"Scooter" Libby indicted, resigns; click for the PDF of the indictment. The rumor mill says that Rove was supposed to be indicted today as well, but his lawyer provided last minute evidence to hold it off -- hence, the continuing investigation. If he does get indicted, I assume he'll immediately resign as well. (7) #

Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo (among others) thinks that Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation into the White House leak of the CIA identity of Valerie Plame has turned into a conspiracy hunt. Specifically, he posits that the White House Iraq Group, whose job it was to sell the Iraq war and included Karl Rove and Scooter Libby, may be the key to the investigation. If this is true and Fitzgerald goes after them, this could turn into a massive scandal for the Bush administration. I'm not sure why any president would want to serve two terms anymore -- it pretty much guarantees disgrace. (0) #
