Last week, Obamas campaign lawyer filed a compliant with the Federal Elections Commission over Roves organization, Crossroads GPS. He claimed the organization was unlawfully hiding its donors from the public by registering as a social welfare organization.
When asked about the complaint on Fox News, Rove went off on a tangent, claiming the lawyer once represented a woman who accused him of encouraging her to investigate the sexual shenanigans of a Democratic governor.
Completely bizarre, Maddow said. One of the strangest, bluntest and most non-sequitur diversionary tactics I have seen on any subject in this campaign season. The only reason I think it might be important is because Karl Rove is supposed to be a slick guy, right?
But it turns out what Rove said wasnt just bizarre it wasnt even true. Obamas campaign lawyer Robert Bauer had no connection to the woman who accused Rove of wrongdoing.
