Could this be the reason he stepped away from policy decisions?
Top White House aide Karl Rove arrived at the federal courthouse Wednesday for his fifth grand jury appearance in the Valerie Plame affair.
Escorted by his lawyer Robert D. Luskin, Rove went into the building for a closed-door session with the panel and Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, who is heading up the inquiry into who leaked Plame’s status as a CIA officer to the news media in 2003.
Among other things the prosecutor is investigating why Rove originally failed to disclose to prosecutors that he had talked to Time magazine reporter Matt Cooper about the CIA status of Plame.

Could there be an indictment in Rove’s future? That might mess up his plans for the 2006 mid-terms. Oh, darn.
