Report states Rove will be indicted Friday. (We hope)

Steven D over at Booman Tribune offers new hope to those of us who were burned (or at least confused) by the Truthout report last week that Rove was going to be indicted Friday. This is based on the Wayne Madsen Report dated May 17th which unfortunately does not have links to individual stories. So go to the WMR and scroll down if you want to see it.

It appears that the WMR confirms a lot of last weeks details, and provides the explanation that some of the confusing parts may have been put out by Rove supporters specifically to provide "...diversions and smokescreens." The WMR states Fitzgerald will follow the same pattern as he did when Libby was indicted. The indictment will be posted on Fitzgerald's website, it will be delivered, and there will be a news conference tomorrow.

The WMR also states that Rove's attorney, Luskin, is also a target of Fitzgerald's investigations "...as a result of a conversation with Time reporter Viveca Novak, in which Novak told Luskin that Rove was a source for Time's Matt Cooper. The special prosecutor, who has prosecuted one defense attorney in the Hollinger case, is reportedly investigating whether Luskin, as an officer of the court, may have violated laws on obstruction of justice."

So - based on the available Intel, there is a good chance Rove will be indicted tomorrow. There are multiple sources of the impending indictment, one of which sets tomorrow as the date of the announcement. The initial source was not correct about the date, but the second source confirms many details from the first source.

We should therefore keep one ear on the Washington news tomorrow and hope.
