Miller in Jail, Copper to testify whats the next step in Rovegate?

[The Doctor.]

1. It depends on what Fitzgerald really wants...

And it depends on whether or not a crime was committed.

Sure - the outing of VP cost the US a valuable CIA asset and loads of intelligence for fighting actual terrorism, but if Rove can snake around the letter of the law, it could be a rub.

3. I think Rove is more likely

to face perjury or obstruction charges.

[The Doctor.]

4. I'm with you... I see it coming b/c of the way Luskin

is setting up his arguments.

And then he'll get the bare minimum slap on the wrists... and a pardon from Jeb later.

(Or whoever the machines choose)

[elperromagico]

10. Shrub could pardon him on the way out the door.

I wonder if a Rove pardon would get the same media attention as Clinton's pardon of Marc Rich...

Never mind.

2. here's a little nugget

Something I'm not sure that's been published here.

"The sentencing of Judith Miller to jail for refusing to disclose her sources is the direct result of the culture of unaccountability that infects the Bush White House from top to bottom. President Bush's refusal to enforce his own call for full cooperation with the Special Counsel has brought us to this point. Clearly, the conspiracy to cover up the web of lies that underpinned the invasion of Iraq is more important to the White House than coming clean on a serious breach of national security. Thus has Ms Miller joined my wife, Valerie, and her twenty years of service to this nation as collateral damage in the smear campaign launched when I had the temerity to challenge the President on his assertion that Iraq had attempted to purchase uranium yellowcake from Africa."

5. Indictments, that's what's next,...

and lots of 'em!

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

6. An then, in an orgy of brazen behavior and shamelessness...

Pretzeldential pardons. By the hundredweight.

[Hepburn]

7. Rove is indicted....

...and names his source(s).

(We can at least pray that this is what happens!)

[whalerider55]

9. yup...

himmler, donald segretti, chuck colson, lee atwater, dick nixon, joseph mccarthy....

a veritable parade of uglies and detritus.
