Countdown to Rove Indictments...

MM indicted and convicted Cynthia McKinney without "seeing the evidence" but she is black, a woman and a Democrat. Of course, Republican white men are judged by a different standard. If Rove gets indicted and convicted and appeals, he will want to to wait to see if he wins his appeal.

MM- If he's found out to have done something illegal, would you want Rove indicted and convicted?

Yes,I would.
ANYBODY,including the President,that is found to have broken the law should be indicted and punished if convicted.

How did I indict and convict Cynthia McKinney?
I posted the news story about her,and said that IF she was convicted,she should get the maximum sentence.
Notice the IF.
You seem to be ignoring that part.

He will have every right to appeal a conviction,if he gets convicted of committing a crime.
Are you saying that he shouldnt have that right.
And if he did win a hypothetical appeal,that erases the conviction.

Try some valium. It is not a sleep aid as such but my surgeon prescribed it the night before my surgery and I took one and fell right out.

Of course, even the totally clueless would understand that each day that goes by that Rove is not cleared makes it more likely that he will be indicted.

Fitzgerald didn't check with me to make sure his timetable coincides with mine.

OR,Every day that goes by without an indictment makes it more likely that Rove will be cleared.

Both scenarios are equally valid.

No they are not but it is useless explaining that to you.

Anyway, I decided to do some more research. Many Dem bloggers are questioning Leopold's credibility. I heard him a couple times on Air America and he sounded convincing to me.

If there is no announcement this week, I will start having doubts myself. Knowing Karl Rove's past, I wouldn't put it past him to leak a false story to Leopold in ordeer to destroy his credibilty.

Anyway, the clueless right is welcome to spam the thread with "still waiting" posts but the facts will come out soon enough. And the fact is that Rove made one last ditch effort to clear himself weeks ago. A fair-minded prosecutor like Fitzgerald will notify a possible target that he is cleared as soon as that determination is made. Obvioulsy, Fitzpatrick is leaning toward indictment because he certainly would have cleared Rove by now if that weren't the case.

Leopold has said that he will reveal his sources if it turns out they lied to him; there isn't much more you can ask a reporter to do than that.

So either way, this is going to be really interesting.

Interesting indeed:

Statement from Christopher Wolf, attorney for outed CIA officer Valerie Plame Wilson

RAW STORY
Published: Tuesday June 13, 2006

Statement of Christopher Wolf, Proskauer Rose LLP, Counsel for Ambassador Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame Wilson

"We have become aware of the communication between Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Luskin concerning Karl. Rove's status in the criminal investigation. We have no first-hand knowledge of the reason for the communication or what further developments in the criminal investigation it may signal. While it appears that Mr. Rove will not be called to answer in criminal court for his participation in the wrongful disclosure of Valerie Wilson's classified employment status at the CIA in retaliation against Joe Wilson for questioning the rationale for war in Iraq, that obviously does not end the matter. The day still may come when Mr. Rove and others are called to account in a court of law for their attacks on the Wilsons."

Did Rove rat out Cheney?

From Fox News story:
"The fact is this, I thought it was wrong when you had people like Howard Dean and (Sen.) Harry Reid presuming that he was guilty," Republican Party Chairman Ken Mehlman told FOX News.

"This is an enormous burden lifted off his shoulders. He always believed that he was totally innocent and that nothing would happen," former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich said of Rove.

Gingrich added that Rove's situation shows that something is wrong with the current legal system.

"There's something wrong when your entire life can be under this kind of threat for two full years, you spend lots and lots of money on lawyers, lots of time going to the grand jury and there's nothing there," Gingrich said."

Amen.

Fitzgerald first needed to determine if the original theorized crime of somebody knowingly leaking the identity of a covert CIA agent actually occurred before carrying on this long drawn out investigation in the first place. As far as I can tell, he has never even accomplished that yet after all this time. Fitzgerald is not making much of a name for himself here. I'm not very impressed.

Guess we can stop the countdown now, huh?
