Lawrence O'Donnell: Update on Rove
Lawrence O'Donnell 2 hours, 22 minutes ago
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 provoked Rove’s lawyer, Robert Luskin, to interrupt his holiday weekend to do a little defense work with Newsweek and the Los Angeles Times.
On Saturday, Luskin decided to reveal that Rove did have at least one conversation with Cooper, but Luskin told the Times he would not “characterize the substance of the conversation.” Luskin claimed that the prosecutor “asked us not to talk about what Karl has had to say.” This is highly unlikely. Prosecutors have absolutely no control over what witnesses say when they leave the grand jury room. Rove can tell us word-for-word what he said to the grand jury and would if he thought it would help him. And notice that Luskin just did reveal part of Rove’s grand jury testimony, the fact that he had a conversation with Cooper. Rove would not let me get one day of traction on this story if he could stop me. If what I have reported is not true, if Karl Rove is not Matt Cooper’s source, Rove could prove that instantly by telling us what he told the grand jury. Nothing prevents him from doing that, except a good lawyer who is trying to keep him out of jail.
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.
I really think he has taken up Aaron's cocaine addiction. He sounds that loony.
And of course, we know he has, because if he weren't addicted to cocaine he would stop me from getting traction with the story...
"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.
What, not enough "thats" in that sentence?
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.

Indeed. It must be difficult to find a hat that fits it properly.
