Federal Prosecutors Decide Not to Indict Karl Rove in CIA Leak Case
Federal prosecutors have decided not to charge President Bush’s top advisor Karl Rove with any crimes in the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame. The prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has made no official statement but Rove’s attorney said early this morning that Fitzgerald announced the decision in a letter to him on Monday.
Rove had been at the center of the investigation for over two years and had been forced to testify on five occasions to a federal grand jury on his role in the outing of Plame, who was the wife of Iraq war critic Ambassador Joseph Wilson.
To date only one person in the Bush administration has been indicted in the leak case – Lewis Scooter Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff.
* David Corn, Washington editor of The Nation magazine. He runs a blog at http://DavidCorn.com. He is writing a book about the selling of the Iraq war and the CIA leak case.
