Is Rove Facing an Obstruction of Justice Charge?
Anonymous Liberal lays out a case for charging Karl Rove with obstruction of justice (second paragraph) instead of perjury. Personally, I think a false statement charge under 18 U.S.C. 1001 would be easier to prove, but AL makes a good argument.
Also, if the Government charged and proved a false statement charge, it could get a bump under the guidelines for obstruction of justice, without ever having to charge or convict Rove of the actual crime of obstruction.
In any event, Anonymous Liberal's post is well worth a read.
