"Note" Notes

My Notes from ABC's The Note:
  • Note predicts someone will resign by the end of the day: If you were the wagering type, you would bet that by the time the sun sets tonight over the Potomac River: Scooter Libby will have been indicted; Karl Rove's future will seem at once more secure and less so; the world will finally know what Patrick Fitzgerald's voice sounds like; a new or extended grand jury of an indeterminate life span will be a very big Gang of 500 preoccupation; discussions of the pros, cons, and possibilities of a plea deal will have filled hours and hours of cable news time and many blog column inches; a fresh batch of pieces about the nature of second-term slides will be sketched out and assigned; Trent Lott's prediction about how long it will have taken people to forget Harriet Miers will turn out to have been understated; and at least one office in Northwest Washington will have been cleaned out.
  • We’ll know what’s going on by noon: An "information release" will take place at noon ET also at the Department of Justice.
  • I want to see this video: More from Travers: "The President was definitely in a good mood — he came out and did a quick head fake (basketball player like move — very Allen Iverson head fake especially for someone with a bum knee) as if he would come talk to us and then went the other way and started smiling and sort of laughing. He then pretended not to hear us shouting (Reagan ear cup thing).
  • Did Jon Karl call Karl Rove after I left?: ABC News' Jonathan Karl reports "Rove has been told that although he is not to be indicted today, the investigation continues. He is not out of the woods yet."
