Thank you.
FYI.
O'Donnell never has shied away from making a jacka$$ of himself, has he?
Creepy Liar!
Thank you.
For all I know Lawrence O'Donnell may have a point but I think he's also a few steps away from a padded room.
"On Friday, I broke the story that the e-mails that Time turned over to the prosecutor that day reveal that Karl Rove is the source Matt Cooper is protecting "
"That" is one of my pet peeves!
(Now, with THAT off my chest, I'll try to read the damn thing for content.)
Uh, I mean, what an insightful and sober analyst. Please, MSM, give O'Donnell plenty of page space and screen time to elaborate his delusional bullshi..., er, devastating bombshell about Rove. Yeah, that's the ticket!
If the Dems boot Howard Dean, I hope Lawrence will get the job. He'd be so perfect.
Prosecutors ask witnesses all the time not to reveal their testimony, just out of courtesy to protect their investigations. Rove probably has no issue in doing so because not only would he like himself like to get to the bottom of things, but also I don't think Rove would care to piss off a federal prosecutor with such wide discretion. And, of course, is Cooper going to jail protecting a source who isn't asking to be protected? Sheesh, what a shmuck O'donnell is.
ODONNELL IS A CREEPY LIAR!

"Wilson at one point suggested that senior Bush adviser Karl Rove could have been behind the leak, which the White House denied. He backed off that assertion somewhat Monday, accusing Rove of at least condoning it."
Even JOE WILSON admitted it wasn't Rove - in 2003!
This guy never heard of a "gag order"? Yikes.
Hogwash! I spend years on a federal grand jury and all who participated as jury or witnesses were admonished not to discuss anything that occurred in the room.

And it's quite telling I think, for O'Donnell to mention "traction for his story". Obviously, "traction" to malign Rove is what is on his mind.
Less than an hour ago, I watched a replay of O'Donnell on The McLaughlin Group. O'Donnell said himself he didn't think Rove could be prosecuted for outting an operative, rather he thinks Fitzgerald is going after Rove on perjury charges.

I hereby invoke the "Chewbacca Defense". "Look at the monkey!"
On other boards they already have Rove impeached, or no, wait, Bush, Ooooh, I F&$(*%$ hate the all SOOO BAD!!!
Yeah, Larry, they decided to "reveal" this for the umpteenth time.
Here's a liberal column from over a year ago:
March 8, 2004
President Bush's chief political adviser, Karl Rove, told the FBI in an interview last October that he circulated and discussed damaging information regarding CIA operative Valerie Plame with others in the White House, outside political consultants, and journalists, according to a government official and an attorney familiar with the ongoing special counsel's investigation of the matter.
But Rove also adamantly insisted to the FBI that he was not the administration official who leaked the information that Plame was a covert CIA operative to conservative columnist Robert Novak last July. Rather, Rove insisted, he had only circulated information about Plame after it had appeared in Novak's column. He also told the FBI, the same sources said, that circulating the information was a legitimate means to counter what he claimed was politically motivated criticism of the Bush administration by Plame's husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson.

The characterizations in the 2004 citation are the lefty pov, but the bare facts are what we've long known and O'Donnell (and Newsweek) provided nothing new.
The 2004 column goes on to darkly mention Scooter Libby who has long since been cleared after he, like Rove, signed confidentiality waivers and reporters were compelled (and they fought it every step of the way) to admit Libby was not the source and you can bet that the reporters that have testified so far have cleared Rove, as well.
Thank you very much for the ping.
