Struggling to remain optimistic but I fear that Rove is escaping the noose

Please no!!!

1. you don't know that, wait for Fitzgerald---please.

4. Time is running out.

The Grand Jury expires today.

[carolinalady]

5. New grand jury. Plenty of time. n/t

[HereSince1628]

10. And it is now less than 100 minutes to the release of the papers

that Fitzgerald has prepared for the public.

Very Very little time.

2. It's difficult but...be patient! This is just the beginning. n/t

[Norquist Nemesis]

3. He's probably trying to cut a deal

In the end, he may not be indicted...because he'll plead for a lesser charge in order to testify against someone else.

6. It's like coming down on Fitzmas morning

and only getting clothes and books.

[Stevendsmith]

8. Precisely. (n/t)

[MadisonProgressive]

9. I gave my EX-wife a vaccum cleaner for her birthday

That didn't go over as well as I'd expected!

[HereSince1628]

7. Rove is working a deal. We get bigger fish if Rove succeeds

[WA98296]

11. Try to have some faith here, Fitz has been working on this for two years

and I don't think with that much of his lifetime wrapped up in this that he is going to let anyone off.

[Stevendsmith]

13. The headlines say: "Rove will Not Be Indicted Today"

Yes, I realize that "Today" is the key word, but it's a tough pill to swallow!

12. Justice Moves Slowly

Everyone expects a Perry Mason moment here. Sorry...real life isn't so episodical.

Fitzgerald is conducting a careful and thorough investigation. This doesn't come together like some script where all the conspiracies and participants fit into easily defined roles. If anything, the deeper he looks, the more confusing things are that need to be straightened out. Look at how conspiracy games play out on here...the longer they hang out there, the more cobwebs they grow.

I've pointed out that Miller's notebook seems to have kicked this investigation back into action. That was the first real new evidence in this case as was her testimony (or non-testimony) along with that of Cooper.

What Dr. Fitzgerald appears to be offering patient Rove is a diagnoisis that the nasty cough Karl has could be cancer, but the X-Rays are inconclusive...he needs to do more tests.

14. Leaves him twisting in the wind

That is a horror house location for Rove, who wanted to smirk with pleasure today.

He is not off clean.

This may work in a better way in the long run.

Bush should get him out of the WH now, but he won't.
