According to Luskin, Cooper originally called Rove — not the other way around — and said he was working on a story on welfare reform. After some conversation about that issue, Luskin said, Cooper changed the subject to the weapons of mass destruction issue, and that was when the two had the brief talk that became the subject of so much legal wrangling. According to Luskin, the fact that Rove did not call Cooper; that the original purpose of the call, as Cooper told Rove, was welfare reform; that only after Cooper brought the WMD issue up did Rove discuss Wilson — all are "indications that this was not a calculated effort by the White House to get this story out."

This just blew up in Coopers face....there is no doubt White House Phone logs....and Luskin would not have brought up who called who first without the proof to back his client up.

Cooper just got caught in a trap.

I am only surprised that evidently "the source" that Cooper was claiming released him (and he most certainly hinted "finally released him"--the lying sack of &%$#) was indeed apparently Rove.

I thought it wouldn't have been since we knew Rove had released him long ago.

Obviously what happened is Cooper made his public vow to not testify and chickened out at the end so had his lawyer go through this charade of calling Luskin and then the capper was that dramatic performance Cooper put on about getting a dramatic call.

What a complete creep.
