MSNBC reports Rove believes he is in legal jeopardy

http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/MSNBC_reports_Rove_believes_he_in_0427.html

Rawstory - Thursday 8/27

Karl Rove has described his three and a half hour fifth meeting with a grand jury as "hell," and is more worried about being prosecuted than ever, MSNBC is reporting.

The three and a half hour duration is considered highly unusual for a fifth appearance before a grand jury, MSNBC's David Schuster reported. Schuster will be giving an updated report at 7pm EST.

Also not boding well for Rove is the fact that the grand jury plans to meet tomorrow. Some are speculating that an indictment for Rove may come in tomorrow, though others have claimed such a turnaround time is unlikely.


More later

P.S. You just know he was the one! remember this article from the NY times--

'92 election in TX & the other leak to Novak!!! and fired over it by Bush Sr.

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/06/politics/06novak.html?ex=1280980800&en=82fbc90a181e61d6&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss

For those who don't remember... the incident was this---

Wikipedia on Rove
1992 George H. W. Bush presidential campaign
"Sources close to the former president George H.W. Bush say Rove was fired from the 1992 Bush presidential campaign after he planted a negative story with columnist Robert Novak about dissatisfaction with campaign fundraising chief and Bush loyalist Robert Mosbacher Jr. It was smoked out, and he was summarily ousted" (Esquire Magazine, January 2003). Robert Novak provided some evidence of motive in his column describing the firing of Mosbacher by former Senator Phil Gramm: "Also attending the session was political consultant Karl Rove, who had been shoved aside by Mosbacher." Novak and Rove deny that Rove was the leaker, but Mosbacher maintains that "Rove is the only one with a motive to leak this. We let him go. I still believe he did it." <27> (Sources: "Karl and Bob: a leaky history," Houston Chronicle, Nov. 7, 2003; "Genius," Texas Monthly, March 2003, p. 82; "Why Are These Men Laughing," Esquire, January 2003.)

12. knr! I so despise that evil, lying, harmful (I can't even bring myself

call him HUMAN, and I don't want to insult animals like pig, serpent, etc.)BEAST, I hope he rots in jail.

[Peace Patriot]

13. It's possible he's squealing in order to AVOID indictment. Stay tuned.

If he does get indicted, I suspect there will be a collective sign of relief in Republican Congressional campaign offices around the country. In Rove's recent demotion, Bush gave him the job of running their campaigns!

:rofl:

[worldgonekrazy]

47. FIVE times in front the grand jury? He isn't just talking about himself

Every time someone goes before the grand jury, they risk perjuring themselves, especially when they are caught in a tangled web of lies as Rove is. Each subsequent appearance in front of a grand jury causes that risk to rise exponentially. So Rove's lawyers would not let him go in front of the grand jury five times unless they thought it was somehow beneficial to him. How could it be beneficial? Perhaps his lawyers really do believe he can "set the record straight," but I doubt they are anywhere near that stupid. I suspect that instead they are hoping Rove can win some favors by rolling on others, perhaps the Vice President even.

14. To paraphrase:

Ding Dong! The Witch is dead.
Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.
Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead.

She's gone where the goblins go,
Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out.

Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
The Wicked Witch is dead!

[displacedtexan]

15. I think it's...

Let's all join hands and sing and ring the bells out.

Why do I think that? Hm. Now I'll have to look it up.

Thanks, ewagner. You're on my earworm list now!

[durtee librul]

22. I love the tweedles....

Kinda reminds me of W,Cheney and Rove! The smirk on the first one sure looks like chimpy boy.....the FAT one in the middle looks to be the oldest which would be Cheney.....and the one in the dark shirt looks worried as hell! LOL!!!!!!

[Mr_Scarecrow]

59. hope lives

Dorothy, just by daring to dream, killed the evil witch. We, too, dare to dream.

[ewagner]

61. Beautifully stated

thank you!

[alarcojon]

16. I won't get my hopes up until I see an actual indictment

but may that sack of shit sweat it out to the max.

[fishnfla]

17. Now we know why Scotty resigned

call his ass in there. Rove lied to him too

[MADem]

20. I think it is why ARI resigned, too--he smelled the stink early on and

ran like hell, while he was still EMPLOYABLE and could develop a reputation at his next job, before the shit hit the fan!

[NJCher]

49. so what does that say about Tony Snow?

That he signs up when the Titanic is about to gulp it's last air bubble?




Cher

[MADem]

58. Honestly?

I think it says that Tony wants to be close to the seat of power. He had a taste under Bush the Former, and he thinks he can change history. He wants those last few gasping years of this nightmare administration, to do the following:

**Gather material for his book, which he is convinced will be a bigger bestseller than THE FINAL DAYS.

**Use his artful powers of persuasion, his collegiality, and his many contacts to "save" the Bush Pretzelduncy, all by himself--because, see, he's SMARTER than everyone else! He's a media superhero!!! He believes that if that hubris-laden Monkey listens to HIM, instead of all those evil people around him, that he can turn the Titanic away from the iceberg and save the day!

That's really why I think he took the job. The wake-up call is gonna be ugly. He signed up to be savior, but the job description is scrubbing toilets.

The book may be more interesting than he presently realizes, but for other reasons--assuming he gives it all up and tells the truth at the end of the day!!

[megatherium]

60. Scotty resigned so he could spend more time lying for his family.

According to Leno (or was it Letterman?).

