Friday, October 28, 2005 NYTimes, LATimes & WAPost Differ on Fitzmas NYTimes: "Lawyers expected Libby to be indicted on Fri, charged w/ making false statements to the grand jury. Rove will not be charged on Fri, but will remain under investigation, people briefed officially about the case said. As a result, they said, Fitzgerald, was likely to extend the term of the federal grand jury beyond its scheduled expiration on Friday. OK... As the LATimes reports: ""People close to the investigation said that, as of late Thurs afternoon, Rove had received no notice that he was going to be indicted. Some observers took that as a sign that the longtime Bush strategist might emerge from the investigation without being charged. But others said that Fitz might be waiting until Fri to alert those being charged to reduce the chances of last-minute leaks about his intentions." And then... there is this from the WashPost: Though there was considerable speculation among lawyers for witnesses in the case that Fitz could choose to empanel a new grand jury and extend his investigation, 2 legal sources said he has indicated he does not plan to take that route and will wrap up the case today. WTF?? I don't know what the hell is gonna happen, but dammit... we have waited way too long and gathered too much damning info to just see it pissed away now. I want the trophy GOPers indicted... ya know... the architects of this cluster fuck called the Iraq War... The BIG chickenhawks. |
