The Rove Watch Continues
It's been widely reported, including here, that indicting Karl Rove is on Patrick Fitzgerald's to do list for this week. I guess Fitzgerald is running a bit behind today because nothing has happened yet. Over at Salon Tim Grieve at the War Room sniffed around and found no news, so he contacted truthout.org, the original source for the story, and found them cranky but defiant. They're sticking with their story that Rove will be indicted very soon, although they neglected to specify which day. Truthout's Marc Ash told Grieve, "we're all stuck waiting here. Grab some coffee."
Supposedly, Fitzgerald works according to a pattern that begins with a notification of the Attorney General and ends with an announcement a week later. Just like in the Libby case, last Friday Alberto Gonzales was brought before the grand jury and formally notified of the jury's intent to bring charges against Rove. I don't know who's keeping tabs on Gonzales' appointment calendar, but that's the report.
For its part, truthout. org says, "We have been contacted by at least three reporters from mainstream media - network level organizations - who shared with us off-the-record confirmation and moral support. When we asked why they were not going public with this information, in each case they expressed frustration with superiors who would not allow it."
So we wait. Something's bound to happen eventually.
