There will not be any criminal charges for the Bush DOJ officials in the USA firings but it doesn't rule out misleading statements to Congress:
Legal Times:
Conyers issued a statement (.pdf) Wednesday evening that said Dannehy's determination does not exonerate Bush administration DOJ officials.
"[T]he letter does not conclude that Administration officials testified truthfully to Congress on this subject," Conyers said in the statement. "Indeed, the letter reaffirms DOJ’s prior finding that Alberto Gonzales and Kyle Sampson made ‘inaccurate and misleading’ statements. Despite coming to this conclusion, however, it concludes only that there was insufficient evidence to make the legal showing needed for a criminal case."
And this doesn't rule out civil lawsuit and/or complaint filing to the bar association to the Bush DOJ officials by the nine fired U.S. Attorneys. Now that the case is closed, what about Karl Rove?
