to the proceedings say Official A is Rove. No surprise.

1. Yeah, except it'll be incredibly hard to indict Rove for that reason...

2. did he lie and/or obstruct?

4. One would assume.

I'm not saying Rove's not going to be indicted; I'm just saying it's going to be hard to prove that particular charge.

6. What is easy is

perjury.

3. Unless Rove told the same lies as Libby to the jury.

Or even investigators.

Rove is thinking about flipping. That's why there is the delay.

5. Again, I'm not saying he's not going to be indicted...

See post #4. :)
