Rove To Testify in Plame Case

WITH NO GUARANTEE HE WON'T BE INDICTED LATER.

Oh the wonderful shivers going up my back.

Federal prosecutors have accepted an offer from presidential adviser Karl Rove to give 11th-hour testimony in the case of a CIA officer's leaked identity but have warned they cannot guarantee he won't be indicted, according to people directly familiar with the investigation.

The persons, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because of grand jury secrecy, said Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has not made any decision yet on whether to file criminal charges against the longtime confidant of
President Bush or others.

The U.S. attorney's manual requires prosecutors not to bring witnesses before a grand jury if there is a possibility of future criminal charges unless they are notified in advance that their grand jury testimony can be used against them in a later indictment.

Rove has already made at least three grand jury appearances and his return at this late stage in the investigation is unusual.

The prosecutor did not give Rove similar warnings before his earlier grand jury appearances.

I remember spending l-o-o-n-g lunch hours at the Bowl-o-Drome in Ewing Twp., N.J., eating pencil points and meatballs (cheap!), drinking draft (cheap!) and watching the Watergate Hearings!

“Just when Bush needs a big lift. Everybody run to daddy now.”

Translation:
This would be great if we get hit……
Human carnage; They’ll blame Bush.
That’ll will showem’
Shivers…..so exciting…..

You know how many people the Democrats force to vote against the Democratic Party rather than voting for who they want?
It’s a choice between corporate elitists or risking Hate Mongers in power.

Iggy you are wrong in so many ways. The most prominent being that you actually think I care what you write. Since you are so thick I will spell it out for you – Y-O-U A-R-E T-O B-E I-G-N-O-R-E-D. Get it? Got it? Good.

Thanks, Human. I read Iggy's post, scratched my head and said, "Wha-???"

I should have known better. Democrats are just traitors hoping that America goes down. Right. Same old same old.

Whatever happened to Republicans who, although they had different political philosophies, knew we were all together in this nation? It's okay to disagree, but there's no reason to be hateful about it.

I didn't really know how to interpret the whole third or fourth testimony's a charm thing. My original thinking was that rove finally came up with enough dirt on all of the interview team that he wanted to wiggle out of this one and thought of a creative and fun, albeit evil, way to do it in front of them.

I am still awaiting that fantastical day when Rove Libby Et. al. get their day in front of the paparazzi doing the perp walk in cuffs.
