Top White House aide Karl Rove has been told by prosecutors he won't be charged with any crimes in the investigation into the leak of a CIA officer's identity, his lawyer said Tuesday, lifting a heavy burden from one of President Bush's most trusted advisers.
It is clear that when a case involved high ranking political officials (from either party), even very powerful prosecutors may not have all the tools needed to get all the information needed to prove a case. The administration worked hard to muddy the water and traditional legal processes have difficultly when that happens. So, now the best hope for holding Rove (and others) accountable for his treasonous outing of a covert CIA agent will be a congressional investigation, and that will not happen until the Democrats have control of at least one of the houses of congress. A congress that lacks the courage to investigate domestic spying, will never have the nads to investigate what may be the most powerful republican in the land.
Another reason to vote Democrat in 2006. Without proper check in place our government will become even more corrupt.
