Fitzgerald's Meeting With Bush's Lawyer Involved Rove
There has been a lot of speculation about why Fitzgerald met with President Bush's private lawyer, James Sharp, just before the Indictment against Lewis Libby was returned. I thought it was to give the President a heads-up on the results of the investigation and let him know only Libby was going to be indicted.
The New York Times today reports "discussions" between Sharp and Fitz regarding Rove. It doesn't say when they took place, but it seems to fit that it would have been that last meeting.
Mr. Fitzgerald no longer seems to be actively examining some of the more incendiary questions involving Mr. Rove. At one point, he explored whether Mr. Rove misrepresented his role in the leak case to President Bush - an issue that led to discussions between Mr. Fitzgerald and James E. Sharp, a lawyer for Mr. Bush, an associate of Mr. Rove said.
