Has anyone seen Karl Rove lately?
All this activity at the White House surrounding Harriet Miers and not one appearance from Karl.
Why, it's almost as if they think he's about to be INDICTED or something!
Has anyone seen Karl lately? I dunno about you, but I'M WORRIED!

Whispers from Washington now say Karl is not just the target of the Fitzgerald investigation.
He's the bull's eye.

I just assumed they had to recharge him and couldn't find a suitable working outlet down in ol' Nawlins and so they had him shipped on over to Houston.

Rumor is the indictments--MANY!--will come down late Friday afternoon. The Sunday morning shout matches ought to be fun.
And I promise: I WILL NOT POST THE CRYING BABY PICTURE!
(But Jrby may!)

Posted: 10/5/05 at 9:56pmI think I might have read somewhere that it's going to be 22 indictments. Or maybe it was just a dream? Either way, that's a LOT of indictments.
#11re: Where's Karl?
Posted: 10/5/05 at 10:05pmI head 22 too. But it's hard to know at this point which rumors are just rumors.

Posted: 10/5/05 at 10:18pmLike the completely unfounded rumor that DeLay was going to be indicted and would step down as Speaker?

Exactly. That's the difference between conservative rumors and liberal rumors: Republican rumors are character assassination that prove to be unfounded. Democratic rumors prove to be true.
The current rumor is that Rove has been told. So Bush and Cheney know. There's nothing they can do to stop Friday's 22 indictments.
I LOVE THIS!!!

If Karl is indicted, I'm calling Jeff Gannon and ordering up the Change-of-Pants Special!
And sending it to Oh-heee-oh!

Is it tomorrow, as is posted elsewhere, or Friday, PJ? Those 22?
Rumor has it, as you above all others have warned us, we're into ALL THE .... MEN. The throats are deep enough.

Bigger than Watergate, smaller than Watergate--it really doesn't matter at this point.
The Bush White House will be enshrined in history as The Most Corrupt Regime in American History, the Shame of the Nation.
And those of us who have been scapegoated and dehumanized by these unprincipled men (and women) have every right to gloat.
And those who voted for them and supported them will carry those votes to their graves in shame.
(But no crying babies!)

US officials brace for decisions in CIA leak case
Wed Oct 5, 9:07 PM ET REUTERS
The federal prosecutor investigating who leaked the identity of a CIA operative is expected to signal within days whether he intends to bring indictments in the case, legal sources close to the investigation said on Wednesday.
As a first step, prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald was expected to notify officials by letter if they have become targets, said the lawyers, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
Fitzgerald could announce plea agreements, bring indictments, or conclude that no crime was committed. By the end of this month he is expected to wrap up his nearly two-year-old investigation into who leaked CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity.
The inquiry has ensnared President George W. Bush's top political adviser, Karl Rove, and Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby. The White House had long maintained that Rove and Libby had nothing to do with the leak but reporters have since named them as sources.
Rove's attorney, Robert Luskin, declined to say whether his client had been contacted by Fitzgerald. In the past, Luskin has said that Rove was assured that he was not a target.
Libby's lawyer was not immediately available to comment.
"It's an ongoing investigation and we're fully cooperating," said Cheney spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride.
The outcome of the investigation could shake up an administration already reeling from criticism over its response to Hurricane Katrina and the indictment of House Republican leader Tom DeLay on a conspiracy charge related to campaign financing.
New York Times reporter Judith Miller testified to the grand jury on Friday about the conversations she had with Libby.
Plame's diplomat husband, Joseph Wilson, has accused the administration of leaking her name, damaging her ability to work undercover, to get back at him for criticizing Bush's Iraq policy.
Fitzgerald's agreement to limit the scope of Miller's testimony to her conversations with Libby -- a proposal he rejected a year earlier -- suggested that Libby had become "the focus of interest," said one of the lawyers involved in the case.
After initially promising to fire anyone found to have leaked information in the case, Bush in July offered a more qualified pledge: "If someone committed a crime they will no longer work in my administration."
