Key Rove aide fingered in US Attorney investigation to step down; Could face subpoena
Michael Roston



Multiple sources reported today that a top aide to President George W. Bush's key adviser Karl Rove will soon step down from her job in the White House. The aide, Sara M. Taylor, was identified in yesterday's hearing with a former top Justice Department official as seeking the resignation of a US Attorney in Arkansas. She could still face a subpoena, RAW STORY learned.

Last week, the House and Senate Judiciary Committees authorized subpoenas of Scott Jennings, a deputy to Taylor, who is a top aide to Karl Rove. A House Judiciary Committee aide told RAW STORY she could still face a subpoena today.

"The people for whom subpoenas were authorized were a result of the document review, and it could be could be that Jennings' name was more prevalent," said a House Judiciary Committee aide. "Other subpoenas can be authorized or issued should any other names come up."

Taylor and Jennings were both fingered yesterday by Kyle Sampson, the former chief of staff to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, as playing key roles in the elevation of Tim Griffin, a top staffer in the Bush-Cheney 2004 campaign and a Army Judge Advocate General, as the interim US Attorney for Arkansas in place of Bud Cummins.

Any word yet on who this would be?

Updated now with story. Hmm... It looks to be Sara Taylor.

1. Hah... no idea who it is, but...

:woohoo:

[KensPen]

2. Gotta love Karma....

It looks like it's starting to unravel for the Bushies,
but that only serves to make me fear an attack on Iran all the more.

[redqueen]

7. Holy crap, dude!

Nice to see ya!

:hi:

[KensPen]

11. I remembered

my password.

[calimary]

35. Would this be a figurative noose starting to tighten around kkkarl's neck?

Does he feel the floodwaters lapping at his ankles? Maybe moving up to his knees if this little cookie has to walk the plank?

Well, well, well. Yes, we DO love Karma.

And yes, it leads me to worry about what desperate men might feel themselves driven to do. Maybe their gamble will be that it'll force people to come together again to "unite around their 'president' in time of war." But already, with the Iraq War opposition gaining so significantly in stature and relevance and impact, I wonder if the public would embrace the idea of another war. Especially when there's plenty we know now about what our troops have been put through, on AND off the battlefield. The ground hasn't been softened up to be receptive to another war. We already mostly hate the one we're stuck in already. And there's SO much out there in the mainstream media about how our military is pushed to the limit, stretched to the breaking point by bad policy, bad decision-making, and bad management. Yeah. Just what we want now is another war. It might have been a shrewd political tactic a couple of years ago, maybe around the 2004 elections. MAYBE even as we approached the 2006 midterms. But not now. I don't think it'll work.

But I'd LOVE-LOVE-LOVE to see kkkarl painted into a corner, surrounded by ravenous wolves, and no way out. And he's fattened up again nicely since last year when he thought Patrick Fitzgerald had him by the balls.

3. gotta be one of the two mentioned yesterday who "reported to Rove"

[seafan]

4. I hope like pure hell it's Susan Ralston, but she resigned October 6, 2006. n/t

[502WildcatDem]

5. Not real hard to guess -

My $$$ is on Scott Jennings.

[502WildcatDem]

10. It's Sara Taylor

http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Key_Rove_aide_fingered_in_Attorneygate_0330.html

Jennings won't be far behind.


Keep on diggin Democrats!

[Roland99]

12. Peeling layers of the onion of corruption.

[bobthedrummer]

17. Her WH salary is something like $135k per year, J. Scott Jennings is more

Susan Bonzon Ralston was around $160k, then there's Jennifer Farley, Barry Jackson, Ruben Barrales, and a whole lot of other folks former or current WH staff that have names and are also on lists have got to be held accountable-and that's just Karl's shop, then there is the DoD (realpolitik), DoJ, the intelligence community, the "contractors", and it just "trickles down" to our local school boards and everywhere a political office is held.

God only knows what they got from the black budget and bribes.

Since the WH is the visible command center of the total "war president" and his loyal Bushies, and the people's searchlight is focused on them- now the shadow government strongholds are being lit up too (as they never thought they would be-from within).

[lisa58]

6. My guess is Jennings

[montanacowboy]

9. This is the guy who did the power pt presentations

at GSA for political appointees so they could subvert the 08 vote

[lisa58]

20. Exactly...

...that's why I thought it was him - mentioned in two separate hearings on consecutive days.

[lisa58]

19. I was wrong...

...not the first time - won't be the last.

[DB1]

8. Another one under the bus!!! Jennings probably because

he was also the one ( I think) who organized the slide show at GSA that violated the Hatch Act

[cascadiance]

13. Updated with story link... It's announced it's Sara Taylor

[tanyev]

14. Another alumnus of Messiah College or Regent University?

I hope somebody's checking on her background.

[wordpix]

33. a son or daughter of a Pioneer? BushCo better watch who they're throwing over!

[Barrett808]

15. Did anybody see Rove "bustin' a move" last night ?

It was...entrancing, in a horrifying way.

[cascadiance]

16. Do you think they'll ask her what she likes to do with heads of small animals too?

I guess they could then determine how PC and/or sick she is too to be working for that bum!

[EC]

23. Yeah, it reminded me of Howard the Duck.. n/t

[underpants]

18. "Taylor and Jennings were both fingered yesterday by Kyle Sampson"

Okay Too Much Information there let's keep out of their personal lives

[yellowcanine]

22. I had the same dirty thought. What have we come to?

[EC]

21. Gee, it looks to me like the upper echelon sure

had their scapegoats set up by hiring idealistic young people who weren't very smart about the law....I sure hope the parents of these kids are telling them to tell the truth and not lie for these scumbags...all they have to do is point to Libby and say, "see, that's what will happen to you"...

[bdamomma]

24. my my another bites the dust.

[rodeodance]

25. ah ha ah ah

[caledesi]

26. Saturday Night Massacre Unabridged.....deja vu all over again. nt

[antonialee839]

27. Great, another child running things at the White House.

They are like trained puppies. All hail the great and powerful Lord PP.

[shanti]

28. all the young, hungry repukes

probably jumped at the chance to take these positions...now look at them :eyes:

[Supersedeas]

29. will she hide behind 5th or Executive Priv?

[Roy]

30. This fragile little one looks bit frightened......

Kind of like she just realized that she's been suckered in over her head by these shysters!
Well Sara, it's like momma said.... "ALL THAT GLITTERS AIN'T GOLD"

[The Count]

31. But, but, but...she was planning to quit in the spring for some time now

So said the article...Nothing to see here, move along...
OTOH, I hope they save the "funny" footage from the Radio correspondents dinner - especially the part where W tells Rove "You're fired". it's one of the jokes that gets funnier with the passage of time...

[YOY]

34. Just separating the weak from the strong

The strong young neocons who will weather the storm will come back to revisit us in 20 to 30 years with plenty of "consulting" experience.

[wordpix]

32. notice how all these "top aides" are about 25 y.o.? Big campaign contributors' kids?

It's clear these "aides" are nothing but young go-fers for BushCo, yet they're not placed as interns in the WH or agencies but in high-up positions just under bigwigs like Rover and Gonzo. They're so young they're not likely to cause "trouble," as other, more seasoned veterans might. :eyes: :puke:
