His satanic rotundness, Karl, still joined at the hip to George, is a subject, not a witness, in Fitz's case

anybody who thinks karl's role vis á vis the president has changed had better think again... you can bleach the stripes on a tiger, but...

"Karl could be called the janitor and his role with the President would not change," said a Bush friend.

witness, subject, target... let's hope blumenthal's right and the escalation continues...

Last week, on April 12, Libby counter-filed to demand extensive documents in the possession of the prosecutor. His filing, written by his lawyers, reveals that he intends to put Karl Rove on the stand as a witness to question him about his leaking of Plame's name to reporters and presumably his role in the "concerted action" against Wilson. In his request for documents from Rove's files, Libby dropped mention of Rove's current legal status.

For months, Rove's attorney, Robert Luskin, has assured the press that his client, who was believed to be vulnerable to indictment for perjury, is in the clear. But Libby insisted that he was entitled to "disclosure of such documents" in Rove's files "even if Mr. Rove remains a subject of a continuing grand jury investigation".

Karl Rove is a subject of Fitzgerald's investigation - this is the headline buried in Libby's filing.

(thanks to raw story...)
