Rove is guilty of leaking Plame's name, which is treason and perjury, so there are three possibilities here. Number one, Rove has flipped on someone else in the WH, perhaps someone more guilty than Rove himself, perhaps Dick Cheney. Cheney has already declared executive privilege to be above all such laws so they could be planning to let him "retire early" then try to get away with it. Plamegate was hatched primarily in Cheney's office and the VP is responsible. Cheney is also dead wood for this administration and maybe they'd love to replace him with a friendlier face, like Condi Rice. But either way, the crime was committed. Another possibility is that Fitzgerald was "gotten to" somehow. Because we can clearly see that Rove outed the CIA agent, then lied about it. So why isn't he being charged? Third possibility, the sealed indictment which was reported might not be against Rove, but might be against someone else besides Cheney, perhaps someone Rove is blaming for his own misconduct. Hadley, Armitage, Andy Card? WHo knows? Whatever the case, Rove is guilty, got away by the skin of his teeth this time but will be facing more serious charges again in the future. He is the single biggest political criminal out there, along with Tom Delay who is already indicted.
