ROVE "NOT A TARGET" OF CIA LEAK INVESTIGATION

National Review ^ | Byron York

[Erik Latranyi]

Joe Wilson leaked classified info to "hold the Administration accountable".

You see, when a liberal "leaks" to hurt a conservative, it is whistle-blowing.

When a conservative "leaks" to hurt a liberal, it is against the law.

And I bet the DUmmies are about ready to explode. Will not be a pretty site or sight!
They have been waiting and waiting to frog-march Rove. What great news.

[umgud]

Typical MSM distortion of the facts.

It's what they want to be true that matters, not what IS true.

[jennyjenny]

You should see the thread over there from Raw Story (I think) where they quote some article from a writer who said his "sources" close to the investigation said a target letter had been sent to Rove. Another poster questioned the credibility of the writer and got the crap beat out of him. One poster, I think it was Pitt, even said he had checked everything out before putting up the article on his site and everything was fine.

They're just so dang entertaining!

[nopardons]

Thanks for the ping.

This is going to drive the Wilsons et al, completely round the bend! LOL

My first thought is, "you can't believe a damn thing a lawyer says on TV".

My second thought is, "the truth changes".

But I do trust Byron York in whatever he writes, so just call me, uncharacteristically but cheerfully, cautious.

"For sure. One of these days the MSM is going to spin so quickly that they'll all explode. I look forward to that day."
Either that or spin out into outerspace.

[Krodg]

It means he'll keep trying.

[Gordongekko909]

Yeah, I saw the "target letter" threads and skipped over them. I wanted to see what the DUmmies were saying about this specifically.

[tiredoflaundry]

hehehehehehe

[ErnBatavia]

Matthews won't get even 1 news cycle out of this

Sure he will...he'll smirk and say "Karl Rove's attorney claims that Rove is not a target".

[STARWISE]

From the ever nauseating,

"Karl Rove's return to the grand jury today could mean the end of the Rove investigation or the beginning of the Rove prosecution. It depends on who asked Rove to return. If Fitzgerald asked Rove to return to the grand jury, that means Fitzgerald thinks he doesn't have enough for an indictment.

If Rove asked to return to the grand jury, that means Rove's lawyer, Bob Luskin, believes an indictment is imminent and is sending his client back to make a final desperate attempt to avoid indictment.

Luskin did this once before when he told Fitzgerald about the Viveca Novak connection, which is certainly going to be covered in Rove's testimony today. Luskin has experienced extreme mood swings in his willingness to talk to the press about this case. If a reporter can ask him one question today, it should be who asked Rove to return to the grand jury?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm also wondering what the bottomline is of this vague statement:

"Karl Rove appeared today before the grand jury investigating the disclosure of a CIA agent's identity. He testified voluntarily and unconditionally at the request of special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald to explore a matter raised since Mr. Rove's last appearance in October 2005. In connection with this appearance, the special counsel has advised Mr. Rove that he is not a target of the investigation. Mr. Fitzgerald has affirmed that he has made no decisions regarding charges. At the request of the special counsel, Mr. Rove will not discuss the substance of his testimony."

[Soul Seeker]

Still no Fitzmas? LOL!

[Howlin]

Scooter Ping - Rove Not A Target Ping!

I bet the DUmmies are FURIOUS!

[TC Rider]

The DUmmies at DU are all living DemNarnia, Fitzmas will never come.

[demkicker]

L/MSM are going to go into high gear on this one to come up with some off thw wall spin for the minions.

I won't celebrate until Fitz holds another news conference attacking the real villains in this trumped up bullshite circle jerk.

[eureka!]

"Still no Fitzmas? LOL!"

LOL is right. The DUmb*sses were wetting themselves on this today. Citing Olberman, they speculated that Rove asked to go back the the GJ to save himself. They are such a silly lot...

[nopardons]

I bet that heads are exploding, over at DU, right now. LOL

[cardinal4]

Libby who?..heh heh
