Oh when the frogs, come marching home
Jason Leopold reports that Fitzgerald to Seek Indictment of Rove:
I'm actually hoping that this drags out 3 weeks so that the indictment is handed down the day before my birthday. Now that would be a birthday present to remember!
Luskin was informed via a target letter that Fitzgerald is prepared to charge Rove for perjury and lying to investigators during Rove’s appearances before the grand jury in 2004 and in interviews with investigators in 2003 when he was asked how and when he discovered that Valerie Plame Wilson worked for the CIA, and whether he shared that information with the media.Luskin is usually more than willing to spin for the press. His silence on this matter speaks volumes.
If the grand jury returns an indictment Rove would become the second White House official - and one of the most powerful political operatives in the country - charged in the case since the leak investigation began in the fall of 2003.
In the event that an indictment is handed up by the grand jury it would be filed under seal. A press release would then be issued by Fitzgerald’s press office indicating that the special prosecutor will hold a news conference, likely on a Friday afternoon, sources close to the case said. The media would be given more than 24 hours notice of a press conference, sources added.
Luskin was at his office when called for comment but his assistant said he would not take the call or comment on this story.
