He should have called this presser quits 15 minutes ago.

I was right about this guy...he THINKS something was done that was wrong, but he DOESN'T have a law that lets him prosecute anyone...he wants to keep "investigating" so he can keep trying to come up with some way to prosecute Rove and Libby for the actual "leak." I'm guessing he went back to the GJ this morning with the info the FBI got this week from Wilson's neighbors, but it wasn't enough to convince the GJ that Plame was indeed "covert" under the law.

I think he also believes that Libby deliberately made up a "cover story" that he simply told reporters what other reporters told him, in order to evade prosecution for the actual leak. He couldn't prove that to the GJ either. All he could prove was that Libby said one thing and Russert and Cooper said something else. That's enough to get an indictment, but I'm not sure it is enough to get a conviction.

I'm so confused! Will someone please explain to me why this was an investigation in the first place if Valerie wasn't "covert"?!!! Wasn't that the reason for this investigation?!
