Fitzgerald Likely to Pursue Rove Indictment

According to the Raw Story. $Q: Short of a last minute intervention by Rove’s attorney, Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald is expected to ask a grand jury investigating the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson to indict Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove for making false statements to the FBI and Justice Department investigators in October 2003, lawyers close to the case say. It appears Rove's lawyer Luskin dodged the first indictment bullet by bringing Viveca Novak into the equation. Now that she's spoken, it looks like it's not enough to keep Rove off the block. It was six to eight months after V. Novak revealed the Cooper conversation to Luskin that Rove came clean—too long, apparently, for Fitzgerald.
