Steve Clemons -- who's been about the hottest source for up-to-the-minute Plame news -- hasn't let go just because he was run over on a crosswalk today. Photo of hospitalized Clemons at his blog. Still, he's typing away and has this to add at the end of this day of waiting:
I was informed that the press conference would be called tomorrow, Thursday.
There are rumors now flying that the press conference may be Friday -- but I have not spoken to any source about that. The one interesting tidbit that came my way by way of an unnamed senior American journalist is this:
My sense is that the Rove team is feeling more confident today, the Libby team despondent
This is quite fascinating -- and could mean nothing. . .or everything. If Rove did not receive a letter yesterday and Libby did -- then Rove may have missed a bullet.
Alternative, Rove may be cited for lying to an FBI officer and not with full-fledged perjury and obstruction of justice, which many think Libby will be facing.
I have no other information on the number of individuals to be indicted, and can't offer substantiation of any kind for the nuanced comment above -- but I share it because it's intriguing and may mean that the VP's office is going to carry the heavy load of responsibility for the Plame affair. Karl may survive -- but still not sure.
Here's the latest and hottest from Think Progress.
