“‘The president said anyone involved would be gone,’ Reid said. ‘And we now know that Official A is Karl Rove. He’s still around. He should be let go.'” On the Sunday circuit, the Dems make the case for Rove’s dismissal, in keeping with Dubya’s earlier pledge to fire anyone involved in the Plame leak. And, last-minute Hail Mary notwithstanding, Rove still appears to be in legal trouble. “In prosecutorial parlance, this kind of awkward pseudonym [“Official A”] is often used for individuals who have not been indicted in a case but still face a significant chance of being charged. No other official in the investigation carries such an identifier.”

I’m completely ignorant about these things, but I hear that prosecutorial-type people are turning their eyes toward Cheney? Is this true or just wishful thinking?
Cheney will almost definitely be called to testifyat Libby’s trial. And he’s also definitely in the thick of the story — he’s the one who told Libby who Plame was and who likely gave the marching orders to discredit Wilson. On that subject, he’s already been caught out in a few lies, including lying to the American people on Meet the Press in 2003.
That being said, I’d bet he probably won’t get in legal trouble, although he has taken a huge hit politically, and is apparently no longer in the good graces of the Dauphin.
