Joe Wilson has been quoted as saying the SP called him after Rove's last appearance before the Grand Jury. He did not reveal the purpose of the call. Ftiz began what was seen as a last minute blitz in Joe's neighborhood to learn what neighborhoods knew about Valerie's employment. He was also reported to have gone to Luskin's office. As many legal minds have pointed out, if Fitz had the goods on Rove, Luskin would be in Fitzgerald's office.

Background and historical facts aside, so much of the actions of Fitzgerald before the 28th do not make sense.

Why would he call Wilson if Rove's testimony focused on Rove's conversations with Cooper?

IIRC, Rove requested the last appearance to correct the record regarding his testimony regarding Cooper. So why the need to call Joe? Did Joe make a remark to someone regarding this whole affair and that remark was conveyed to Rove?

Perhaps at church? I read yesterday that Wilson and Rove attend the same church. In the DC area, I would think most churches are attended by some of the movers and shakers in DC. If Rove and Wilson did indeed atttend the same church, they must have many mutual friends from that church. Was it common knowledge at the church that Valerie was CIA? Their wives may have had mutual friends. Valerie is also involved in a support group for Post-Partum Depression. Was something revealed in group?

Maybe Fitzgerald's decision to indict Rove was thwarted by information given to Rove. Information which would expose Wilson and his wife in a big way. Information which Rove may not have wanted to reveal unless necesary; a promise to a friend for example. Luskin may have been aware of something like this but chose to save it until he knew the intentions of Fitzgerald.

I don't know the answers to any of these questions. Just chewing the fat, so to speak.

Wilson is desperately trying to keep the focus on Karl Rove and get him indicted. It's the whole shooting match for him. If Rove is cleared, even if Libby is convicted, Joe Wilson slowly sinks into oblivion. But if Rove is indicted, Joe Wilson becomes a permanent God in liberal circles, confirming his own inflated opinion of himself, guaranteeing him fat speaking fees and book sales, and justifying all the lies he told and his own ruination of his wife's career.

I believe he is simply lying about Fitzgerald calling him the day after Rove testified. That is just too convenient and makes no sense, except that his blabbing about it to the media kept them focused on Rove. He goes on Larry King this week and makes a point, apropos of nothing, to say that Karl Rove goes to his church, implying that of course he knew who his wife was. Why mention this now when nothing has implicated Rove?
