Cheney’s Chief of Staff Resigns
Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald held a press conference today on the CIA leak case as a grand jury handed down an indictment of a top Bush Administration official. I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, the Vice President’s Chief of Staff, was indicted on five counts. Two counts of perjury, one count of obstruction of justice and two counts of making false statements. As a result of the indictments, Libby has resigned from his post. If you would like to read the press conference in full, the New York Times has the transcript.Currently available on the website for Fitzgerald, a list of new documents released today (Adobe Acrobat required):

I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby Indictment
I think it is important to note the focus of Fitzgerald in this case. He refused to comment on separate issues from the case itself, and anybody not indicted today, specifically the President’s Chief of Staff Karl Rove.
