Rove/Plame Missing the point

[Badger1]

We all know that KKKarl outed an agent for political purpose, that is not in dispute. He should be brought to justice for treason in a time of war. But what makes no sense to me is this, Rove is a "political advisor" , nothing more, nothing less. He is not privilage to CIA agents standing. Who told Karl? Who in the fuck told Karl? That's the question my friends. Then the shit will hit the fan, if we leave it all on Karl nothing will be resolved.

1. True. Get Kkkarl...get them all.

2. It's possible he had security clearance as an advisor

It's stupid, but kinda up to W.

4. Maybe, maybe not

This is a very important question.

6. Not at that time...

...he didn't. It wasn't until the second Bush term that KKKarl Rove was appointed Deputy Chief of Staff, which is really just an official title he was given to shield his actions, if necessary, under the rubric of executive priveledge.

11. His title for the first term was "Senior Advisor"

and Junior as CIC can bestow security clearances on whomever he wants.

3. I agree

But maybe when we toast the puppet master everything else will crumble. Ever seen a marionette with no one holding the strings? This administration will be a crumpled heap soon.

5. Rove was appointed a deputy chief of staff in 2005

Making him a high ranking member of the executive office.(qualifying him for impeachment - as he is a cabinet officer within the executive branch - albeit "deputy") Andrew Card is Chief of Staff.

The deputy Chief of Staff helps to shape domestic and foreign policy, as well as national security policy.

All that aside, I think Rove had access to anything and everything he wanted access to...and I don't think Bush was in the dark about anything Rove knew or was looking to find out. Also, Rove being the scary little bugger that he is, people would tell him anything he wanted to know...

My only point is, maybe we can impeach him in his new role, even if his actions were prior...

7. Mr. President, Mr. Vice-President, regarding Karl Rove Affair...

What did you know and when did you know it?

Did you participate in this cover up?

I'd like to remind both of you, you are under oath.

8. Is there any doubt about this?

I wouldn't mind taking Chaney down with him. That is where the real leak is from
