Karl Rove assigned Jack Oliver to be deputy chairman of RNC

In Virginia in June, he addressed both the state party convention and a gathering of well-heeled Republican donors hosted by Gilmore. Rove, by the way, negotiated the selection of Gilmore as RNC chairman last winter with the governor's chief of staff, Boyd Marcus. Gilmore had balked at being "general chairman" with little authority. He got the full chairman's job, but Rove assigned Bush loyalist Jack Oliver to the committee in the newly created post of deputy chairman.

So now, John Asscroft has assigned Bush loyalist and fund raising mastermind Jack Oliver, to head the investigation into the leaking of a CIA agent's identity. No wonder the WH has so much confidence in the DOJ's investigation.

(Oops, read the Yahoo story the wrong way. I thought it meant that Asscroft had assigned Jack Oliver to head the investigation. Rather, it is John Dion who has been appointed. Sorry, for the misinformation)
