Heehee! Innocent genius Karl Rove escapes the clutches of the left-fascist press!

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and AP: Prosecutors inform Rove he won't be charged in CIA leak case

Top White House aide Karl Rove has been told by prosecutors he won't be charged with any crimes in the investigation into leak of a CIA officer's identity, his lawyer said Tuesday, lifting a heavy burden from one of President Bush's most trusted advisers.

Attorney Robert Luskin said that special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald informed him of the decision on Monday, ending months of speculation about the fate of Rove, the architect of Bush's 2004 re-election now focused on stopping Democrats from capturing the House or Senate in this November's elections.

How does America's #1 commie-symp babykilling totalitarian feel about it? Here's Herr Doktor Spleen:

"He doesn't belong in the White House. If the president valued America more than he valued his connection to Karl Rove, Karl Rove would have been fired a long time ago," said Dean, the Democratic Party chairman, speaking Tuesday on NBC's "Today" show. "So I think this is probably good news for the White House, but it's not very good news for America."

I am glad Ol' Howie Spleen has finally come out definitively against the American judicial system. That clears things up nicely.

Stay tuned for more foaming at the mouth from Democrasses on this one, kiddies.

Here's Senator Ground Chuck asking Mr. Fitzgerald to break several laws:

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said he accepts Fitzgerald's decision to not seek Rove's indictment but called on him to ferret out the person who leaked the name of then-CIA operative Valerie Plame and whether the disclosure amounts to criminal wrongdoing.

Schumer also said that Fitzgerald should issue a report on his findings and any decisions to seek the indictment of others. "I have every confidence in this decision because it was made by an independent and fair minded prosecutor," the senator told reporters at the Capitol.

"It is not good enough to simply have a case for perjury. We still need to know who did the leak," Schumer added. "We still need to make sure that anyone who did that is given the appropriate punishment." (Thanks to ABC News for the heads up.)
