WTF Is It Now?!?

Hot Karl news
A source close to the repulsive slimeball says that Karl Rove has turned on Scooter Libby, and is "cooperating enthusiastically" with Fitzgerald. At least until Cheney shoots him in the face.

According to several Pentagon sources close to Rove and others familiar with the inquiry, Bush's senior adviser tipped off Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald to information that led to the recent "discovery" of 250 pages of missing email from the office of Vice President Dick Cheney.

Pretty interesting stuff, though, seeing the President's closest advisor potentially ratting out the Vice President's former closest advisor. Extrapolate that to their bosses, and you really do have to wonder how long Cheney is going to be around. Clemons also points out that there are still nine months to go before Scooter's trial starts, and that Fitzgerald could very well widen the pool of White House staff and officials charged in the case. There have to be some pretty intriguing names connected to those 250 pages of e-mail.

But TalkLeft says

Rove will still have to plead to making a false statement to federal officials -- but he's now worked himself down to probation and no jail in exchange for his cooperation. Fitz may allow him to remain uncharged until at least Libby's trial is over, and then let him plead to an Information charging a single false statement count.

Then there's this from truthout:

It may seem as though it's been moving along at a snail's pace, but the second part of the federal investigation into the leak of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson is nearly complete, with attorneys and government officials who have remained close to the probe saying that a grand jury will likely return an indictment against one or two senior Bush administration officials.

Bah. Watch that slimy little worm cop a plea. Then be pardoned by his boss.
