Is This The End Of The Line For Karl Rove?

Many months before Karl Rove corrected his statements to the Grand Jury in the Valerie Plame case, his lawyer was told that the president's strategist might have disclosed Plame's CIA name (on July 11, 2003), to Time's Matt Cooper.

Uh-oh. Doesn't this mean endgame? Doesn't this make a perjury conviction a foregone conclusion? I don't really know. My attorney would know, but she's asleep (and she might not take kindly to me going downstairs and asking a fine point of law at midnight, just so I can keep the facts straight[1]). I know we'll hear over the next few days just what Prosecutor Fitzgerald has in store for Karl Rove. . .

[1] That presumes that keeping facts straight or maintaining any kind of normal division between fact, art, fantasy, or wild exaggeration, and telling the truth, is a mission of this blog. It's all true whether it happened or not. It all happened whether it's true or not. Which, is perhaps not a part of this footnote, but the germ of a new poem. Or both.
