Quote: "what exactly would be the charge or crime .... ?"
Simple, Rove is a Republican and that is illegal. Stalinism is ruling the day now. You simply make your opposition illegal, one step at a time. Now, for example, it is illegal for the President to fire political appointees based upon (gasp!!!) politics.
Lying to Congress.
Fire Alberto, clean house at Justice, then tell Congress to go to hell. A win-win.
Being a Republican.
But yet, I say again, THERE WAS NO CRIME. Just as there was no "outing" of a "covert CIA operative". The Dems are going to try someone and disgrace someone. Notice that they keep going after Rove, they hate him like Darth Vader. They will continue to subpoena and question Rove until he makes some mistake or fails to remember, then they will demand Rove be fired. Then on to Cheney, and ultimately Bush.
