Comments flying fast and furious as we breathlessly await the Press Conference mere moments away. Thanks to Terre, leftilicious (best Kos name ever) and Themis for the previous threads.
Handy links:
CNN, Fitzgerald's site and
the text of the indictments.
If you've been living in a cave (or a conference room) for the last few hours, here's the story so far. . .
Libby has been indicted on 5 counts:
Obstruction of justice
False statements (2 counts)
Perjury (2 counts)
The indictment states that his actions imperiled national security. He has resigned.
As we await the press conference, rumors are swirling that Karl Rove said something this week that gave Fitzgerald "pause" but he's received word that he is still under investigation. There are also tales of a new grand jury, a civil suit by the Wilsons and anonymous sources who gave Fitz the real scoop.
We should know more, a lot more by the time the sun sets over the White House.
