Well certainly the Democrats accused them of that but don’t recall anything being done. Don’t think Rove had anything to do with it. The Federal prosecutors serve at the pleasure of the President, BTW so ....... what’s your point?
My point is that the GOPe is certainly not immune to corruption and, in fact, it makes allegations of corruption against Democrats very problematic given the GOPe’s own history. Most Americans just tune out the GOPe. That is why getting a non-GOPe candidate is so important.
