Karl Rove Indicted on Charges of Perjury, Lying to Investigators

    Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald spent more than half a day Friday at the offices of Patton Boggs, the law firm representing Karl Rove.

    During the course of that meeting, Fitzgerald served attorneys for former Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove with an indictment charging the embattled White House official with perjury and lying to investigators related to his role in the CIA leak case, and instructed one of the attorneys to tell Rove that he has 24 hours to get his affairs in order, high level sources with direct knowledge of the meeting said Saturday morning.

The grand jury hearing evidence in the Plame Wilson case met Friday on other matters while Fitzgerald spent the entire day at Luskin's office. The meeting was a closely guarded secret and seems to have taken place without the knowledge of the media.

    As TruthOut reported Friday evening, Rove told President Bush and Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten, as well as a few other high level administration officials, that he will be indicted in the CIA leak case and will

immediately resign his White House job when the special counsel publicly announces the charges against him, according to sources.

Well, duh.

Hmmm, I wonder how long the media will hype this one?

The administration wants him to mresign first so the headlines read "Former White House Staffer Indicted."

Correction:

"business hours" added to article.

That's the lamest attempted parsing of words since " that depends on what the definition of IS is. " No one uses the 'business hours' time frame. If anything, it's business days, as in Mon - Fri. But business hours?
