The smoking gun? Rove a coached a DoJ witness on Congressional testimony. |

Rove attended meeting where witness on prosecutor firings coached LAURIE KELLMAN Associated Press Writer Friday May 4th, 2007
WASHINGTON (AP) - A senior Justice Department official who testified about performance shortcomings of several fired U.S. attorneys has told congressional investigators he was coached the day before at a White House meeting attended by political adviser Karl Rove.
The witness, Associate Deputy Attorney General William Moschella, said he was urged during the dinner hour meeting on March 5 to publicly specify reasons for the dismissals, according to a transcript of the investigators' April 24 interview with him.
Until the March 6 hearing before a House Judiciary subcommittee, Justice Department officials had said publicly only that some of the firings were based on performance, offering no specifics. At the hearing, Moschella laid out detailed criticism of each of five fired prosecutors' specific performance.
Moschella's boss, Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty, told investigators in an April 27 interview that he also was at the March 5 White House meeting and that Rove was there. McNulty recalled Moschella being told to be sure to lay out the justifications for the firings, according to the transcript of his interview by investigators...http://www.nwfdailynews.com/article/4372NGU.

2. Impeach Rove? How. The lie is that he 'works for the American people'. |
|
He works personally first for bush** and for the republic party second.
What is his real function? Why does he draw a goverment salary? He does nothing for the 'country'.

3. To paraphrase another DUer, all that seems to be keeping... |
|
...the entire White House from crumbling is Rover's lard butt plugging the hole in the dike.

4. Sorry... but there is no crime in someone saying you ought to emphasize |
|
XYZ in your testimony. Coaching them to say something false, is a crime if you can prove it.

But I also truly believe the justice ought to be blind,. Bring me a crime and I will bring the torches and pitchforks myself.
