Billmon: Rove's Other Lie

The Washington Post confirms that Turdblossom ain't out of the woods yet -- and that Patrick Fitzgerald has more on his mind than just Karl's email habits:

A source familiar with the discussion between Rove and Fitzgerald said the Tuesday meeting was about a lot more than "just an e-mail from Levine." He would not elaborate.

Rove remains a focus of the CIA leak probe. He has told friends it is possible he still will be indicted for providing false statements to the grand jury.

"Everyone thinks it is over for Karl and they are wrong," a source close to Rove said. The strategist's legal and political advisers "by no means think the part of the investigation concerning Karl is closed."

This is a welcome antidote to Michael Isikoff's foolish Newsweek story, in which a two-year-long investigation is halted in its tracks because Karl Rove didn't tell his flunky that he just outed a CIA agent to Bob Novak, prompting the special prosecutor to sashay over to the president's own criminal defense attorney to tell him he's going to indict somebody else's client.
