It doesn't look good for Karl Rove (John Dean of Nixon fame chimes in)
CNN ^ | 7-15-05 | John Dean

(FindLaw) -- As the scandal over the leak of CIA agent Valerie Plame's identity has continued to unfold, there is a renewed focus on Karl Rove -- the White House deputy chief of staff whom President Bush calls his political "architect."

Newsweek has reported that Matt Cooper, in an e-mail to his bureau chief at Time magazine, wrote that he had spoken "to Rove on double super-secret background for about two min[ute]s before he went on vacation ..." In that conversation, Rove gave Cooper "big warning" that Time should not "get too far out on Wilson."

Rove was referring, of course, to former Ambassador Joe Wilson's acknowledgment of his trip to Africa, where he discovered that Niger had not, in fact, provided uranium to Iraq that might be part of a weapons of mass destruction (WMD) program.

Cooper's email indicates that Rove told Cooper that Wilson's trip had not been authorized by CIA Director George Tenet or Vice President Dick Cheney; rather, Rove claimed, "it was ... [W]ilson's wife, who apparently works at the agency on [WMD] issues who authorized the trip." (Rove was wrong about the authorization.)

Only the special counsel, Patrick Fitzgerald, and his staff have all the facts on their investigation at this point, but there is increasing evidence that Rove (and others) may have violated one or more federal laws. At this time, it would be speculation to predict whether indictments will be forthcoming.

You know what I would love to see? John Dean locked in a room with G. Gordon Liddy and a sharpened pencil.

Don't forget the video camera and microphones.

I'd buy it on pay-per-view.

Dean is (a) an old hack and (b) far behind on this story.

I think Cooper needs to be put on double secret probation.

That was my first thought. Too ironic not to post it. According to google, it was posted about 40 minutes ago.

I'd like to see Dean locked in a room with a rabid weasel.

'Cause it's lots of fun watching two rabid weasels fight...

Looks even worse for John Dean. He can dream, though.

There could be great danger for Rove. He might LAUGH himself to death.

A New York Times reporter isn't going to go to jail to protect Rove -- so he's not the one.

I see John Dean is still spinning, fabricating, obfuscating and stretching as always.

"Have at" what? There's nothing to "have at"...at least with any evidence that has surfaced thus far.

This article adds nothing new to the same old liberal regurgitation. Easy money for a weasel like John Dean.

This post is a little late. You can smell the burning rubber in Washington as Democrats back away from Wilson. This lynching is over. Rove is quite safe.

Obviously, John Dean hasn't been paying attention.

When did he write this? Last week?
