The NYTimes is reporting that VP Cheney’s Chief of Staff Scooter Libby likely will be indicted Friday on charges of making false statements to the grand jury. More from the article:

Karl Rove, President Bush’s senior adviser and deputy chief of staff, will not be charged on Friday, but will remain under investigation, people briefed officially about the case said. As a result, they said, the special counsel in the case, Patrick J. Fitzgerald, was likely to extend the term of the federal grand jury beyond its scheduled expiration on Friday.

That’s odd because according to this report from the Washington Post:

The term of the current grand jury has been extended once and cannot be lengthened again, according to federal rules.

That same WaPo article noted that a new grand jury could be impaneled. I don’t know which article is correct as far as the grand jury point goes. But it appears Rove is still going to be under investigation regardless. We’ll know more in a few hours, I’m sure.
