Lawrence O'Donnel on McLaughlin Group: 'I'm probably gonna get pulled into the grand jury for saying this, but it will be revealed in Cooper's notes that it is Karl Rove who leaked Plame's identity'... Developing...

[blogblogginaway]

No story yet.

I'll be sure to watch this.

Now will O'Donnel also reveal the motive? I wonder...

[Anti-Bubba182]

"No story yet."

A BIG story if that is true.

[oolatec]

"YOU CREEPY LIAR!" lol

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Karl sure gets around. Shame on him for revealing what was one of the worst kept secrets in DC.

[USAfearsnobody]

It's all Bush's fault.


No, wait, maybe Pat Buchannan was the Deep Throat.

[Lancey Howard]

LMBO!!!
Lawrence O'Donnel. Har! Haven't heard that raving scumbag's name in a long time - - I'm surprised he surfaced. He would LOVE to get called into the grand jury, get his name out there, show the public he's still alive, etc.

Refresh my memory....should we be collectively saying "Oh s**t" if this is true?

[Wally_Kalbacken]

It could be true, it could be false, but if it is not a crime - it has no impact. The key to whether it was a crime or not is in her status at the time the disclosure was made, and whether the information (her identity and employment as a covert CIA operative) had been made public (albeit with less dissemination than in Novak's column) earlier. Only Drudge would focus on the "who" to the exclusion of the "what".

why would Miller and Cooper risk jail to cover for Rove?

[randog]

Cooper's notes: "...the source identified herself _^himself as Hillary Clinton _^Karl Rove..."

[no dems]

To be honest with you, no one's going to be surprised if he was the source of the leak. Even more importanly, nobody cares.

Even if this is true, oh well, too bad. W is in office for another term. Let Karl take one for the team. Resign and retire and enjoy life. And, BTW Karl, thanks for giving us 8 years of George W. Bush and keeping the Dims out of the White House.

[Anti-Bubba182]

It would be political trouble for Rove if true, but major egg
on Lawrence O'Donnel if it isn't. If it was Rove, that would
have probably disclosed a lot earlier.

[cmsgop]

If true,Yeah,Big time, but I don't think so, We will see, I just don't see reporters going to jail for Rove. Kerry would had have a Hell of a Shot with that Info back in 2004.

Ask O'Donnell -- who, once again, opened his mouth while failing to engage his brain (assuming it's still functional).

[USAfearsnobody]

Wait, they tape the McLaughlin group NOW?

[no dems]

Wait a minute! Wasn't this the Lawrence O'Donnel who "lost it" during the campaign on Cable TV?

[SittinYonder]

Only Drudge would focus on the "who" to the exclusion of the "what".

No, everyone will focus on the "who" to the exclusion of the "what" if it truly is Rove. The MSM and the Dems will be screaming from the mountaintops, calling for resignations, talking about impeachment. I realize this is no different than what they do any other day, but they'll be doing it over this for a while.

All in all, it's no big deal if it was Rove, IMO, except that it will be bad PR. I don't think there is a criminal case to be made.
