WH Staff Shuffle -- OR -- WH Staff Indictments
Are the recent changes of staff (resignations) at the White House because King George The Decider wants to shake things up? Me thinks not. Sharing my suspicions is Jason Leopold from Truthout.org. Take a look from Jason's article concerning Karl Rove for an example:Just as the news broke Wednesday about Scott McClellan resigning as White House press secretary and Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove shedding some of his policy duties, Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald met with the grand jury hearing evidence in the CIA leak case and introduced additional evidence against Rove, attorneys and other US officials close to the investigation said. ........ Fitzgerald is said to have introduced more evidence Wednesday alleging Rove lied to FBI investigators and the grand jury when he was questioned about how he found out that Valerie Plame Wilson worked for the CIA and whether he shared that information with the media, attorneys close to the case said. Fitzgerald told the grand jury that Rove lied to investigators and the prosecutor eight out of the nine times he was questioned about the leak and also tried to cover-up his role in disseminating Plame Wilson's CIA status to at least two reporters.FINALLY it looks like Fitzgerald has Karl in his crosshairs. But this also raises further speculation as to what the real reason was for the recent changes in WH staff. Are Andy Card and Scott McClellan being looked at also? Was McClellan participating in the cover-up when he voiced support for Karl Rove to the Wite House Press Corps and is he under suspicion? There is reason to think that if not targets, at the very minimum they could be ordered to testify. If Karl is indicted, wouldn't it stand to reason Fitzgerald would want to know of any conversations (or actions taken) by these two? We can only hope that if Fitz is going to nab Karl, it better be very soon - we sure don't want him out doing his usual smear and slash to Democratic candidates in the upcoming elections. With the amount of Iraq war veterans entering races as Democrats, it is almost a certainty he would pull a "Max Cleland" on them to sully their reputations and diminish their courageous service to their country.
