WASHINGTON — Top White House aide Karl Rove has been told by prosecutors he won't be charged with any crimes in the investigation into the leak of a CIA officer's identity, his lawyer said today, lifting a heavy burden from one of President Bush's most trusted advisers.

Attorney Robert Luskin said that special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald informed him of the decision on Monday, ending months of speculation about the fate of Rove, the architect of Bush's 2004 re-election now focused on stopping Democrats from capturing the House or Senate in this November's elections.

Double fuck on that one, here we go again. And I guess Rove will go back to being the darling of the Whitehouse press corps. Total whitewash!!

His day will come.
This should be enogh to raise his confidence to a level were he can be nailed for shoplifting.

He now really believes he's above the law, watch him start exploring the limits more boldly.

We can hope that the reason they are letting him off is that he made some kind of plea bargain that includes pointing the finger at Cheney... but of course we know that won't happen. Scheise...
