Karl Rove Called to Testify Again

Karl Rove has been called to testify again, this time receiving a formal warning before hand that there would be no guarantee that he wouldn't be charged with a crime. He didn't get that last time.

Here's an AP article about it:

Federal prosecutors have accepted an offer from presidential adviser Karl Rove to give 11th-hour testimony in the case of a CIA officer's leaked identity but have warned they cannot guarantee he won't be indicted, according to people directly familiar with the investigation.

The persons, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because of grand jury secrecy, said Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has not made any decision yet on whether to file criminal charges against the longtime confidant of President Bush or others.

The U.S. attorney's manual requires prosecutors not to bring witnesses before a grand jury if there is a possibility of future criminal charges unless they are notified in advance that their grand jury testimony can be used against them in a later indictment.

Rove has already made at least three grand jury appearances and his return at this late stage in the investigation is unusual.

The prosecutor did not give Rove similar warnings before his earlier grand jury appearances.

On a side note, I know I've been posting more about politics and less about bullshit lately, but this stuff is important. If more people knew or cared about this stuff, it wouldn't happen.
