Miller may be indicted but I just heard that Wilson's lawyers will be speaking. Why would Wilson's Lawyer be speaking about the case when the charges aren't about the disclosure and Rove is still "under investigation"?

Bingo on Martha Stewart. With her, it was the coverup attempt as well as the lie that got her.

Not to mention that she was a licensed broker in a highly regulated industry and on the board of governors of the NYSE. She certainly new better.

It could be that Fitz is presenting Libby's (and maybe some others') indictments to the GJ to see if they will bite. Very strange to wait until the last minute to do this. It sounds almost as if he feels like he has to go and do something and is leaving it up to the GJ to decide.

There may be others (reporters) who are indicted, too. As much as I'd like to see Matt Cooper and Judith Miller do the perp walk, it's unseemly to indict someone for perjury for covering up a noncrime.

It could be that Fitz goes in front and basically gives a weak case to the GJ and says, "Indict if you want to."

But this is scary stuff. Somebody can gin up an investigation of any non-crime and get indictments on perjury just by asking enough questions about obscure conversations long in the past.

Is perjury hard to prove?.....isn't it like *he said, she said* type of deal?.......it would have to mean that Fitz takes the word of a reporter over Libby....grrrrrrrrrrr.

The plan was surely meant to kick Rove. Not too long ago, Bubba said: "If we could get rid of Rove, we could win the White House back".

Scooter needs a better picture for the screen. That looks like a mug shot.

Maybe Wilson's lawyer is going to call the SP a sham and a tool of the Bush Administration ?

""high-end game of GOTCHA"
It is suppose to be a lie about a MATERIAL FACT and INTENTIONAL and not a memory lapse. How the **** will he prove that?! Libby turned over HIS NOTES!"

Good point. If his intent was to deceive, he wouldn't have handed over the notes. Plus, as someone suggested earlier, it's possible that BOTH statements could be true, if he heard from someone in the press BEFORE he heard it from the VP. So... how could any reasonable SP and GJ interpret this as grounds to indict somebody?

Larry Johnson, former CIA operative, Valerie "FLAME" Plame Wilson co-worker, friend & LIAR and FORMER MSNBC analyst until they caught him and Joe Wilson lying (but won't admit it!). SUPREME JERK! Watch your keyboard or he WILL THREATEN TO SUE YOU if he doesn't like what you say about him! Nutjob extraordinare. This is the type of people running the CIA. There is no wonder they can't find WMD. They have a hard time finding their own butts.

Question is what is the next one after this.

Vaccination redux. One or two people die from the flu this year, and it's all Bush's fault. Again.

Yep, on Monday he is going on the Today show and Monday night will be on Dateline. He must have the same handlers Sheehan has.

Because Wilson is a left wing operation from top to bottom, and although no one has the nerve to fire his wife, it's hard to believe she isn't a total left wing kook as well, or she wouldn't have let Wilson go around lying in public the way he has.

Fitzgerald: Mr. Libby, what did you tell Mrs. Miller?

Libby: I said she needed more cowbell, baby!

Yea ... that is odd

The media is acting like the GJ has voted on the charges already

It sounds like they haven't ... and why did Fitz wait till the last minute?

It's possible that Wilson's lawyer pisses off Fitzgerald then Fitzgerald goes after Wilson, if he hasn't already.

Hillary ever go to Aspen. Is it a Dem Headquarters or meeting place or something like that. Do the Wilson's go to Aspen at the invitation of the Dems. I'm gonna google a bit.
