The Case Is Closing

I Smell Bacon!

SPECIAL PROSECUTOR PATRICK FITZGERALD is wrapping up his grand jury investigation into the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame. Whether indictments are coming remains unclear, but if they are we can expect them coming in a matter of days, perhaps as early as today.

Rumors around the blogosphere have been circulating. Rumors of Cheney’s upcoming resignation, Condi might replace him, Karl Rove and Scooter Libby might all receive indictments.

You can bet all of this is rattling the White House.

But what’s equally disturbing is how little media coverage this is getting. CNN? It’s barely on the home page; the article is “below the fold” under the non-descript “Poltics” heading. MSNBC? The New York Times is the only major media outlet that seems to be giving it top headline justice, but that could be resulting from their involvement in the investigation, with the much-maligned reporter Judith Miller.

Liberal media, my ass.
