WASHINGTON — Top White House aide Karl Rove has been told by prosecutors he won't be charged with any crimes in the investigation into leak of a CIA officer's identity, his lawyer said Tuesday.

Attorney Robert Luskin said that special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald informed him of the decision on Monday, ending months of speculation about the fate of one of President Bush's closest advisers. Rove testified five times before a grand jury.

The bottom line is that no crime was committed.

The fact that this happens under such circumstances is a whole other issue.

Meanwhile, William Jefferson just rolls on!

DNC Chair Howard Dean: "If Karl Rove had been indicted it would have been for perjury. That does not excuse his real sin which is leaking the name of an intelligence operative during the time of war. He doesn't belong in the White House. If the President valued America more than he valued his connection to Karl Rove then Karl Rove would have been fired a long time ago. So I think this is probably good news for the White House, but its not very good news for America."

"It's not fair! We wanted him to be guilty. We wanted it and we wanted it now!"

What a bunch of blubbering crybabies.

Merry Fitzmas!

Must be a conspiracy. He's Karl Rove, there has to be some crime they can pin on him.

Has Dean called for a National Day of Mourning yet?

They obviously hooked an ammeter up, and it read OK. :)

And TRUTHOUT?

Maybe they should just change their name.

It always amazes me how the Left leaning always include the word Truth somehow in their title...very presumptuous.

eg: Truthout, An Inconvenient Truth etc..

Now they will say it's because he cooperated with the prosecutor because the left can't stand losing. Will Chrissy Mathews now go commit suicide since he staked his whole show on Rove getting indicted?

Heard the announcement on 'Old Drunken Bastard in the Morning' aka Imus - he observed, "Praise Jesus.' I think he also is relieved that this farce will be coming to an end.

This doesn't help Valerie Plame's book deal, which I heard is falling apart.
