Thanks. I was unaware of that.
Rove's lawyer seemed to take the exact opposite tack until today.
Yeah, he's putting it out bit by bit. But Cooper's notes are now public, and they don't say that Rove told him Plame was covert.
Lawyer said Rove didn't mention her name.
What isn't clear is if Cooper already new about "Wilson's wife."
Unless Novak is a total liar, his first source was not Rove.
I don't think so. Rove and his lawyer have always said that he didn't "out" her. The information we got today seems to prove that.
Cooper's notes say that Rove just said that Wilson's wife was the one who recommended sending him on the mission. And that she worked for the CIA.
He didn't give her name, and I find it hard to believe that anyone would think she was a "covert operator" if she was working at Langley in a position to make that kind of recommendation.
I suppose one could invent scenarios that would make it look like Rove did something wrong, but that's all it would be - an invention.
