No indictment for Rove

OK, Rove slipped through the net and won't be indicted. I was one of those who posted an inaccurate and overly optimistic report saying he had been or was about to be awhile back. I regret that. If anyone paid off any bets based on my posting, I apologize. But let's not confuse "not indicted" with "not guilty of anything," OK?

Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald has told White House aide Karl Rove that he does not expect to seek charges against him in connection with the CIA leak case, Rove's lawyer said today.

In a statement this morning, Robert Luskin, Rove's attorney, said that Fitzgerald "has formally advised us that he does not anticipate seeking charges" against Rove.

"In deference to the pending case, we will not make any further public statements about the subject matter of the investigation," Luskin said in the statement. "We believe that the Special Counsel's decision should put an end to the baseless speculation about Mr. Rove's conduct."
