1. Oh, I so hope this is true!

:bounce: :toast: :party:

[bear425]

2. From the article

Two things are clear, the sources said: either Rove will agree to enter into a plea deal with Fitzgerald or he will be charged with a crime, but he will not be exonerated for the role he played in the leak.

3. Get 'em Fitz!

[acmavm]

4. NO PLEA BARGAINS. Fry the bastard.

6. I wouldn't mind a plea if he turns on Bush/Cheney

I know, I know.

To dream the impossible dream.

;)

[Catherine Vincent]

8. hear hear!

Why should he be able to plea bargain?

[sonias]

5. Please make it so!

We need more bad creeps paying for their crimes.

7. Susan Ralston

Go, Susie, GO.

[Catherine Vincent]

9. That sure is a non-professional pose there Susan.

LOL.

14. She's into a litlle bit of everything!

"Ralston previously worked as a personal secretary to Jack Abramoff, the Republican power lobbyist now under investigation for allegedly defrauding Indian tribes who was recently indicted on conspiracy and wire fraud charges. While working with Abramoff, Ralston arranged fundraisers and events at Washington MCI Center skyboxes for members of Congress and their staff."

10. Funny how Abramoff's name keeps popping up, closer and

closer to dubya. Now there is a rove connection. :popcorn:

[BlueIris]

11. No deals for anyone. Hang 'em all.

GO, FITZ!!!

I love that man.

And I plan to enjoy my Fitzmas, pt. 2. During Fitzmas, pt. 1, I um, really enjoyed myself. By myself. Next time, I might have to find some company.

[merbex]

12. It is amazing how stupid they think Fitzgerald is: she tells him

calls don't get logged if they happen a certain way.

He checks

They do get logged.

Get your affairs in order Susan

Enjoy your last Christmas on the outside for a while

[MadisonProgressive]

13. If this is any indication - YES!

"Earlier this month, attorneys say Fitzgerald received additional testimony from Ralston -- who said that Rove instructed her not to log a phone call Rove had with Cooper about Plame in July 2003."

[samdogmom]

15. Why all the secrecy Rove--if you "didn't" know Plame was undercover?

Don't you find it odd that Rove went to great lengths to cover his tracks in talking to reporters about Plame if he "didn't" know she was undercover? Of course he knew he was breaking laws, that's why he asked that calls not be logged. Is there any other explanation for this odd behavior?

[donkeyotay]

16. He "forgot." The whole administration is having a mass memory lapse

Rove’s lawyer, Robert Luskin, maintains that his client did not intentionally withhold facts from the prosecutor or grand jury but simply forgot about his conversations with Cooper. But sources say Rove’s reasons for not being forthcoming have not convinced Fitzgerald that Rove had a momentary lapse.

And here he shows a guilty conscience. He instructed Ralston to not log the call because he knew it was wrong:

Earlier this month, attorneys say Fitzgerald received additional testimony from Ralston -- who said that Rove instructed her not to log a phone call Rove had with Cooper about Plame in July 2003.

But then the source says this:

Rove does not appear to be in jeopardy of being charged with violating a law making it a crime to leak the name of a covert CIA agent because it’s unlikely that he was unaware that Plame was undercover, they added.

Aside from not being able to follow this sentence's logic, it doesn't seem to me that he was unaware that leaking her identity was wrong since he had instructed his assistant to not log the call.

17. Holding my breath

Of all the evil ones...its Rove I want to see brought down.
