Rove to be indicted "this week or early next",
by PACollegeDem 

Wow! Big news--Chris

I realize a few diaries have already talked about
RedState user OhSure's comment (supposedly
confirmed by good sources) that Rove is to be
indicted soon, but here's a little more on the
coming indictment from Dissident Voice's Joshua
Frank (the link comes courtesy of Come And Take
It, a community of Texas left wing bloggers):

..Occasionally I get emails from Washington folks
who work on the Hill claiming to possess juicy
insider digs on our public servants and their
corporate paymasters. I usually delete said
emails, as I don't want to be responsible for
propagating dirty rumors or false information
that can't be corroborated. I'd rather let Judith
Miller and the New York Times do that.
Nonetheless, in the past 24 hours I have been
contacted by three separate congressional
Democrats in Washington, by email and later
phone, who all say the same thing: Karl Rove is
about to be indicted....


Joshua Frank also makes note of the RedState
comment:


...Apparently, I'm not the only one who has been
leaked this information either. Over at Redstate,
a right-wing Internet blog, one member who calls
himself "Ohsure", also claims that "[four] Great
sources confirmed" the matter, and later added:
"I not only don't do this, I have never done
this. But here it is; `Karl Rove will be indicted
late this, or early next week.' I'm trusting a
source. So either I am made a [sic] into an
overzealous horses a**, or..., I have good
sources and may be more trusted to get these
things right."...


It looks like Rove isn't going to be able to
weasel out of this.  I've been skeptical since
the start (as one Kossack put it "I'm afraid to
get excited about this like a poor kid is afraid
to get excited about Christmas) but this is
definitely hopeful news.  The Washington buzz is
that Rove will be indicted; now let's work on
that conviction.  

But what about all the speculation that this
could unravel something a little higher up? It
looks like the White House is seeking some heavy
duty cover; namely Jim Sharp. The link, also via
Come And Take It, has some exceprts from FindLaw
and RawStory explaining the implications of Bush
seeking outside counsel and elaborating on Jim
Sharp's expertise in covering up GOP "accidents",
including his involvement in representing some
big players in Iran-Contra.

The ball is rolling, and it will not be stopped.