[Stevendsmith]

18. Does anyone know how long it takes to write up an indictment?

If the indictment isn't already prepared, wouldn't it take some time to compose?

Please let tomorrow be FITZY FRIDAY!!!!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

28. There's templates for this stuff.

It could be punched out in a few hours.
"i" dotting and "t" crossing takes longer.
Realistically, a few days.

[Stevendsmith]

33. Let's hope Fitz and staff are burning the midnight oil

You know, ordering pizzas or Chinese....

Writing up an indictment.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

43. The time doesn't matter.

Preferably, it'll come down before November.

Justice-wise, as long as it happens.

[worldgonekrazy]

48. I don't think it will happen that fast

They've still got to go over his latest grand jury testimony and see how that fits in to previous testimony and the facts of the case as they have learned them. Even if they intended to indict Rove before hand (and I bet they did), they still need to be thorough in this process.

[TexasLawyer]

19. Turdblossom

We hardly knew ye!
:nopity::nopity::nopity::nopity:

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

31. Aw, now don't you go worryin'...

...about Karl, TexasLawyer, he's gonna have plenty of friends and lots of time to get acquainted:

[TexasLawyer]

36. LOL!!!

I am greatly comforted.

[Demeter]

21. What Was The First Clue, Kkkarl?

When did you get the inkling that you were in personal jeopardy?

[0007]

23. Hell, it never hurt John Negroponte's livelihood did it?

Wasn't he convicted Iran/Contra criminal?

Negroponte's veracity is never questioned these days as he heads the intelligence of this country.

[chelsea0011]

24. Hell as in, I really wish there was a way to lie my way out of this?

Most corrupt, immoral administration ever.

[TexasThoughtCriminal]

25. I can't wait for Fitzmas Part 2! I got a bottle of champagne on ice!

[Imalittleteapot]

27. Be careful. Until there is an indictment

there's no telling whether what Mr. Rove is saying is the truth.

[Rex]

29. Oh wow! Turdblossom spilled the beans! HAHA what a puss!

I bet he cried and wet himself at least twice! :rofl:

Hey Cheney and Bush - goose meet cook. :evilgrin:

[AuntiBush]

34. On Re-Run Right Now!

[gasperc]

35. hope Rove accidently finds a gun...

it accidently goes off while he is cleaning it...

[Imagevision]

37. Prediction: Rove will go down then Chertoff will follow...

[goclark]

38. The Rove way is to let us believe that he's going down

then be totally cleared, Cheney steps down and he steps up.

[connecticut yankee]

39. What difference does it make?

Bush will pardon him, anyway.

[Lindacooks]

40. Hey, KKKarl, if you've done nothing wrong and don't have anything

to hide, there's nothing to worry about, right? :evilgrin:

'Bout time you started sweating, you pig.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

41. I want to see him handcuffed.

Until then I won't be happy.

[ClintonTyree]

42. My imagination is running wild.....

I'm picturing KKKRL under a spotlight, his fleshy, white, porcine face sweating profusely, stuttering, stammering, eyes darting wildly from side to side KNOWING that he's been nailed! His mind racing, his heart pumping like a gerbil on crack trying to think of something......anything he can tell Fitzgerald to throw him off track. But alas, he has nowhere else to hide. Fitzgerald has him cornered, treed, unable to move away from the crushing, penetrating weight of THE TRUTH! :rofl:

Poor KKKarl! :rofl: How I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in that Grand Jury room! :rofl: Squeal KKKarl, squeal!

[geiger]

44. I've read a lot about Rove

but never this one....interesting, to say the least. thank you.

[YDogg]

46. Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya, turdblossom.

Good riddance.

[complain jane]

50. GOOD. n/t

[Algorem]

52. get his new wardrobe of assless orange jump suits in 'porky' ready

[Zhade]

53. Interesting. Any credible sources on this?

The two listed are shit.

[Patrick J Fitzgerald]

55. I t has arrived - Merry Fitzmas!!!

Today I am recommending to the grand jury that they indict White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Christian Rove on charges of perjury and lying to federal investigators. At this hour, I am still mulling over charges of obstruction of justice based on yesterday's testimony.

If 12 of the 23 jurists concur with my assertions and vote to indict I will schedule a press conference for Monday. If they require more time for deliberation then the grand jury will reconvene next Wednesday and I will then hold a press conference upon its conclusion.

Yours Truly,
Patrick
Fighting for truth, justice and the American way.

PS: A note to the mainstream media, pundits and newsreaders: You guys should really stop letting the defense counsel and Administration play you like a fiddle. All, but a very select few of you, look very foolish spinning this way and that and playing fast and loose without checking your facts, doing your homework or asking the tough questions. More importantly, you need to earn the trust of the American people back once again. After the bad examples set by Judy Miller, FOX News, Chris Matthews, and the Bob's - Woodward and Novak et al, you are despised almost as much the very evil doers I am prosecuting. Please straighten up and fly right your country needs you now more than ever.

If there is a HELL Rove-ing Pigboy will be on the front row of the lake of fire!

That son of a bitch is a traitor that released the name of a CIA agent.
That is an evil act that has probably resulted in the deaths of
other
CIA agents involved in the covert investigation of Iran's nuclear
proliferation. Which will result in another biblical concept,
Armegeddon!!
