"Hollinger Inc., Conrad Black's former Toronto-based holding company, is co-operating with U.S. prosecutors who indicted the former press baron in exchange for avoiding possible charges in connection with the diversion of funds."please save us patrick. please hurt richard perle. (what the fuck is happening with that Wells Notice?)
* jeralyn:
"Wayne Madsen, whom I have not read previously, is reporting there will be an announcement of Karl Rove's indictment Friday. His story somewhat tracks Jason's Leopold's article, except he says the meeting at Luskin's office Friday was not for 15 hours, Rove wasn't given 24 hours to get his affairs in order and he adds that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales met with the grand jury on May 12 and was advised by them that Rove would be indicted... Madsen says that some of Jason's information may have emanated from within the Rove camp as a means of deflection.where it stops, nobody knows...
[]
I do think Rove will be indicted. Friday has seemed like the most logical day for a while. If Madsen is correct that the Libby grand jury voted on October 21 although the Indictment wasn't filed until October 28, and we learn on May 19 that Rove is indicted, then Jason may also have been correct in saying the grand jury had already indicted Rove by the afternoon of May 12 when Fitz met with Team Rove. Jason's article did say the Indictment would be revealed during sometime this week but the date was unsure.
Is this just a case of the same people spinning both Madsen and Jason? Or was Jason correct except for minor details and Madsen is also correct, just refining some of those details?
I doubt we will ever learn whether Fitz really met with Luskin last Friday. I'm not sure it matters, other than if they did meet, then Team Rove lied in denying it and the blogosphere owes Jason an apology for relentlessly bashing him this week.

I guess we'll all have to just wait and see. If tomorrow is really the date, the mainstream media should be all over it by this afternoon."

Okay.
As luck would have it, I actually have a "source" in Patton Boggs.
Unfortunately for us, he was not in DC for the past two weeks, so he cannot comment on what did or did not happen on Friday May 12.
But he can confirm three things:
1)The week after Rove testified to the GJ (first week of May, the last time my source was there), my source personally saw Rove at Patton Boggs on several occasions.
2) There is indeed a 4th floor at Patton Boggs.
3) He's pretty sure there are conference rooms on that floor, but he's not 100% sure. HE says all the floors look pretty much the same, and he can't remember anything particularly important about the 4th floor.
SO there you have it. Not terribly enlightening, but still consistent with Leopold's story.
That same Wayne madsen Report says that Luskin, as an Officer of the Court, will be facing obstruction of justice charges flowing from his conversation with V. Novak. Now woooooodn't that be loverrrrrly?
We've been getting these rumblings for long enough that I'm almost wondering what the point of them has been. What have we been missing while burning energy on this?
Mind you, if it (finally) happens, I'll down a beer and dance a jig in celebration...

They'll be indicted in the morning
Ding dong, the bells are gonna chime
They'll be indicted in the morning
Fitz, get 'em to the court on time...
(sorry, couldn't resist ;) )
Thanxxx Don!!!! We really should pass that one around.
P.S. In fact, I think I'll sing that to myself all night. I LOVE it.
thnx viget. i wonder if there's much chatter arouind PB about what went down there last week.
kathleen - it'd be oh-so-great to see GBL go down as well.
Don - i don't think we're missing anything - becuase this whole rove/leopold thing has been sub-terranean essentially. perhaps it was *intended* to make people jump at the new shiny object - but most of the a-listers (and msm) have ignored it...
praps we'll be singing ding-dong-the-bitch-is-dead :-)
