As I expected, Jason Leopold has possibly broken the biggest scoop of the Bush administration. It looks like Rove has been given 24 hours to get his affairs in order before he must turn himself in.

Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald spent more than half a day Friday at the offices of Patton Boggs, the law firm representing Karl Rove.

During the course of that meeting, Fitzgerald served attorneys for former Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove with an indictment charging the embattled White House official with perjury and lying to investigators related to his role in the CIA leak case, and instructed one of the attorneys to tell Rove that he has 24 hours to get his affairs in order, high level sources with direct knowledge of the meeting said Saturday morning.

In other news, Fitzgerald has released an amazing exhibit (.pdf). It is a copy of Joe Wilson’s editotial that was marked up by Dick Cheney. Cheney actually wrote on the newspaper:

Have they done this sort of thing before?

Send an Amb to answer a question?

Do we ordinarily send people out pro bono to work for us?

Or did his wife send him on a junket?

Talk about a smoking gun!!!!!!!!!!!
