Last Night's Promised Rove Update

I've been getting ready to go out of town, so I didn't get back here as quickly as I'd intended. But it looks like not that much has changed in the Karl Rove Watch since last night. Still no indictment. Still no further reports from any other media outlets. Jason Leopold's reputation is getting some serious examination, and it doesn't seem to be holding up so well. Tim Grieve has a very nice round up in Salon that goes over how we arrived at this point and some points out some questions that have haunted Leopold in the past.

But the reporter continued to stand by his story yesterday, claiming to have five sources, and Marc Ash, executive director of truthout, also went to the mat on the issue.

The story is accurate, and Karl Rove's attorneys have been served with an indictment.

In short, we had two sources close to the Fitzgerald investigation who were explicit about the information that we published, and a former high-ranking state department official who reported communication with a source who had "direct knowledge" of the meeting at Patton Boggs. In both instances, substantial detail was provided and matched.

We had confirmation. We ran the story.

So he's in for three sources. All we can do is and see, but the longer we wait, the sketchier the whole thing seems to become.
