If Booman And Jason Leopold are Right (UPDATED)

UPDATE: William Pitt says

"I just got off the phone with Jason Leopold who clarified something for me that is pretty damned important. In his article, he said:

"During the course of that meeting, Fitzgerald served attorneys for former Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove with an indictment charging the embattled White House official with perjury and lying to investigators related to his role in the CIA leak case, and instructed one of the attorneys to tell Rove that he has 24 hours to get his affairs in order, high level sources with direct knowledge of the meeting said Saturday morning."

In point of fact, those 24 hours are "business hours," i.e. starting on Monday.

"Jeez, Jason," I said, "we might want to put that into the essay. Half the planet thought 24 hours was 24 hours. They thought the deal would go down today."

So. Monday at the very earliest, but more like Tuesday or Wednesday.



...then we have another explanation for why Bush wants Monday prime time to talk about "immigration" and the need to deploy the National Guard on our southern border.
