Special Prosecutor Update

Nah, there's not much new of substance. Lots of speculation, though. As we're waiting to see what Fitzgerald does, it seems many of the news reports are consolidating their information, getting everything in one place so they're ready to pounce when (and still if, keep in mind) Fitzgerald announces any indictments.

Today's Washington Post had an interesting tidbit about Rove testifying that his source "may have been" Scooter. (Someone else told him, as well, but he can't quite bring to mind who it might've been.) If even the White House is turning on Scooter now, it's safe to assume that he's pretty much done. The Post also pointed out that Fitzgerald has interviewed a couple of dozen or more administration staffers, so it's hard to tell who might end up in trouble.

THIS JUST IN: Friday's New York Times has a bit more clarification about Fitzgerald's process as he finishes up. As many have speculated, "lawyers involved in the case" claim the prosecutor's office is looking at criminal charges over whether Rove and Scooter "sought to conceal their actions and mislead prosecutors." Wow. I can't believe we have to go over this again. One more time, everybody: It's not the crime, it's the cover up!
