Rove Will Not Be Charged

The NYT announces today that Karl Rove will not be charged in the Valerie Plame case. I’m still looking for a copy of Luskin’s statement, but it includes the following:

On June 12, 2006, Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald formally advisedus that he does not anticipate seeking charges against Karl Rove.

In deference to the pending case, we will not make any further publicstatements about the subject matter of the investigation. We believethat the Special Counsel’s decision should put an end to the baselessspeculation about Mr. Rove’s conduct.

Karl Rove won’t be frog-marched. But I’m not sure this means the case will end with Libby.
