It looks like truthout’s scoop won’t pan out
according to this wire service story:
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.Fitzgerald has already secured a criminal indictment against Vice
President
Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff, I. Lewis “Scooter”
Libby.
Dagnabbit. Rove’s brand of smarminess deserves some sort of indictment,
doesn’t it?
