Think Progress tips us to this exclusive in today's The Note:

Based on ABC News sources (and our own video camera) it appears that at least two witnesses testified before the grand jury last Friday, both close associates of Karl Rove.

ABC News has learned that one was Susan Ralston, Rove's long-time right hand. The other, per ABC News' Jake Tapper, was Israel "Izzy" Hernandez, Rove's former left hand (and now a top Commerce Department official). It isn't clear if either had been asked to testify before last week.

This may or may not mean Fitgerald is going after Rove. The two witnesses could be providing evidence that corroborates Rove's version. It's interesting, but not quite up to being a "dot" yet.

    Let's hope Fitzgerald can get his investigation wrapped up before October. Otherwise, he may be out of a job, and his investigation may end up twisting slowly in the wind.

    I knew it was only a matter of time before Jeff Gannon reared his ugly head...
    At the end of yesterday's column, Novak says that "Joseph Wilson was discarded a year ago by the Kerry presidential campaign after the Senate committee reported much of what he said 'had no basis in fact.' [...] [The] notion that Wilson was "discarded" from the Kerry campaign comes straight from a July 2004 story written by -- drumroll, please -- Jeff Gannon!
    Oh whadda world...

    Mikey D, please don't use 'gannon' and 'head' in the same sentence! I can't afford any more pictures like that in my brain;-)
