More on Rove

By Kudlow Money Politic$

Investigations before a grand jury can wreck the life of any citizen, particularly if that citizen is one whose name is as well known as Karl Rove’s. All President Bush has ventured is that he will withhold judgment about Rove's involvement in leaking the identity of a CIA operative until a federal criminal investigation is complete:

"This is a serious investigation," Bush said at the end of a meeting with his Cabinet, with Rove sitting just behind him. "I will be more than happy to comment on this matter once this investigation is complete.

The grand jury hearing testimony on the Plame case has been operating much longer than expected, causing certain people to speculate on whether the prosecutor is preparing to mount charges of perjury against senior Administration officials. Whether Rove is one of these is unclear – the prosecutor has said that Rove is a “subject” but not a “target” of the investigation.

As for the prosecutor himself – he is not a tool of the Left. He is simply an extremely committed, intelligent, and successful prosecutor, hugely admired by James Comey and other leading lights of the legal profession. Patrick Fitzgerald, head of the US Attorney’s office in Chicago, has also gotten indictments and convictions of some of the world’s most dangerous terrorists – including an indictment, in 1998, of Osama Bin Laden. You can read more about Fitzgerald here. But it’s safe to say that most of the politicization of this story will be coming from the press and from Dems on the hill. Thank goodness for small favors.
