Comments on: Rover On A Leash https://whynow.dumka.us/2006/06/13/rover-on-a-leash/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Thu, 15 Jun 2006 05:07:58 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Steve Bates https://whynow.dumka.us/2006/06/13/rover-on-a-leash/comment-page-1/#comment-14355 Thu, 15 Jun 2006 05:07:58 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/2006/06/13/rover-on-a-leash/#comment-14355 Let the right-wing nutjobs cheer all they want. This may be over, or it may not, and they don’t know any more than we do whether it is or isn’t over.

Rove’s lawyer says Rove is cleared. There are other possible… one might say likely… explanations of Rove’s not being charged now. Do you think Cheney sleeps well these days?

Rove may be as capable of ratf**king Democrats now as he ever was, but his political effectiveness within the GOP is bound to be impaired. The whole process can’t have been good for his career.

As to Fitzgerald, he’s just doing what good prosecutors do. And good prosecutors don’t attempt to bring charges if they don’t have the evidence to convict. As Christy Hardin Smith of firedoglake explained (I’m paraphrasing), a prosecutor doesn’t try to indict just because the target is a total sleaze and may be guilty as sin; it’s not the prosecutor’s job to determine sleaziness.

Personally, I don’t think we’ve seen the end of this.
