Reuters is reporting White House officials will learn today whether special prosecutor Patrick FItzgerald will seek indictments over the Bush administration’s outing of undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame. Reports indicate that the grand jury could indict both President Bush’s chief advisor Karl Rove and VIce President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff Lewis “Scooter” Libby for perjury or conspiracy. Both Rove and Libby failed to disclose key information about their role in the leak to the grand jury. Late last week Fitzgerald launched a website prompting speculation that he set it up to post the indictments. Fitzgerald has already posted documents that reveal the Justice Department gave him authority two years ago to expand his inquiry to include any criminal attempts to interfere with the investigation.
