At Least That's what the Washington Post thinks.
Today's Headline Reads: "Trial Could Pit Libby's Interests Against Bush's". (They can only wish.)
Libby might cop a plea to avoid a public trial:
"Obviously, the best thing for the Republican Party is to have this all end as quickly as possible," said former representative Vin Weber (R-Minn.), a close White House adviser. "But at the end of the day, you cannot ask a guy who all of us think is an upstanding and honorable guy to give up his legal rights."
Bush dodged a bullet:
A senior White House adviser, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive topic, said the Bush team believes it dodged a bullet when Fitzgerald charged only Libby on Friday and then pointedly said in his news conference that the indictment should not be read as a condemnation of the war or its run-up.
Rove is left dangling:
Fitzgerald appeared prepared to indict Rove heading into last week for making false statements, according to three people close to the probe. But that changed during a private meeting last Tuesday between Fitzgerald and Rove's attorney, Robert Luskin. It's not clear precisely what happened in that meeting, but two sources briefed on it said Luskin discussed new information that gave Fitzgerald "pause."
Much a do about nothing:
Political FootBall suspects at the end of the day and after millions of tax dollars spent it will all be for nought.So shoot me.
