Matthews on Rove Indictment: ‘It Could Be Today’

[dogday]

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews appeared was on Don Imus’ show this morning and said that Karl Rove could be indicted today.

Transcript:

MATTHEWS: If, however, something happens with Karl Rove, we’re going to go to general quarters around here.

IMUS: What does that mean?

MATTHEWS: Meaning we will be taping probably on Saturday or late night because everything will change. Last time, when he picked up Scooter, when he nailed him 30 years of charges, that happened on 1:00 on a Friday. So we don’t know when it might happen, if it’s going happen.

IMUS: Are we expecting something with Karl Rove today?

MATTHEWS: Well, it could be today. It could be next week. Everybody is buzzing about when or if. It’s a big if, big when. There is a lot of talk because he is still being interviewing by the special prosecutor. He keeps being hauled before the grand jury. So something is going on here with the special prosecutor. We don’t know whether he is going to clear him or nail him.

2. If Matthews says it, don't count on it.

His track record on being wrong is only worse than Dick Morris'.

3. Last night on Du a post said reporters were staking out the

buiilding where Fitz meets with the GJ. Maybe this is SOP anytime the GJ meets, I don't know, but the reporters made it sound like this time was different.

4. Tweety don't know Jack!

:freak:

[emulatorloo]

13. But he does know David Schuster EOM

[H2O Man]

15. David Shuster does some

of the best reporting on the Plame scandal. But, to be fair, he would admit that it is in large part because Chris Matthews has pointed him in the right direction, and has given him the leads he has needed to uncover so much of the truth on the case.

5. "We don’t know whether he is going to clear him or nail him."

seems like he doesn't really know anything?

6. Just Gets Better & Better!

I have wanted that Rove a-hole to get his for so long. So what do we call this, since it's not December & we can't call it "Fitzmas"?

Ah, what the Hell. Call it Fitzmas, anyway!:evilgrin:

7. The Grand Jury Meets at 9:30 am Eastern Time

They are in session as we speak... Cross your fingers everyone!!!!:evilgrin:

[emulatorloo]

8. On day Libby was indicted, Fitz office announced a press conf for 2pm

they put out an announcement in the morning that there would be a conference in the afternoon. I don't beleive that they have announced a conference for today yet.

9. Still morning, we can hope

It would seem like it would make the Friday dump like before... I am just waiting and hoping at this point...

[H2O Man]

10. Late morning.

If someone could go to the courthouse, and see if the grand jury moves to the judge's chambers ....

[emulatorloo]

11. that would be nice -- esp if they could set up a webcam and we could

all watch. . .

[annabanana]

16. Who are our boots on the ground?

there in DC?

[stop the bleeding]

20. I have been wondering that myself

I just the Federal Document site and nadda on Libby or Rove in the way of new filings -

Here is to hoping

I have the Champagne on ice :)

[stop the bleeding]

18. That would be ideal

now only if we had a DU reporter???

[Catherine Vincent]

17. Fitzgerald is causing Karl Rove to sweat a lot of bullets!

What if he waits until Monday to decide? Make Rove sweat all weekend! LOL!

[mb7588a]

21. Karl doesn't sweat. he's not human. nt.

[Mr_Spock]

19. I expect that it will be today.

that's the feeling I get based on Fitz's latest moves...

[KAT119]

22. From your lips, Mr_Spock....Thank you!! We desperately need a break

[UTUSN]

23. Well? It's getting to be 1P.M. --shoulda known if Tweety said it,

it would turn out not to be (today).
