CIA Officer Leak

It is not as simple as that, when you look at the statute. There is temporal element (I think the outee must have been working undercover during the prior 5 years) and there is an knowledge element. Based on what we knew when this was originally argued here, it is an uphill battle for those going after the leaker from a legal standpoint. That's not to say they won't try and it's not to say that they won't bog down DC for the next 3 years, but ultimately, I'd be surprised if there's a conviction.

If Whitewater taught us anything, it's that you don't need to be aiming for a conviction to get a good scandal going that can ruin lots of people.
ETA, plus, I'm pretty sure that if it's Rove, you guys will finally get your beloved perjury conviction. He's been before that Grand Jury a few times.
