Indictment Watch
by TChris
A source close to the investigation said this morning that an announcement of any grand jury actions was not likely today. Members of the grand jury left the courthouse around noon and did not appear likely to return today.
CNN has a similar report.
Update: From Raw Story:
Special Prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald has asked the grand jury investigating the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson to indict Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby and Bush’s Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice, lawyers close to the investigation tell RAW STORY.
Raw Story's sources say Rove was offered a deal yesterday that he rejected. The sources also say that Fitzgerald asked the grand jury to indict Libby on the additional charge of outing a covert operative. Whether the grand jury did so before it adjourned today is unknown, although the article says it "had not yet decided" at the time the article was published.
