The Case against Karl Rove

by Jason Leopold

<snip>

Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald met with the second grand jury investigating the leak of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson for several hours Friday. Unless Rove's attorney intervenes at the 11th hour yet again, Fitzgerald is expected to ask the grand jury to indict Rove - at the very least - for making false statements to the FBI and Justice Department investigators in October 2003, lawyers close to the case say.

People close to Fitzgerald say the special prosecutor has long believed that Rove's story concerning his role in the Plame case, as well as what he knew and when he knew it, is filled with holes. One thing Fitzgerald has been struggling with for months now, these people say, is whether to believe Rove hid or destroyed evidence that would have incriminated him and proven that he was a source for at least two reporters who unmasked Plame Wilson's identity and covert status, lawyers close to the case said.

And...

It's unknown whether Hadley, who was also required to comply with the subpoena and the Gonzales order, turned over the email to Fitzgerald or to Justice Department and FBI investigators some three months earlier. If he did, Fitzgerald knew of its existence all along even while Rove, for nearly a year, was not being forthcoming with Fitzgerald or the grand jury. If, in addition to Rove, Hadley also failed to locate and turn over the email, it raises more questions about his own role in the matter. Hadley was interviewed by investigators to determine if he was involved in the leak, but has so far not entertained questions about his role, if any.

Besides Cooper, other journalists cited in the January 22, 2004 subpoena include: Robert Novak, who was first to publish Plame Wilson's name and undercover CIA status in his column, and who counted Rove as one of his two anonymous sources regarding Plame Wilson; Knut Royce and Timothy M. Phelps from Newsday; Walter Pincus, Richard Leiby, Mike Allen, Dana Priest and Glenn Kessler from The Washington Post; John Dickerson, Massimo Calabresi, Michael Duffy and James Carney from Time magazine; Evan Thomas from Newsweek; Andrea Mitchell from NBC’s "Meet the Press;" Chris Matthews from MSNBC’s "Hardball;" Tim Russert and Campbell Brown from NBC; Nicholas D. Kristof, David E. Sanger and Judith Miller from The New York Times; Greg Hitt and Paul Gigot from The Wall Street Journal; John Solomon from The Associated Press; and Jeff Gannon from Talon News.

Wonder why Gannon was called???

in January 2004, not the 25 journalists (which includes Gannon).

including Cooper, Gannon etc. was subpoenaed. The 25 journos themselves weren't subpoenaed in January. Again, the subpoena was to the WH to turn over info regarding Administration contacts with these journos.

"The same day Fitzgerald received the response letter from Comey, the White House faced a deadline of turning over administration contacts with 25 journalists to the grand jury investigating the leak...

...Besides Cooper, other journalists cited in the January 22, 2004 subpoena include..."

I mean, almost everyone on that list has appeared before the Grand Jury, or at least met with Fitzgerald in his office.

:shrug:

significant difference, if one is concerned with accuracy and not promulgating bad info.

:hi::evilgrin::hi:

A lot of people want Gannon to be significant for some reason. :shrug:

Oh please oh please oh please! I live for this glorious day!

:7

:applause:

One email, perhaps in Cooper's received file, says one thing, but the same exact email, in Rove's sent file, says something else.

Just a thought.

they took Talon News off line and Gannon lost his gig in the WH Press Corp.

The Fat Boy and the Marine. Oooh la la.

Wonder who will play Rove?

Now why would he be involved?

having known about Plame and that he saw some classified document before Novak's column.
Details are fuzzy but he put himself in the story by what he wrote.

spoke with Hannity about his conversation with Wilson and his trip.

Just for shits and giggles, I thought I'd take a gander at what he is up to. Here is his latest entry-

------------------
"December 17, 2005
Nancy boy's defenders protesteth too much
My post about Ron Reagan, Jr. has left more than a few liberals with their panties in a bunch. It's good for Ronnie that he's a liberal himself or he'd probably find himself the target of a good old-fashioned outing by his fellow travelers. MESSAGE: Stay on the plantation and we won't hurt you. Go over the fence and we'll hunt you down like a dog.

I remember when there was an all out effort to get the First Son-cum- ballet dancer married off so he wouldn't be an embarrassment to his father.

Look how far he's come as a television journalist. Let's go to the tape and see Christopher Hitchens eat Ronnie's lunch for him on his own show.

Now we know why "Connected Coast to Coast" got disconnected.

Poor Monica Crowley. Let's hope that crapfest didn't end her career."

Here are two more entries I found amusing-


Gay divorcee
The first "couple" to be "wed" in a civil union ceremony in Vermont five years ago is now Splitsville. This might be an object lesson of "be careful what you wish for" because if you want gay marriage, you have to take gay divorce, gay alimony...

Someone said of gay marriage: "Why shouldn't they be as miserable as the rest of us?"

----

Not everyone likes "Brokeback Mountain"
Here's one review of the new movie about gay cowboys that will upset the intolerant Left.

Is this guy threatening to 'out' Ron Reagan? lmao. And who is he talking about when he claims 'more than a few liberals' were upset with his post? Who the fuck is even reading his blog, right OR left? There are 0 comments in the provided sections on ANY of his entries. WTF is he doing besides masterbaiting in public?

He said that Christopher Hitchens ate Ron's lunch. What video was he watching, Ron handled that asshat quite smoothly.

out Ron.

Does Gannon feel unfairly outed? Poor dear, just because he had his gay escort website and was getting white house access, he was outed for no reason.

I might be wrong but i don't see much "outing" of any kind if it doesn't reflect hypocrisy. But if you are gay it is best not to bash gays and vote away their rights. If you are having an affair and lying to anyone about it, best not to impeach for lies about sex. And so on...

For some reason I thought Ron was gay and was surprised when he mentioned a wife, but didn't care either way. What really surprised me is how bright and thoughtful he is. I do have Reagan bias. I really like Ron and have not seen anyone "have him for lunch".

Christopher Hitchens is a disgusting arrogant blowhard. I don't like him even when we happen to think the same on some issue, but that's beside the point.

Thanks for going there. Funny to hear he has 0 comments. Even infamy is fleeting sometimes.

Gannongate gonna blow wide open!

:D

This was PRE "the troubles" with his website & "activities".. It's probably still archived.. I remember people posting the thread here..

I kind of think he might have gone on the Africa trip too.. No proof of it, but the time frame is right..
