JUSTICE DEINED: Rove Won't be Charged in CIA Leak Case

The question to ask today is: Who got to Patrick Fitzgerald? Was he or his family threatened? Was he paid off? How in the world is it possible for Karl Rove to walk free?

The ring-leader of the most corrupt administration in history will now be free to master mind yet another election fraud. The American people deserve better. We deserve a justice system that holds everyone accountable, regardless of their wealth or influence.

This is a sad day.

Rove Won't Be Charged in CIA Leak Case

By DAVID JOHNSTON, The New York Times

WASHINGTON (June 13) -- The prosecutor in the C.I.A. leak case on Monday advised Karl Rove, the senior White House adviser, that he would not be charged with any wrongdoing, effectively ending the nearly three-year criminal investigation that had at times focused intensely on Mr. Rove.


The decision by the prosecutor, Patrick J. Fitzgerald, announced in a letter to Mr. Rove's lawyer, Robert D. Luskin, lifted a pall that had hung over Mr. Rove who testified on five occasions to a federal grand jury about his involvement in the disclosure of an intelligence officer's identity.

In a statement, Mr. Luskin said, "On June 12, 2006, Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald formally advised us that he does not anticipate seeking charges against Karl Rove." (full story)
