dems would spin that one!
