Plame Gossip - Rove next week?

David Schuster was on Olberman tonight talking about today's Libby hearing, and he paraphrased Judge Walton as saying that evidence involving Rove would soon be available as he expected a resolution to the Rove matter soon. Also, there was a diligent effort by Fitzgerald not to mention Rove in any way which he would do if he were intending to seek an indictment against "Official A."

Schuster also said the "tea leaves" say that Rove will be indicted. So, do your shopping now. I'd guess Wednesday or Friday unless Luskin pulls another gimmick.

Later: Another point Schuster made is that Libby's defense mentioned in oral arguments an effort to obtain "documents and emails" wherein Rove communicated with other administration officials regarding Plame's identity. Note the plural.

I don't know if that's just an open ended generic term used for discovery purposes, or if we just learned that Fitzgerald might have more than just the Rove-Hadley email as evidence of perjury.

Bottom line, it doesn't look good for Rove next week.

Also, if you've got your tin foil hat handy, RawStory had a big teaser up that there was going to be a big Abu Ghraib story developing (related to Goss?,) and then their site almost immediately became unavailable with an unresolvable address. "Currently awaiting resolution...." Don't know, don't know, it might be nothing, but it is odd. (Still not there 5 hours later.)

  • Jesus, what a day! Come home to find out Goss is out at CIA and peak over at your site in between innings of the Mets-Braves game to find out that the Rove indictment watch has begun and a big Goss/Wilkes connection may be breaking in tomorrow's Post.

    It feels a little like Christmas - I can't wait to see what the Post article says about Goss tomorrow morning.
