Rove got immunity in exchange for fingering Dick
Now that you've lost your lunch, the possible scenario:
"Does not anticipate seeking charges” means that if Rove testifies at Libby’s trial as expected, then all will be well for him. But if he “goes sideways” on Fitz and testifies differently from what is now expected, he could be charged - w/perjury certainly, and his deal to avoid criminal liability in the larger conspiracy could be “off” as he could face charges in that as well.
All told, a very standard deal and not unexpected. The more interesting issue and the reason for optimism now is that he couldn’t have gotten such a deal without having something important to offer Fitz. The “no prosecution” letter pretty much guarantees that he that he made a good deal. Either he offered up Cheney himself, or he offered up Libby to guarantee a conviction so Fitz can roll up Libby to Cheney. Either way, for me, I see Cheney going down...

It would be worth it - just to see the fucker totally blow a gasket all over the witness stand.
