Rove may still be indicted. The source for this story is Rove's lawyer. That is not a credible source. The reporter who reported about the sealed indictment of Rove stands by his story. Also, Rove is clearly guilty so Fitzgerald should have a very hard time explaining why he would not indict. Also, there are other major crimes Rove may be indicted for.

Truthout reporter stands by claim Rove was indicted

Published: Tuesday June 13, 2006

Jason Leopold, the Truthout.org reporter who asserted May 13 that Karl Rove had been indicted in the CIA leak case, told the syndicated Ed Schultz radio show that he stands by his original report.

Leopold also refused to identify his sources, who he said he would name if he was misled.

"I'm standing by that what we were told was accurate," Leopold said.

"Certainly if some bad information was given, we'll decide what the appropriate thing to do [is]," he added. "But if something did happen four weeks ago, [and] something happened in the past four weeks in Karl Rove's favor...how does that make me wrong?"

Truthout editor Mark Ash also continues to stand by the indictment report and a second piece yesterday in which Leopold asserted that Rove's indictment might be sealed.

"We are stunned by the magnitude of the reaction to the article we published yesterday morning," Ash said. "We have put our cards on the table. We invite Mr. Luskin to do the same."

"To clarify: The entire basis for the information that 'Rove has been cleared' comes from a verbal statement by Karl Rove's attorney. No one else confirms that. As Karl Rove's attorney Robert Luskin is bound to act - in all regards - in Rove's best interest. We question his motives."

No indication has been given of the nature of Leopold's appearance. He has said previously that he would out his sources if he believed he had been misled.

Leopold, who previously wrote for Salon and Dow Jones, wrote freelance articles for RAW STORY before his departure in January.
