MSNBC’s<\/i> David Shuster has followed the Plame leak case as closely as any reporter working for the corporate media. Last night on MSNBC’s Countdown<\/i>, Shuster reported on the possible indictment of Karl Rove.<\/p>\n

Lawyers familiar with the case say that Rove would have been notified that he was no longer a subject of the investigation if Fitzgerald were not pursuing an indictment. Fitzgerald referred to Karl Rove as “official A” in the indictment of Scooter Libby. Shuster reports that in every case where Fitzgerald has referred to a person as “official A”, that person was eventually indicted…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rush transcript<\/a> from The Raw Story<\/i>:<\/p>\n

Shuster: Well, Karl Rove’s legal team has told me that they expect that a decision will come sometime in the next two weeks. And I am convinced that Karl Rove will, in fact, be indicted. And there are a couple of reasons why. <\/p>\n

First of all, you don’t put somebody in front of a grand jury at the end of an investigation or for the fifth time, as Karl Rove testified a couple, a week and a half ago, unless you feel that’s your only chance of avoiding indictment. So in other words, the burden starts with Karl Rove to stop the charges. <\/p>\n

Secondly, it’s now been 13 days since Rove testified. After testifying for three and a half hours, prosecutors refused to give him any indication that he was clear. He has not gotten any indication since then. And the lawyers that I’ve spoken with outside of this case say that if Rove had gotten himself out of the jam, he would have heard something by now. <\/p>\n

And then the third issue is something we’ve talked about before. And that is, in the Scooter Libby indictment, Karl Rove was identified as ‘Official A.’ It’s the term that prosecutors use when they try to get around restrictions on naming somebody in an indictment. We’ve looked through the records of Patrick Fitzgerald from when he was prosecuting cases in New York and from when he’s been US attorney in Chicago. And in every single investigation, whenever Fitzgerald has identified somebody as Official A, that person eventually gets indicted themselves, in every single investigation. <\/p>\n

…the lawyers that I’ve been speaking with who know this stuff say, don’t bet on Karl Rove getting out of this.\n<\/div>\n

In this video, Shuster also reports on the possibility of an indictment for Ohio Congressman Bob Ney. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
