Has Karl Rove Been Indicted? Who You Gonna Believe? A Bunch of Liberals? Or Lying Treasonous Karl Rove?
And the battle heats up. Truthout has a new article up which effectively charges that Rove spokesman Marc Corallo and Rove Lawyer Robert Luskin are liars. Meanwhile, the defender of Saint Rove, spokesman Marc Corallo fires back that the folks at Truthout are: "bald-faced liars or completely delusional or both."Truthout continues to maintain that Karl Rove has been indicted, and claims it has "three independent sources confirming" the indictment.
Clearly, Truthout stands to take a major credibility hit, unlike the Rove camp, which has no credibility to lose. The Turdblossom has left a long and bloodied trail documenting an utter disregard for all things related to truth.
Truthout speculates that Rove may be cooperating with Patrick Fitzgerald, or turning state's evidence against Dick Cheney.
Turdblossom turning against a buddy to save his own hide? Mon Dieu!
Here's an excerpt from the Truthout article by Marc Ash. I'll put the link up later because the site is slammed and inaccessible at the moment, but Talkleft has this excerpt and more. (Update: here's the Truthout link.)
I'd like to break this posting into two categories: What we know, and what we believe. They will be clearly marked.
We know that we have now three independent sources confirming that attorneys for Karl Rove were handed an indictment either late in the night of May 12 or early in the morning of May 13. We know that each source was in a position to know what they were talking about. We know that the office of Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald will not confirm, will not deny, will not comment on its investigation or on our report. We know that both Rove's attorney Robert Luskin and Rove's spokesman Mark Corallo have categorically denied all key facts we have set forth. We know we have information that directly contradicts Luskin and Corallo's denials. We know that there were two network news crews outside of the building in Washington, DC that houses the offices of Patton Boggs, the law firm that represents Karl Rove. We know that the 4th floor of that building (where the Patton Boggs offices are located) was locked down all day Friday and into Saturday night. We know that we have not received a request for a retraction from anyone. And we know that White House spokesman Tony Snow now refuses to discuss Karl Rove - at all.
Further, we know - and we want our readers to know - that we are dependent on confidential sources. We know that a report based solely on information obtained from confidential sources bears some inherent risks. We know that this is - by far - the biggest story we have ever covered, and that we are learning some things as we go along. Finally, we know that we have the support of those who have always supported us, and that must now earn the support of those who have joined us as of late.
We now move on to what we believe. (If you are looking for any guarantees, please turn back now.)
Further - and again this is "What We Believe" - Rove may be turning state's evidence. We suspect that the scope of Fitzgerald's investigation may have broadened - clearly to Cheney - and according to one "off the record source" to individuals and events not directly related to the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame. We believe that the indictment which does exist against Karl Rove is sealed. Finally, we believe that there is currently a great deal of activity in the Plame investigation.
The deafening msm silence around the alleged Rove indictment continues, but look for a Howard Kurtz story on the Truthout claim that Fitzmas is coming.
