POLITICS - Rove In A jumpsuit?

And I don't mean a parachute or jogging jumpsuit. I mean the orange jumpsuit with DCC in big bold letters on the back (Department of Correctional Custody).

"MSNBC reports Rove believes he is in legal jeopardy" in Raw Story

Karl Rove has described his three and a half hour meeting with a grand jury as grueling, and is more worried about being prosecuted than ever, MSNBC is reporting.

Raw Story has also learned that an MSNBC report tonight revealed that one of Rove's lawyers said the presidential adviser described his fifth grand jury appearance as "hell." MSNBC's David Shuster appeared live on Keith Olbermann's 8pm show this evening and stated that Rove was surprised by the tone of the questions as well as the length of time he was required to testify.

The three and a half hour duration is considered highly unusual for a fifth appearance before a grand jury, Shuster reported. Also not boding well for Rove is the fact that the grand jury plans to meet tomorrow. Some are speculating that an indictment for Rove may be handed up tomorrow, though others have claimed such a fast turnaround time is unlikely.

One MSNBC commentator claimed that the fifth appearance also ties the record held by Betty Currie, former President Bill Clinton's personal secretary.


The article includes a transcript of the MSNBC report.

If this indictment happens I, among many others, will throw a potential "going away" party and Rove would not be a guest. We then could historically place him next to that other guy, you know, Hitler's Propaganda Minister.
