WASHINGTON--Top White House aides are privately discussing the future of Karl Rove, with some expressing doubt that President Bush can move beyond the damaging CIA leak case as long as his closest political strategist remains in the administration. ...

While Rove faces doubts about his White House status, there are new indications that he remains in legal jeopardy from Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald's criminal investigation of the Plame leak. The prosecutor spoke this week with the lawyer for Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper about his client's telephone conversations with Rove before and after Plame's identity became publicly known because of anonymous disclosures by White House officials, according to two sources familiar with the conversation.
Fitzgerald is considering charging Rove with making false statements in the course of the 22-month probe, and sources close to Rove--whose titles are senior adviser and White House deputy chief of staff--said they expect to know within weeks whether the most powerful aide in the White House will be accused of a crime. ...
Fitzgerald made clear to Rove's attorney in private conversations last week that his client remains under investigation. And he signaled the same in his indictment of Libby on Friday, in which he identified a senior White House official who had conversations related to the Plame leak as ``Official A.'' White House colleagues say Rove is clearly ``Official A'' based on the detailed description.
Well, if we had any REAL investigations of this administration it would get to at least "Official Z", then prosecutors would have to go to the Greek alphabet.
