Well it was certainly the crime that opened the door to the rest of the crimes. Karl Rove is in my opinion complicit in the crimes as well. Claiming that it is time to just forgive & forget. BS. This needs to be examined seriously and heads need to roll. This is nothing short of treason. Either we are a nation of laws, or we are not. As soon as we learn we are not a nation of laws, then lawlessness will be even far more rampant then it currently is, and the current level of lawlessness is already beyond the pale.
When that occurs there will be so much blood shed it will make the blood shed during the Civil War appear restrained in comparison.
All of the Bush League Republicans, Rove included, are in this up to their necks.
Necks that need to be stretched.
