ROVE'S FIFTH!!

Bush's Brain, Karl Rove, made his fifth appearance before the Grand Jury yesterday. There are so many great articles about this, so I decided to just post the links here.

The CIA Leak Case or "Plamegate" has become a huge story very much attached to the Bush Administration. This brings to question weather it is alright for the admin to leak info to the press to further their lies and agenda, but when whistle-blowers leak info to the press about gulag type prisons in Europe, all of a sudden it becomes a huge crime for the whistle-blowers and the press. The same press that was courted to leak the name of Valerie Plame by the Admin.

Here are several good links about Rove's Fifth...


Target Letter Drives Rove Back to Grand Jury

Wednesday 26 April 2006

Karl Rove's appearance before a grand jury in the CIA leak case Wednesday comes on the heels of a "target letter" sent to his attorney recently by Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, signaling that the Deputy White House Chief of Staff may face imminent indictment, sources that are knowledgeable about the probe said Wednesday.

Rove spokesman says he didn't receive target letter

RAW STORY
Published: Wednesday April 26, 2006

Asked about a Truthout report which asserted that Karl Rove had received a so-called "target letter," a spokesman for Rove told Salon's Michael Scherer that the report is "utterly false."

The section of the United States Attorney manual pertaining to target notification does not specify the form in which the notice is to be delivered. In other words, the spokesman's assertion that Rove did not receive a target letter does not resolve whether Rove received notice of any kind. LINK

Rove and Fitzgerald: A Recap
By Jane Hamsher

Update: David Shuster is reporting that Rove was questioned extensively today regarding Viveca Novak’s supposedly exculpatory conversation with Robert Luskin.

Karl Rove’s history of appearing before the Grand Jury was largely unknown until he testified for what is believed to be the third time in October of 2004.

Fitzgerald took over the case in January of 2004 and immediately issued a number of subpoenas for documents pertaining to the case. He also specifically subpoenaed Matt Cooper regarding his July 2003 article, A War on Wilson. But since Rove had not issued a waiver for Cooper to speak to Fitzgerald, he obviously thought he was in the clear when he initially spoke to the FBI (recap here) and the grand jury, and that Cooper would be the firewall between him and Fitzgerald.

FIFTH TIME to Grand Jury for Karl Rove

Karl Rove is back before the Valerie Plame case grand jury this morning -- being reported everywhere.

What would a Rove indictment be worth in terms of Bush approval rating points -- now at 32%.

Lots of folks have already jumped out of the Bush Kool-Aid ring (Tony Snow actually said that he would work for Bush but wouldn't "drink the kool-aid"), so the hard core Bush advocates are getting condensed.

My bet is that if a Rove indictment comes down, we'll see Bush lose 4 points, down to 28%, all other things remaining equal. LINK


I can already imagine the movies that will be made about this! Happy reading.
