Portions of the transcripts were made available to The Associated Press on Friday by a senior congressional aide on condition they not be quoted directly and that the aide not be further identified because the interviews weren't supposed to be made public.

And Rove was "coaching" the witness to do what? ... The witness, Associate Deputy Attorney General William Moschella, said he was urged during the dinner hour meeting on March 5 to publicly specify reasons for the dismissals

Who cares another rovegate zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[slapshot]

We have troops overseas laying it out on the line and all these clowns can do is fixate on the equivalent of a pea under the mattress?

Lord help this Nation.

Plus clinton fired 93 and nobody cared

Ah, it’s that Evil Karl Rove again. The Illuminati, the Masons, and the Brotherhood all rolled into one.
Who was Killroy? Karl Rove, of course.
Where’s Waldo? Karl Rove has him in detention at Gitmo.

Moschella's boss, Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty, told investigators in an April 27 interview that he also was at the March 5 White House meeting and that Rove was there. McNulty recalled Moschella being told to be sure to lay out the justifications for the firings, according to the transcript of his interview by investigators.

They've got him now. I really don't see how he's going to get out of this one. Will probably bring Bush down with him. The GOP will be tainted for years, and we may not see another Republican House, Senate, or President for a generation.

Rove Alert!

And Clinton ignored al-queda while selling US missile guidance technology to China/N.Korea/Iran.

The media didn’t care about the Clintoon firings for obvious reasons. Personally, I cared, because I knew he was stacking DoJ with hacks there solely to cover his criminality.

This is ridiculous! Rove wasn’t doing the coaching .. he was just present ..?? What crime does that represent ..?? The dems have gone off the cliff.

And .. they have a snitch in their midst who is leaking this stuff .. WHO THE HECK IS IT AND WHEN IS THE DOOR GOING TO HIT HIM IN THE REAREND ..??

The fun (and at the same time very sad) part of this piece is that they are so desperate to generate some kind of “scandal” here that they are admitting unabashedly that

“Portions of the transcripts were made available to The Associated Press on Friday by a senior congressional aide on condition they not be quoted directly and that the aide not be further identified because the interviews weren’t supposed to be made public.”

They are admitting to breaking the laws that they so cherish, in order to try and convince us that there was something “political” and unseemly in lawful actions of White House personnel.

It’s a laugh riot, and you wanted to sleep right through that? :~>}

another socialist

ad hominem attack.

When this started as a scandal Bush should have said “Yep, I fired those 8 Prosecutors. And now I’m gonna fire 8 more, just because I can.”

The witness, Associate Deputy Attorney General William Moschella, said he was urged during the dinner hour meeting on March 5 to publicly specify reasons for the dismissals,

How is this "coaching"? He was simply asked to specify the reasons for the dismissals. More WaPo heavy breathing, me thinks. Anyone up for filing a malpractice lawsuit against the MSM? Their witch hunts have gone beyond annoying at this point.

Plus clinton fired 93 and nobody cared
:::
MSM whitewashed, like everything that reprobate did.
The MSM is really getting tiring.

He was “coaching” an attorney to tell the truth about justifications for the firing - which is what Democrats supposedly wanted and insisted on having... yet “a senior congressional aide” without party affiliation (AP must be protecting a Republican) doesn’t want to “be further identified because the interviews weren’t supposed to be made public.”

And these people demand to be trusted with state and military secrets essential to our nation’s survival...

I would be screaming and demanding investigation by Justice Dept, but because they are the subject of the hearing and must recuse, I would demand appointment of Special Prosecutor to investigate members nd staffers of House and Senate Judicial Committees.

Excellent sarcastic post :)

I was just noticing that the early excitement generated by this hearing seems to have vanished, so now they have to, as you say, commit a crime to try to manufacture more headlines.

An anonymous source, a paraphrased and therefore inaccurate quote, nothing specific put forward to suggest that Rove did anything wrong, all just to get his name into a headline.
