Rove in hot seat? Did he lie to FBI???
Edited on Mon Nov-07-05 03:20 PM by kpete
Those close to the case say that Rove was caught up in a game of semantics when he was questioned by FBI investigators, insisting to federal agents that he was not the individual who had leaked Plame-Wilson’s identity to conservative columnist Robert Novak. Novak was the first to make public her name and CIA status in a July 14, 2003 column.

RAW STORY has independently confirmed a Prospect report which said that Rove told the FBI that the White House undertook an aggressive campaign to undercut Wilson’s credibility by leaking disparaging information about Wilson and his wife to the press. Rove disclosed that the Administration enlisted conservative interest groups and the Republican National Committee to get the job done, suggesting that perhaps dozens more individuals than previously known were aware of Plame-Wilson’s classified CIA status. Still, Rove did not reveal to investigators that he spoke with Novak before his column was published, the lawyers said.

According to the attorneys close to the case, the chips are still stacked against Rove, unless he decides to cut a deal before the probe wraps up

6. I live in Columbus OH ..... Franklin County
and Karl & bush flew into town last 11/2/04 and had a meeting with
Blackwell & Franklin County BOE (former head of the county GOP).
And somehow a 3 -5 point win became a 2 point loss in this state

He is such slime I so want him to go down for his act of
treason in the outing of V. Plame, somebody who was working
to keep us all safe from real WMDs.

7. If a Bush man moves his lips, he is lying. If they move their hands...
...then hold on to your wallet.

9. Rove has "innocent bout of forgetfulness"...
Just an innocent babe in the woods, that little karl. What a shame that someone might accuse him of any dirty doings. Why, just yesterday he helped a little old lady cross the street. And took in three orphans. And rescued a cat stuck in a tree. Why, everyone knows what a sweet guy he is. Just ask Cindy Sheehan.
