It was back in July of this year when Lawrence O'Donnell gave us the gift of a post titled "It's Rove." He was exactly right.
Today, he has more insight in to the Rove/Plame case:
If Karl Rove's lawyer, Bob Luskin, is still as easy to read as he has been since I broke the story that his client was Matt Cooper's source, then we now know that Rove has received a target letter from Patrick Fitzgerald. How do we know it? Luskin refuses to deny it.O'Donnell explains the role of the "target letter" in a prosecutor's strategy. Basically, it's a pre-indictment strategy to turn someone. Then, he makes a prediction:
[A]t least three high level Bush Administration personnel indicted and possibly one or more very high level unindicted co-conspirators.Think about that. How high is "very high level," especially when it's contrasted with "high level?" High level would seem to be Rove or Libby, since they've been the subject of debate all along. But "very high level"? That sounds like it's getting to a cabinet level or even a Cheney.
Or Bush himself.
I hope he's exactly right again.
