NYT: Libby Indicted, Rove Still Under Investigation
The New York Times' duo of David Johnston and Richard W. Stevenson report that a conclusion -- or at least part of a conclusion -- is nearing in the Plame probe.
Lawyers in the C.I.A. leak case said Thursday that they expected I. Lewis Libby Jr., Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, to be indicted on Friday, charged with making false statements to the grand jury.According to Richard B. Schmitt of the Los Angeles Times, the timing of Fitzgerald's announcement will be "midday." Whenever and however the story breaks, we'll have frequent updates and analysis, so make sure to check in to Basie! tomorrow.
Karl Rove, President Bush's senior adviser and deputy chief of staff, will not be charged on Friday, but will remain under investigation, people briefed officially about the case said. As a result, they said, the special counsel in the case, Patrick J. Fitzgerald, was likely to extend the term of the federal grand jury beyond its scheduled expiration on Friday.
