Special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald will decide Karl Rove’s fate in the next two to three weeks, The New York Times reported.
And Rove may be more worried than he’s letting on. Washington Post columnist Dan Froomkin rounded up up some of the recent reporting on the case, quoting David Shuster of MSNBC:
“While his supporters continue to put a good face on his lengthy grand jury testimony, other sources close to Karl Rove say the presidential adviser is now more worried, not less, that he’s going to get indicted. The sources say Rove was surprised by some of the questions he was asked, and by the fact the session stretched on for three and a half hours.”

Oooh! I can’t wait! Two or three weeks! The suspense is killing me.
I can wait. Let the son of a bitch sweat it out for a couple of more weeks.
If he is indicted I guess it would fall into the category of “Gee were you really that stupid?”. And maybe I had given Bush&Co. too much credit. But the feeling that they are too conceded for their own good has came some time ago. It has become more that they really thought so little of the planning stage that they could not be caught or could get out of it.
It is an oxymoron to me, in order to gain the Presidency there would have been years of planning, some deep analyzes of Political turns and twist. Judging the American public and how to divert and distract us. Of how to control our opinions and thoughts, using the apathy in the American voter and the willingness of the American people to be lead. Thought on how to use our own weaknesses and prejudice against the American voters. Of the use of partisan politics to mask and divert any question as to what is going on and the why of some actions. A knowing plan of action and a fore-planning as to every outcome and direction that may come about. This all taking a great deal of thought and planning of some smart, evil people.
YET to be caught with such ease in lies and deception shows very poor planning or a confidence that being caught will not matter. Using some of the most powerful and important people in Government like toilet paper. When the risking of the Presidency, vice presidency and key functions of the Government, makes one wonder who is in control that they would feel that these offices are disposable. LoL Ed I am sure has the answer to the whom.
I think the most striking thing about Watergate were the tapes, how could someone like the President be so stupid as to record planning section of covering up illegal activities? And how could those that were so thoughtful, planning, insightful as the powers that be NOT have learn from such a blunder today?Rove and the e-mail blunder? I do not even work daily at the White house and I know about the e-mail system that has double tracking and duplicate function! Even the computer you are reading this on has a similar function to it. And the White house has a even more extensive system and is meant to be just for such things.
Being in politics at this level seems a bit like walking around in the back yard of a household with several large dogs. They may be your best friend, but you still have to watch where you step.Along those lines of thought, I have to wonder why the man with the biggest feet in the Bush administration had to do the cleanup?
Fitzmas is coming.
You better watch out, you better not pout…he’s making a list and checking it twice, gonna find out who’s naughty and nice….
A merry fitzmas to you all this week!
Now just watch the “war on fitzmas” break out on fux news.
Heheh. I am cooking breakfast this morning for my favorite farmer, republican, christian conservative, rush fan.
Considering all the abuse I have taken from him over the past six years…I wonder if revenge really is a dish best served cold? Rush and Karl in the news at the same time. Hmmmm…… Some of you should be glad you dont have your feet under my table this morning.
I should start chillin’ the pancakes right now. Heheh.
Karl Rove is a symptom. If you need to ask, you haven’t arrived at understanding the nature of bad things.
Perhaps it will come to you while filling your tank with Jew-Gas.
Everybody keeps calling Rove this magnificent political genuis.
Check the poll numbers.
Some genius.
He’s more like the Machivelli that destroys everybody else before he himself is destroyed.
This will be an interesting story. Can anyone explain to me how John Ashcroft picked someone as competent as Fitzgerald to do this job? Old Johnny must have been ill that day and inadvertantly did something right.
KFG, fried crow strips or patties might be fitting for your friend, in lieu of bacon or sausage.
But I can relate to your situation. I stopped talking politics to my friends on the opposite side, long ago. The same with religion.
Ed, could you please explain “filling your tank?” I’m not familiar with the needle at Full.
Sarcasm aside, I’m not getting my hopes up on a Rove indictment. Too many times over the last 5 years, something has happened that should have signaled the downfall of the current administration. Voting discrepancies, Katrina, Libby’s indictment, NSA spying, and the list goes on and on. Yet either the topic was next thing to ignored by the media or by those who could actually take some action (Democrats), or it was somehow forgotten by the angry masses because of something new happening to divert our attention. In that way, Rove has been successful.
I fear for our country for the next 2-3 years. I’ve learned the hard way that bad things don’t take long to happen, but it takes a helluva long time to correct them. Will we ever be able to crawl out of this hole or will this continue until there is nothing left of the U.S.A.?
I’m with RD.There was an easy way to get rid of these guys two years ago, and it didn’t happen. The fault is both the democrats inability to get their act together and the depths of dishonesty that republicans will go to. Now, sadly, the only real hope we have is the midterm elections, and we all know there isn’t much in play there. Indictments in this case don’t mean a hill of beans in the grand scheme of things.
Allie,
I’m not so sure. Considering everything else that’s failed to happen, this may be the last chance to stop a renegade Presidency.
Hope springs eternal in the hearts of democrats.
Bush’s little Zionist pig.
What’s it going to take for you spineless good for nothing Democrats to do something? Will you Censure Bush&CO now? Are you ever going to crawl out from under that rock and do something! It’s your fault we are in this mess; you Democrats did a piss poor job the last time you were in office so Americans voted for every Republican on the ticket. You Republican Gangsters and you Democrat Cowards are nothing but a big joke and you are laughing all the way to the bank, and we Americans pay.Russ Feingold doesn’t have a problem standing up to the Republicans. To bad he is all alone. Americans need more like him! Democrats rock “Home Sweet Home”.~ BackyardPit
Backyardpit, my first reaction is to tell you to go get screwed, but on second thought, you’re right.
XXX I thought the same thing about his post, but then I read this at the end…
“Russ Feingold doesn’t have a problem standing up to the Republicans. To bad he is all alone. Americans need more like him!”
…and I thought, well damn, ya gotta love THAT!!!!!!
SUPPORT RUSS FEINGOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, I’ll be . . . a Senator with huevos. Someone who isn’t afraid to stand up to the morons in congress, and has the added bonus of having some interesting ideas on health care, national security, immigration and foreign policy. Sounds like Russ is someone worth looking into.
