		<description>So far the box score on this is 
One bunt, no hits, and a bunch of errors.
If it goes to trial it will be accompanied by a lot of strike outs

		<description>Good points well made, Carol.

For some extensive giggles on the Rove-off-the-hook story, Flopping Aces seemed to be so mesmerized by the weeping and gnashing of teeth from a crushed and devastated leftie site, F.A. kept copy-pasting &quot;just one more&quot; from the C&amp;D-leftie &quot;comments&quot; block.

That they&#039;re serious makes it incredibly funny.</description>

		<description>Fitzgerald can&#039;t afford to go after Cooper, Woodward, or Russert.  BECAUSE he can&#039;t afford anymore damage to his own reputation; and there&#039;s a rule out there worth repeating:  &quot;Don&#039;t touch people who buy ink by the barrel.&quot;

Of course, counterfeiters still get caught.  But you don&#039;t need a special prosecutor to arrest ordinary criminals.  

How do ordinary counterfeiters get caught?  They try to pass the buck.

There&#039;s no &quot;case closed&quot; stamp because our justice system is in dissary.  Turns out MOST cases never reach juries.  And, for proof, I quote Law Professor Steven Lubet.  He says in CIVIL cases ONLY 3% ever get tried. 

We&#039;re living with a legal system where the whole ball of wax is to intimidate INNOCENT people to &quot;settle.&quot;  OR to accept &quot;lesser charges,&quot; even if there&#039;s no criminal intent involved.  That&#039;s why Martha Stewart did NOT get a fair deal!  The Appeals Court decided to keep in play the rule that the &quot;Trier of Fact&quot; knows everything.  And, it&#039;s never questioned.  Errors can come about only if judges go &quot;in-flagrant-del-etto&quot;  So that few cookes crumble.

But it is very sad, indeed.

Perhaps, the future pressure will be on newcomers coming up to bat at the Supreme&#039;0&#039;s, who understand the damage done, already.  And, bring the lawlessness of our system to heel.</description>

		<description>Here is a pretty full account with the speakers identified.
http://www.abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=2070159

BEGIN QUOTE
Fitzgerald met with chief U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan before he notified Rove. Hogan has been overseeing the grand juries in the CIA leak case. Fitzgerald&#039;s spokesman, Randall Samborn, declined to comment. 

Asked if the CIA leak investigation is still continuing, Samborn said, &quot;I&#039;m not commenting on that as well as this time.&quot; 

.....&quot;In deference to the pending case, we will not make any further public statements about the subject matter of the investigation,&quot; [Rove&#039;s Lawyer]Luskin said.

See full test at link

It is interesting what Luskin said about not talking about the subject matter of the investigation.</description>

I agree that is the most probable outcome.  But I am not so sure not to at least entertain the idea.</description>

		<description>Actually, I do not think Armitage will be indicted, but if he isn&#039;t it makes Libby&#039;s case only weaker for it turns out it was he who first disclosed Plame&#039;s identity to reporters, and it may well be that he failed to tell Fitz about his earlier disclosure to Woodward when he testified about telling Novak.</description>

		<description>Snapple,

In Libby&#039;s request for evidence in Fitzgerald&#039;s possession he has been barred from receiving evidence that is tied to the &#039;other investigation&#039;.  We had all assumed this was the investigation into Rove.  Now that Rove is cleared either that evidence is now available to Libby, or there was another target in Fitz&#039;s cross-hairs.  The only one left is the original source leaker - Armitage.</description>
