10/26/2005 | Myself

[TXBSAFH]

Scooter maybe

Rove no

[nuffsenuff]

I'm going for a long shot:

Wilson and / or Plame are in the mix.

[1Old Pro]

I predict 2 indictments.

[Red Badger]

WILSON, MILLER and the former CIA director........

[jw777]

NYT's is smearing Miller. Must be someone not in the Bush Admin. My take.

[brivette]

No indictments. Period.

[RWR8189]

I pretty much agree with you.

Libby gets indicted, then acquitted.

Rove doesn't gets indicted.

[Fury]

I predict I am ordering a Cripsy Strips Meal at KFC - and will eat the said meal. The KFC in the town I work in is closing :(

[ReaganRevolution]

Goes for Scooter because he can't nail Rove. Scooter will be found not guilty.

[Perdogg]

Libby - no bill sought, too hard

Rove - no bill sought, too hard

Wilson - one count perjury
one count, conspiracy to obstruct justice

plame - one count, conspiracy to obstruct justice
one count, hatch act

[tdewey10]

Joe Wilson.

[kjam22]

This is going to be the Martha Stewart thing. Nobody indicted for leaking information. Rove indicted for giving false information. They'll never prove it... but that's irrelevant. They just want something to do.

[spycatcher]

Wilson and Plame indicted for espionage. Scooter Libby and Karl Rove nominated for Congressional Medal of Freedom.

[kabar]

Libby and Miller

[Howlin]

Fitzgerald is doing entirely too much "outside work" this week to have this thing wrapped up.

Somethings not right.

[rhombus]

You're dreaming but I like your dreams and it makes the most sense.

[RexBeach]

I think Sacco and Vanzetti are in a lot of trouble./scar

Here's a prediction that I posted earlier . . .

My prediction is that nobody is going to be indicted, even if the prosecutor thinks he can make a good case that some kind of crime had been committed.

Because of the role that the CIA played in this case, it would be impossible for any defendant to mount a defense without forcing the disclosure of top-secret information and/or the potential exposure of additional CIA personnel. This inherent dilemma would likely result in a judge throwing out the charges in a criminal court down the road.

If someone were indicted in this case and they went to trial, their defense lawyer would submit a list of witnesses that included a lot of CIA personnel -- possibly covert. He could also subpoena all kinds of CIA information that would be considered classified. Once the CIA determines that none of this information could be shared with the court due to "national security concerns," the case would have to be thrown out of court because someone accused of a crime cannot be put in a position where he can't mount a legitimate defense.
