Is the Delay Case Falling Apart?

I see some of the same posters who recently had Karl Rove charged, found guilty, and jailed.

From your mouth to God's ears.

I'm not!!

I'm saying that richie's take that "Well, Dem's are breaking campaign laws too, so don't be so naive" as an OK for DeLay's illegal actions is like saying "Well, John Q. Public shoplifts, so why don't we all shoplift?". It's a cynical way to look at the world around you. But I guess there's something wrong with America expecting more from our elected officials.

My take isn't, wasn't, and never will be "Hey, if one side does it, it must be okay for the other side to do it", and how you reached that conclusion is beyond me.

Your comment:

In the tit for tat political world today, you can't tell me that the Republicans aren't searching high and low for someone on the left to indict...somehow, no one's turned up yet...interesting...

Now I will certainly apologize if I read your post wrong but this seems to infer that because Republicans aren't finding dirt on Democrats, that Democrats don't play in the dirt. Again, I apologize if I read it wrong but it seems either pretty naive at best and at worst, partisan.

And my comment:

In the tit for tat political world today, you're suggesting there are no Democrats participating in illegal fundraising? Interesting. Naive, but interesting.

There's no between the lines there. Nowhere do I suggest it's okay for either side. And nowhere do I suggest that everyone does it. I simply commented that if you believe it isn't happening by one side just because the other side isn't pointing fingers, you're naive.

Again, if I read your post wrong I apologize. And if it's just partisanship, I apologize for calling you naive.

You might be a bit premature with that post there, Joe.

Rove Said to Testify in CIA Leak Case

By JOHN SOLOMON, Associated Press Writer Thu Oct 6, 3:16 PM ET

WASHINGTON - Federal prosecutors have accepted an offer from presidential adviser Karl Rove to give 11th-hour testimony in the case of a
CIA officer's leaked identity but have warned they cannot guarantee he won't be indicted, according to people directly familiar with the investigation.

The persons, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because of grand jury secrecy, said Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has not made any decision yet on whether to file criminal charges against the longtime confidant of
President Bush or others.

The U.S. attorney's manual requires prosecutors not to bring witnesses before a grand jury if there is a possibility of future criminal charges unless they are notified in advance that their grand jury testimony can be used against them in a later indictment.

Rove has already made at least three grand jury appearances and his return at this late stage in the investigation is unusual.

The prosecutor did not give Rove similar warnings before his earlier grand jury appearances.

Remember...he who 's last, 's longest.

Well aware of it. From the article, it sounds like Rove volunteered to testify this time. We will see.
