WaPo via MSNBC - Charges to be filed Friday. Rove trying to weasel out

[Stinky The Clown]

BowtieBoy said in his opening that the WaPo just posted that charges will be laid out at a newz conference on Friday. Further, Rove's lawyers are in intense negoriatins to avoid Rove's being charged with perjury.

No link yet.

1. Negotiations? Who needs fuckin negotiations?

Just go ahead and invade.
Oh sorry, wrong story.

[TheDebbieDee]

6. Hahahahahahahaha!

[jezebel]

2. Yeah I heard that. He said as of now Rove & his lawyers don't know if he

will be charged, they are working hard to convince the prosecutor not to charge him with perjury.

[geekgrrl]

3. ohh just turned on TV and saw this- Fitzmas is Friday!!

I want Rove indicted for Fitzmas and it sounds like it could happen!!

[aquart]

10. Damn. I said it would be Friday. Want it NOW.

Does Fitzmas have special colors?

Bush yellow?

Jumpsuit orange?

Terra! alert red?

[The Backlash Cometh]

4. How can you avoid being charged with perjury, when the bargaining

chip was obstruction of justice?

[Straight Shooter]

5. So who is Rove going to throw under the bus to save his sorry a**?

I always knew he was a whiney-ass punk when it came right down to the nitty-gritty. As other DU'ers have said, I hope he's indicted like he's never been indicted before.

Traitor. Snitch. Coward.

7. So, what does Turd Blossom have on Dubya that's all that valuable?

Flipping his boss would be Karl's only bargaining chip. Betya Shrub will come to regret the "turd blossom" comment.

[spindrifter]

12. I would love to be there when

they fill out his AKA's for his rap sheet--Turdblossom.

I'd also covet a seat in court so I could hear the prosecutor cross-examine him--Isn't it true, Mr. R*ve, that you are known in some circles as Turdblossom.

[leveymg]

23. If I were in the courtroom seat occupied by Mr. Rove, I would cover it

before sitting. :yoiks:

8. Here's the WaPo link

18. I hope this is where the 2% approval rating kicks in

Bush, in terms of African Americans.

Thanks for the link. I loved the paragraghs near the end, describing the grand jury as majority African American women, including the foreperson, plus several African American men. I should have realized that given the demographics of the District, but seeing it verified in print gave me a warm feeling, regarding the group who are deciding Karl Rove's fate.

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

19. It is delicious, isn't it? What a fitting way for this administration to

go down.

And how nice that African Americans get the honor of participating.

[C_U_L8R]

9. Turn over Bush and maybe we'll negotiate (nt)

[davidwparker]

11. Turning over * and Darth would do it. Otherwise he can go to prision and

squeal like a pig.

[frogmarch]

14. Perjury?

That's all Rove might be charged with? Effing perjury?

Even so, it scares me thinking that because his lawyer is friends with Fitz, he might get away with it. Unless Fitz is as hardnosed as he's reputed to be.

[Stinky The Clown]

15. I think Fitz is as hardnosed as they say he is

What's Rover got that Fitz would want?

Only the monkey ... and Rove will never give that up.

[Sparkly]

17. Maybe he's doing some sort of plea for Chimpy...

Maybe he thinks there's enough potential damage to the monkey that he's trying to minimize it, even falling on his sword -- who knows? The top priority, I think, is to keep Chimp shielded. ("He didn't know! He didn't know!" That's been their excuse for him from the start.)

[longship]

13. Aha! A Friday! Just like in Watergate.

And if it is like Watergate, they'll do it late in the business day. Puts it into the weekend news dump which is what you want to do when you have very important, earth-shaking news.

This almost had to be decided today. Something came together today.

[Demobrat]

16. Intense negotiations, huh? What bargaining chips

has Rove got?

Let's see....he can plead guilty to a lesser offense and save the country the cost of his trial.

Or he can give up W.

Assuming of course that Fitzgerald's got the goods.

Poor KKKarl.

[marbuc]

20. I would settle for a perjury charge if he flips Cheney

Either way, Rove is gone, as is the evil one.

[dave29]

21. someone call Kawl Wove a Waaaambulance

it breaks my heart to think he might have to have his day in court

[DearAbby]

22. Well I wonder if the Turdblossom is willing to give up bigger fish

for this? Can you imagine how long Rovie would last in general population? Fitz has them by the short hairs and would not let the 'Blossom out unless he had something worth Fitz' time...:nopity:
