CIA Leak Case Watch: Indictments for Libby and Rove?

Vice President Richard Cheney’s Chief of Staff I. Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby watches during a photo opportunity in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, October 24, 2005.

Financial Times has Indictments in CIA leak case ‘about to be handed down.

Indictments in the CIA leak investigation case are expected to be handed down by a grand jury on Wednesday, bringing to a head a criminal inquiry that threatens to disrupt seriously President George W. Bush’s second term.

On Tuesday night, news reports, supported by a source close to the lawyers involved in the case, said that target letters to those facing indictment were being issued, with sealed indictments to be filed today and released by the end of the week.

Those in legal jeopardy may include Lewis “Scooter” Libby, vice-president Dick Cheney’s chief of staff, and Karl Rove, Mr Bush’s chief political strategist.

Flap may have this wrong.

Joseph Wilson may get his wish of having Karl Rove frog marched out of the White House:

“At the end of the day, it’s of keen interest to me to see whether or not we can get Karl Rove frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs.”

Stay tuned.
