When the Indictments Come Down
Let's hope there are Arrest Warrents and that the indicted parties are taken downtown in squad cars. None of the white-collar friendly arrest crap.

1. They will afford them the same courtesy
they afford most high profile, wealthy, white collar criminals. They will allow them to turn themselves in.

2. Come on.. these are rich white men...
There will be no Rodney King moments here. Only the most supple kid gloves imaginable.

3. My guess is Thursday or Friday. I'm hoping for Thursday!
It's the Shrub folks that do everything on Fridays, and only because most people don't pay much attention to news on the weekends!

There's been a lot of rumors flying today, and I think that means Thursday!

Only a couple of hours and we'll see!

4. There's another reason to do it on Fridays.
People can get their butts out of the office instead of spending the rest of the workweek with telepone lines backlogged and no work being done.

5. Am I the only one hoping he lets them stew in their own juices over the
weekend and hands down the indictments first thing Monday morning?

6. I understand your point, but I'd like to see them suffer through all the
the Sunday show questions about this! If you out it Monday, but the time it gets to next Sunday, it will be old news!

I'm leaving it up to Fitz. Whenever he decides, as the prosecutor, that he has what he needs, and his work is done, file the indictments. I can deal with whatever day it is.

7. Duh. It's not Shrub or Rove who controls Fitzgerald's timing.

10. Friday would be too politically friendly to the regime.
It has to be today (Thursday) or next week or...

There seems to be lots of rumor out there, so if there's no official word today, we might get the leak on Friday. But the leak will be from Rove, as it was with the Matt Cooper nonsense.

9. Forget about that. It won't happen.
Unless Condi or somebody is indicted for some major criminal charge, like treason (very, very doubtful). There will be no frogmarching until these criminals report for their prison terms.
