I agree that Rove didn't commit a crime. Then why lie about to the press afterwards? Why is there an investigation now? If Rove didn't do anything wrong, why did he lie all this time and NOW it comes out that it was him all along?

If Rove was a Democrat, everyone here would be demanding his resignaton.

You obviouly don't have a clue about this situation, I suggest you do some research and actually understand the circumstances before accusing others of being hypocrits.

There was never any lies told and there was never any law broken, and your thinking that someone would be calling for someones resignation when nothing was ever done wrong is hyperbole at the minimum.

He did so because, even though it probably wasn't within the scope of the statute, it is a bit scummy to go after one who is viewed as a political enemy by spreading around info about his wife.

That's really the end of story. Some folks didn't like what Wilson wrote, so their response was to go after the wife. "Fair game." I don't care whether it is a violation of the statute or not - it is low class.

Rove did not lie. He always admitted that he talked to people, and said that he did not out her. The only thing that's changed is that Time Magazine now abandons its "sacred honor" and reports that Rove was its "source."

But its source for what? Rove never told them that Plame was covert. Apparently, the only thing Rove told them was that it was Plame's idea to send Wilson to Niger. So what?

I disagree. If Rove was a Democrat there would be no story and no one would make a big deal about it. I really don't get why anyone cares.

Why is there an investigation now?

There is a investigation right now because the democrats and the MSM demanded one. The investigation should have been shut down a long time ago. But what happens when you get a special prosecutor is that they get carried away. There seems to be nothing on Novac and Rove. So now Fitzgerald is going after the other reporters who are either not cooperating or telling the truth. I think everyone that is going around half cocked should wait for Fitzgerald to finish his witch hunt before mouthing off what to what Rove did or didn't do.

I am not aware of Rove lying to the press about this matter. What are you referring to?
