Sunday, May 14, 2006 | truthout: Rove will be indicted

TRUTHOUT.org is reporting that Karl Rove, also known as "Bush's brain," engineer of stolen elections, bungled wars and many scandals, will be indicted by the grand jury in the Valerie Plame spy outing case. They are reporting that he will be charged with lying to investigators, though it's not known whether obstruction of justice will be among the charges. I am gathering that there will be a news conference by Patrick Fitzgerald Monday.

Here is the really weird thing -- none of the mainstream or alternative news outlets are not carrying this story. Even http://RawStory.com is not running this one, and they generally run 24 to 48 hours ahead of the news.

It doesn't really matter what Rove is being charged with; this is big news. The next rungs in the chain of accountability are Bush and Cheney themselves.

The astrology of this development is, pretty simply, the Scorpio Full Moon. Here is the lead from truthout.org, by Jason Leopold, linked in full below:

Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald spent more than half a day Friday at the offices of Patton Boggs, the law firm representing Karl Rove.

During the course of that meeting, Fitzgerald served attorneys for former Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove with an indictment charging the embattled White House official with perjury and lying to investigators related to his role in the CIA leak case, and instructed one of the attorneys to tell Rove that he has 24 hours to get his affairs in order, high level sources with direct knowledge of the meeting said Saturday morning.

Robert Luskin, Rove's attorney, did not return a call for comment. Sources said Fitzgerald was in Washington, DC, Friday and met with Luskin for about 15 hours to go over the charges against Rove, which include perjury and lying to investigators about how and when Rove discovered that Valerie Plame Wilson was a covert CIA operative and whether he shared that information with reporters, sources with direct knowledge of the meeting said.

In other news, it looks like the affair is getting close to Cheney. Details as they are available. This story is all over the mainstream media, including being the front page of both major news portals. It is interesting that the focus has moved to Cheney, but not unexpected. My prediction that Cheney would be out one way or another by mid-May is running a little late, but, let's see. He does seem to be shark chum at the moment.
