Billmon is getting excited<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Karl's Moment of Truth?<br>Well, I can't make heads or tails out of all the rumors and reports flying around, and I wouldn't know a target letter from a poison pen letter, but Larry O'Donnell has an outstanding won/loss record so far, so let's just go with him:<br><br>What this means is Rove's lawyer, Bob Luskin, believes his client is defintely going to be indicted. So, Luskin is sending Rove back into the grand jury to try to get around the prosecutor and sell his innocence directly to the grand jurors. Legal defense work doesn't get more desperate than this. The prosecutor is happy to let Rove go under oath again -- without his lawyer in the room -- and try to wiggle out of the case. The prosecutor has every right to expect that Rove's final under-oath grilling will either add a count or two to the indictment or force Rove to flip and testify against someone else.<br>O'Donnell's picks: <br><br>At least three high level Bush Administration personnel indicted and possibly one or more very high level unindicted co-conspirators.<br>Considering how high the presumed "high level" personnel sit in the White House pecking order, I can think of very few who would qualify for the honor of being "very high level unindicted co-conspirators." Only two, in fact.<br><br>Which means this could end up being a bigger bombshell than I would have expected in even my wildest dreams. <br><br>Update 6:00 PM ET: Murray Waas weighs in:<br><br>During tomorrow's session, Rove will be pressed about issues as to why his accounts to the FBI and grand jury have changed, or evolved, over time. He will also be questioned regarding contacts with other senior administration officials, such as then-deputy National Security advisor Stephen J. Hadley and I. Lewis Libby, the chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney in the critical week before the publication of columnist Robert Novak's column on July 14, 2003, which outed Plame as a covert CIA operative. (emphasis added)<br><br>per·ju·ry (pûr'ju'ree) 1. The deliberate, willful giving of false, misleading, or incomplete testimony. 2. The criminal offense of making false statements under oath. 3. The breach of an oath or promise.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--> <br><br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://billmon.org/archives/002232.html">billmon.org/archives/002232.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br> <p></p><i></i>
