RW SCUMBAG JOHN SOLOMON is original reporter on Rove Story
Edited on Tue Jun-13-06 01:41 PM by berni_mccoy
As was noted here, the story has a big inconsistency.

But then I noticed that SOLOMON WAS THE ORIGINAL REPORTER. This guy has put together BULLSHIT stories blasting Dems before. Why should we believe ANYTHING that comes from this jackass? I would not put it past the RW MACHINE to have Luskin work with Solomon on this... perfect Rovian style. And if the Indictment is still sealed, FITZGERALD CAN NEITHER CONFIRM NOR DENY this story.

WHAT A PIECE OF WORK.

(edited to fix links).

4. Well that's a different way of looking at the matter.
Edited on Tue Jun-13-06 01:48 PM by sparosnare
It is perfectly reasonable to assume Luskin and Solomon put today's story out there, knowing full well it cannot be refuted by Fitz or his group because the indictment is sealed.

We haven't seen the supposed letter yet. And you'd think, if Rove has been exhonerated, they'd produce and print it for everyone to see.

8. But 1+1=3 Everyone knows that Right?
Think anyone else will see this for what it really is? No, it is we, the :tinfoilhat: that put stuff like this together....

I want to see the letter exonerating Rove.. He should have nothing to hide and should be happy to show it off....

9. On AL Franken they were saying that it was Viveca Novak who saved Rove's
Edited on Tue Jun-13-06 01:55 PM by BrklynLiberal
ass by warning his lawyer that Matt Cooper told the Grand Jury that it was Rove who spoke to him.
This gave Rove time to go back to the Grand Jury and change his story to "I mis-remembered.", so he could not be indicted for perjury. Rove had originally to the GJ that he had neve spoken to Cooper.

Does this ring true?

10. NOTHING is for sure until it comes from an official source.
I hardly call the word of one party's attorney official. He can speak only for his client, no one else.

We do know that there is a record of sealed documents. There must be something there. Time will tell what it is. We just need to be patient.

These people are EVIL. Good works against evil, it always has. No matter how evil tries to overcome good, in the end it always fails. And usually in a spectacular manner. Our best days are yet to come, the fan is on, but the shit hasn't been slung yet. But it will be, all in due time.

11. Certainly seems consistent w/ media manipulation
The story hit and moved very fast, so fast the major newspapers couldn't keep the story straight and all reported different versions.

The TO smear machine hit almost simultaneously. Classic Rove hit and run tactics.


I'm beginning to believe there isn't a grain of truth in what Rove's attorney is saying.

15. HERE WE GO: Fitzgerald's NO COMMENT
Supports the idea that today's story can be completely MADE UP and Fitz can't say a word about it.

16. So why didn't any other reporters break the story?
Was it just given to him? Why would Rove's "Democratic" lawyer do such a thing?

17. Perhaps to create confusion...
When a prosecutor is trying to prove something like Obstruction or Perjury, the best defense is muddying the water.

Imagine trying to find a jury for this trial...

23. All new text too.. more conjecture as well..
"Early in his investigation, Fitzgerald abandoned the idea of indicting anyone on a charge directly related to actually leaking Plame's identity, which was classified at the time."

Both the NYT and the new AP version state that the leak investigation is over. Something fishy about all this..
