Rumors are a flying and speculation runs wild. Will Rove get indicted, could it be tomorrow, will he resign? Rove met for the 5th time on Wednesday with Fitz and tomorrow the grand jury convenes for another session. Some say its too early to get an indictment just after 2 days but that hasn't stopped other juries. If an indictment comes down tomorrow, could this spell the end of the Rove era? Will Rove be able to get involved in races this November or will he have to take a seat? If Rove is out of commission, this may bode well for Dems, unless he calls the shots behind the curtain where he is most dangerous. One could look at it this way, if Rove is indicted, no Repub would want to be caught in a 1 mile radius of him let alone take advice.I will keep u posted on the latest of Rove's fate as more news becomes available.

MSNBC reports Rove believes he is in legal jeopardy
Karl Rove has described his three and a half hour meeting with a grand jury as grueling, and is more worried about being prosecuted than ever, MSNBC is reporting.
RAW STORY has also learned that an MSNBC report tonight revealed that one of Rove's lawyers said the presidential adviser described his fifth grand jury appearance as "hell." MSNBC's David Shuster appeared live on Keith Olbermann's 8pm show this evening and stated that Rove was surprised by the tone of the questions as well as the length of time he was required to testify.
Shuster agreed with Olbermann that it was "easy to imagine" that Rove's legal situation was the cause of his recent reduction of responsibilities. However, he added, "I don't see there's any chance that Karl Rove's going to resign, barring an indictment."
The three and a half hour duration is considered highly unusual for a fifth appearance before a grand jury, Shuster reported. Also not boding well for Rove is the fact that the grand jury plans to meet tomorrow. Some are speculating that an indictment for Rove may be handed up tomorrow, though others have claimed such a fast turnaround time is unlikely.
One MSNBC commentator claimed that the fifth appearance also ties the record held by Betty Currie, former President Bill Clinton's personal secretary.
