It may seem as though it's been moving along at a snail's pace, but the second part of the federal investigation into the leak of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson is nearly complete, with attorneys and government officials who have remained close to the probe saying that a grand jury will likely return an indictment against one or two senior Bush administration officials.
These sources work or worked at the State Department, the CIA and the National Security Council. Some of these sources are attorneys close to the case. They requested anonymity because they were not permitted to speak publicly about the details of the investigation
In lengthy interviews over the weekend and on Monday, they said that Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has started to prepare the paperwork to present to the grand jury seeking an indictment against White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove or National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley.
Although the situation remains fluid, it's possible, these sources said, that Fitzgerald may seek to indict both Rove and Hadley, charging them with perjury, obstruction of justice, and conspiracy related to their roles in the leak of Plame Wilson's identity and their effort to cover up their involvement following a Justice Department investigation...

So why were they?
And isn't that illegal..?
I do not think I can live through what will happen on FR if Rove is indicted. All of the trolls will be posting in force.
Pointless investigation into a non-crime.
Fitzgerald needs a real job.
Naturally, this comes right before the mid-term elections.
What a coincidence--NOT!

No problem.No new enrollees allowed until things die down.Any trolls who already have accounts get the usual treatment.I can't imagine that may "sleeper cells" being in place here.
Found this buried on their website:
We are a Public Non-profit Newspaper. Your donation is essential to our survival.
They are NOT a newspaper, as their name would infer...
I wouldn't get too excited about this yet. I checked the website at the link and the author's personal web site. This guy's a foaming moonbat, with about the same credibility level as Doug Thompson and CHB. Until it appears in a slightly more credible media outlet (like Fox), I'll call this yet another loon getting wish fulfillment mixed up with reality.
Fitzgerald is looking to hang someone to justify the money spent.
(( ping ))
You're suggesting that the people prosecuting alleged illegality should be allowed to break the law with impunity?
Fitzgerald has been out of the news for too long..he needs to do something to get some fresh publicity.
Jason Leopold`s reputation?
Less than stellar:
"A GNN investigation into the whole mess has revealed that Leopold has had trouble in the past producing verifiable sources"

That's exactly what I was wondering. Think I'll see....
