About a month ago, there was a lot of speculation that Karl Rove had been indicted. Not only did the Liberal blogs jump the gun on this, but so did a couple of mainstream media figures. Turns out, they were most likely wrong.
A few days ago, Rove's attorney, Robert Luskin, announced that his client was not a target anymore. Why Fitzgerald did not also announce the fact is indeed a mystery, but since Luskin could be disbarred by making that statement if it was not true, we can safely say that Rove is off the hook. However, what is being missed by the media is the fact that an indictment was handed down that week, does exist, and is under seal. The indictment itself is logged as 06 cr 128 , "Sealed v. Sealed". What is most unusual about the indictment is the "Sealed" on the left hand portion instead of the words "United States".
From the desk of Patrick Fitzgerald
So if Rove is not indicted, who is? This is going to be a most fascinating question, and it will persist for a while, since sealed indictments tend to stay under seal for weeks or even months, while the investigation progresses.
This should be one of the most interesting cliffhangers since "Who Shot JR" ended a season of the TV show "Dallas", back in the 1970's.
Who was indicted? Let the speculation begin.
