A favorite blogger (Billmon) presents another option open to the special prosecutor, delivered by none other than John Dean of Watergate fame. Dean knows a lot about these things and thinks that there may be no indictments next week. However, I agree with Billmon that Dean might not be right.
Here's Billmon's take:
"But I think Dean is wrong this time, even though he's right to warn against the overheated rumors now chasing each other through both Left and Right Blogostan. I think Fitzgerald is poised to indict, and while the list of defendants may be short -- Rove, Libby plus a few lower-level munchkins -- I think the charges will be both broad and numerous, including unauthorized disclosure of classified information, theft of government property, conspiracy, obstruction and some combination of perjury and/or false statement charges. I wouldn't even be surprised if the Intelligence Identities Protection Act rears its serpentine head after all -- depending on the means, motives and opportunities of Bob Novak's second source."
Cannot wait.
