Fitzgerald will "give direction" on the investigation (UPDATE: Fitzgerald Press Conference at 2pm )

[kcvl]

Per Fox News...

[kcvl]

Rove will not be indicted today according to Carl Cameron, Fox News.

[Alia]

"give direction"? What's that mean?

[hawkaw]

Really ... direction. That means we aren't at the end?

[Crawdad]

Cecil B. de Mille

[kcvl]

Probably that he is extending the investigation for two more months so that he can indict Karl Rove since he has only had TWO YEARS! /sarcasm

[Mo1]

I just heard ... what exactly does give direction mean

[.cnI redruM]

No book deal yet, Fitzgerald needs a new grand jury.

[irons_player]

This guy couldn't point you in the right direction on a 1-way street.

[ReaganRevolution]

Exactly. Because Scooter wasn't the target, the name of the game is get Karl Rove.

[woofie]

I think its headed south

[Mo1]

Statement due shortly from Rove's attorney

[kcvl]

With the grand jury he's got now I don't understand how he can't get an indictment on anyone who is a Republican. Rove will make a statement today.

[Beckwith]

what exactly does give direction mean

"Quiet on the set. Action."

[Mo1]

Ping

[RangerM]

I don't know what it means, but at least it may get the MSM off the subject for more that 30 seconds per hour. I am sick of the whole thing.

Fitzy, either charge him/them or move on!

[Erik Latranyi]

Rove's Attorney will be making a statement shortly....per Fox News Channel.

Could be that Rove is completely clear and Fitzgerald is not seeking an extension of the investigation into Rove.

Doesn't mean he will not extend the investigation in Libby or hand down and indictment in less than an hour against Libby.

[Alia]

Has Fitzgerald got his book publisher lined up already? Is there another "deep throat" waiting in the wings? lol!

[AmericaUnited]

This statement would then be before the grand jury meeting. Hmmm? Of course, that meeting may be pure BS as has been 99.999 of what's been reported.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Beat me to it! Thanks for the ping. :)

[Bird Jenkins]

Does this mean we'll stop seeing FReeper samadams2000's cryptic R-U-S-S-E-R-T posts?

[Brooklyn Kid]

[tarzantheapeman]

Any practicing prosecutors out there? Is this common?

[tiredoflaundry]

Thanks for the ping. Does this mean "Fitzmas" is not coming this year??

[hawkaw]

I'm surprised Rove's attorney is making a statement. This is really going to be an interesting hour.

[Mo1]

Since the libs have been trying to take down Rove for 5 years now

I'd say nope

[Erik Latranyi]

I'm betting Fitzgerald extends the investigation to include Joseph & Valerie Wilson!

[Alia]

I am sick of the whole thing.

It is rather pathetic, isn't it. On the bright side, Fitzy IS helping to keep the MSM with something to buzz about besides their usual anti-Bush, anti-WOT blather.

[woofie]

The Aspens are due East

[Tulsa Ramjet]

lol. exactly.

[Sybeck1]

Whats the DU moonbats saying? Anyone?

[BigSkyFreeper]

"For the time being", as per the media wing of the DNC (read: Associated Press). That implies that the MSM wants Rove to be indicted.

[Mo1]

This statement would then be before the grand jury meeting. Hmmm?

I forgot about that .... you have a point

[kcvl]

Someone on Fox & Friends says that Rove (or his attorney) wouldn't be saying anything if he was going to still be under investigation which makes sense. You don't want to **** off the out of control prosecutor.

[.cnI redruM]

That's what I hate about Lawrence Walsh, Ken Starr, Fitzmas and all the other 'independent councils'. We all know someone has to go down hard. It doesn't matter what the law says, and for all I know 'Scooter' could be a soul-sucking jerk.

It's just that I think the political right and the political left have politically, not legally or judicially, but legally fought to a standstill. 'Scooter' going to the can is the armistice. It has nothing to do with justice here.

[defenderSD]

Yes, it's way past time to wrap up this investigation and take any indictments and all the evidence to the courts and the people. Either dismiss any indictments or go to trial rapidly and get everyone to testify under oath with full disclosure of testimony to the public: Put Wilson, Plame, Novak, Miller, Russert, Cooper, CIA officials, and the Bush people under oath and get to the bottom of what happened here. Then let the juries and the American people decide. I'm tired of all the secrecy, endless investigation, deception, and the MSM's propaganda by leak campaigns.

[BigSkyFreeper]

You don't want to **** off the out of control prosecutor.

Why not? The Special Prosecutor has managed to **** off everyone else on the right for two years now.

[kcvl]

lol!

[Erik Latranyi]

I'm surprised Rove's attorney is making a statement. This is really going to be an interesting hour.

It means Rove is in the clear.

[Toespi]

LOL! But so true and sure wish you could ask him that, because no one else will.

[Mo1]

It's just that I think the political right and the political left have politically, not legally or judicially, but legally fought to a standstill. 'Scooter' going to the can is the armistice. It has nothing to do with justice here.

If Scooter is indicted ... he will get a trial before there is any talk of jail time

[BigSkyFreeper]

My wet dream is to see Fitzgerald get "Cheney'd", and told what he can go do to himself.

[hawkaw]

I am thinking so. It makes sense seeing his lawyer previously indicated the Rove was not a target".

I hope the best for Libby.

[TheRobb7]

Would that include the letter "F"????

[BigSkyFreeper]

Yup.

[Arrowhead1952]

Fitzgerald needs a new grand jury.

Sounds like ronnie earle here in Austin may be able to help him with that task.

[kcvl]

Libby should hire Victoria Toensing since she wrote the law. lol! I'm sure he will be well taken care of with any attorney that he wants (or he had better be!). I hope Fitz has something besides not remembering something in the GJ by Libby or else he might as well shut it down.

[wagglebee]

No book deal yet, Fitzgerald needs a new grand jury.

He and Dan Ratherbiased are working to schedule a full hour on "60 Minutes" to make the announcement there, but they need to find a Kinko's where nobody will notice them so they can get the "documents" ready.

[kellynla]

Two years and another million dollars down the rat hole. Investigating whether some desk jockey at CIA was "outed?" RIDICULOUS! Valerie Plame was no more a "covert agent" than my cat! The Cisneros investigation has only been going on for ten friggin' years now...these "special counsels" are a JOKE!

Bottom line: if you are ever subpoenaed to appear before a Grand Jury, sell the house, pack up the wife and kids and get the hell out of the country 'cause a GJ can indict anyone for anything!

[Jalapeno]

Wouldn't it be great if he chastised the media for all of their speculation...
