Rove to be indicted for perjury (and maybe more)

Jason Leopold of Truthout is reporting that Karl Rove "will be indicted in the CIA leak case and will immediately resign his White House job when the special counsel publicly announces the charges against him". Sources reveal that he has already told President Bush and Chief of Staff Bolten. Rove will apparently "be charged with perjury regarding when he was asked how and when he discovered that covert CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson worked for the agency, and whether he discussed her job with reporters".

This could turn out to be "the biggest political scandal [the White House] has faced thus far". Perjury is bad enough, not least since this case is all about who knew what when and who leaked what when, not to mention whether there was a White House campaign to punish Joseph Wilson by "outing" his wife, but there could be more: "Sources close to the case said there is a strong chance Rove will also face an additional charge of obstruction of justice, adding that Fitzgerald has been working meticulously over the past few months to build an obstruction case against Rove because it 'carries more weight' in a jury trial and is considered a more serious crime.

I wonder how the White House spin machine will spin this...

And, for his part, would Rove ever pull a Libby and turn on his superiors? Would he give them up to save himself? Would he sacrifice loyalty for the sake of narrow self-interest? I'm already looking forward to the trial.
