Looks like Jason Leopold was out to lunch on the Rove indictment after all. And I took the bait, breathlessly spreading the news both here and on my blog.
While I don’t doubt that Jason Leopold believed the story in good faith based on multiple sources, it looks like he would have done well to vet those sources.
And it looks like I would do well to vet mine in the future: and I’m fairly certain that Mr. Leopold won’t be among them–at least until and unless he can tell us WHO he talked to, and WHY things didn’t pan out as he reported…
Nevertheless, I still do believe that Rove will be indicted. It’s just a matter of time.
In any case, mea culpa.
