A chorus of peepings emanating from the interior of the fever swamps of the Left may be heard tonight promising that Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald really will deliver the Xmas present found heading the list in every liberal’s letter to Santa: a grand jury indictment of Karl Rove for obstruction of justice in L’Affaire Plame.
Raw Story is reporting:
Short of a last minute intervention by Rove’s attorney, Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald is expected to ask a grand jury investigating the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson to indict Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove for making false statements to the FBI and Justice Department investigators in October 2003, lawyers close to the case say.

If I were George W. Bush, I would note that they have all been very bad this year, and I’d transform Fitzgerald’s Xmas gift into coal with a stroke of my pen by pardoning Karl Rove, Scooter Libby, and everyone and anyone connected to the non-existent crime. While, at the same time, I would announce the appointment of a new Special Counsel for the investigation of leaks pertaining to the conduct of the War on Terror, originating from groups of persons both active in, and retired from, the Intelligence Community.

And, as President, I would shift funding from the CIA (whom cannot be trusted) to the Military.

I vote for your solution, but since he could not bring himself to point a finger at Blanco, it’ll never happen.

I don’t think a pardon would be politically possible but if I were the Prez I’d sure be going after the leakers in the intelligence community. What I have never understood is why, if Wilson’s article caused a problem in the White House, didn’t the Prez have the head of the CIA on the carpet damanding that he sort it out? Like, ahem, didn’t this guy sign a non discosure agreement? If not. why not? Oh no, we’ll fix him – we’ll leak his wife’s name. The whole thing is baloney.
