Via Daily Kos<br><br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Could Bush already be indicted in Rovegate?<br>by Mark Arsenault<br><br>Sat Jul 16th, 2005 at 13:08:28 PDT<br><br>In 1974, Nixon was secretly indicted as a co-conspirator in Watergate. I'm not a lawyer or anything, and I'm just speculating, but is it possible that Bush himself could already be indicted in the Valarie Plame case without the public's knowledge? <br>According to the Legal Information Institute, Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, III., Rule 6 (4):<br>"Sealed Indictment.<br>The magistrate judge to whom an indictment is returned may direct that the indictment be kept secret until the defendant is in custody or has been released pending trial. The clerk must then seal the indictment, and no person may disclose the indictments existence except as necessary to issue or execute a warrant or summons."<br>Do any kos lawyers out there know more about this and the likelyhood of this happening in this case, or know why it was done in the Watergate case? I supppose it is a matter of national security?<br>It would be a nice suprise to one day hear that Bush had been convicted before we even knew he was indicted.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://racerx.dailykos.com/story/2005/7/16/16828/1838">racerx.dailykos.com/story...16828/1838</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
