White House OK'ed Sampson Statement on Rove
By Paul Kiel - March 28, 2007, 7:12 PM

Earlier, I flagged an email in today's document dump that showed Kyle Sampson preparing to run his letter to Congress by the White House.

The letter stated, "The Department is not aware of Karl Rove playing any role in the decision to appoint Griffin" to serve as US Attorney. Sampson told fellow Justice Department officials that "because this letter mentions Rove and alludes to Harriet, I'd like to send it to the for their review..."

That claim -- that Rove and Miers had no role -- is one Sampson's own earlier emails show to be false.

In an email Sampson wrote in December to one Christopher Oprison, associate counsel to the President, Sampson told Oprison that Griffin's appointment was "important to Harriet, Karl, etc."

1. Sampson is a True Believer, he's going to play as much "offense" as he can

I suspect he'll defiantly say that the Prez can fire these guys whenever he wants and basically for any reason.
