Somebody clear this up for me, please: is Rove off the hook now?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

The media reports I'm seeing are saying that Rove was being a good samaritan and warning Cooper about Wilson's claims. What gives?

[SHRED]

1. There is an investigation going on

You, me, the media, or whomever are only talking on the outside now.

Patience.

[NYCGirl]

2. No, he's not off the hook by any means. That's all RW spin. NT

[deutsey]

3. To everything spin spin spin spin

There is no reason, spin spin spin spin
And a lie for every scandal under investigation

[Wapsie B]

4. Good earworm!

Now I can't get it outa my head.

[Misunderestimator]

8. Dammit... me too.... Earworms should have warning labels...

:crazy:

[H5N1]

5. I would bet money Rove waltzes away from this

[Kathy in Cambridge]

6. I'll take that bet

[H5N1]

10. You are what I call an optimist

We live in an optimist-reducing age.
If Rove walks, how will you feel?
Bush beats us every time... every single damn time.
He will beat us this time, too.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

14. The tide is turning.

wait and see.

[H5N1]

17. Hope you are right and I am wrong.

We have been saying 'the tide is turning' since Energy Gate.
I quit saying that somewhere between Halliburton Gate and
DSM Gate.

[acmavm]

7. Of course he will. And in the meantime other bigger issues are being

ignored.

[H5N1]

13. This should be a slam dunk. Ain't gonna be.

Rove deserves the death penalty, no doubt.
But they have all
the money, all the lawyers,
all the power.
They will tie this up forever.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

21. The death penalty?

[amber dog democrat]

26. Lets see what Judge Fitzgerald says.

Its not helping the Whitehouse with their domestic agenda having to fend off what is becoming a mounting public relations/image/credibility problem either.

Some one in the Chimp admin outed an undercover CIA agent.

[Maddy McCall]

9. No, he won't waltz.

He may crawl away, but he won't waltz.

Fitzgerald doesn't seem to be a man swayed by right-wing spin. He's totally methodical...he's considering hitting Miller with contempt charges, which will hold her in jail beyond October.

[MajorFlaw]

18. How much can you afford to lose?

[leesa]

11. It's a GOP talking point that makes no sense whatsoever. Wilson told

the truth, so how could Rove be the savior? Their mantra is that Rove is a whistleblower (??) and Dems are inconsistant because they loved the whistleblower in Watergate but hate THIS whistleblower....they forget that there was no whistleblowing going on, however. Bunch of sixth grade logic!

[H5N1]

15. Exactly! Makes no sense at all.

Get ready for the scummiest show on earth.
It's gonna really make us sick (and angry).

[biggertent]

20. Contact any and all news sources that repeat this lie and bust em

Also I highly recommend MerdiaMatters.org for alerts; they are on ther ball; I'd hire them as my war room if I was runnin

[glitch]

23. Wilson was the whistleblower - so we are consistent.

Wilson blew the whistle on the *co lies, that's why they went after him.

[KharmaTrain]

12. Not Until The Fitzgerald Sings...

Karl's not the target of this investigation, but he still remains a subject; meaning, yes, technically he's not the one whose being told he's under investigation, but he sure hasn't been given a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card yet.

The wingnuts are basing this game on what they think is all Fitzgerald is or can play with...the laws about outting an agent. There's strong indications this investigation is now focused on the cover-up of finding out who leaked Plame's name for the past two years and the reasons why they would be doing this. Far more important...far more damning.

Stay tuned...

[biggertent]

16. No freakin way!

Rove's toast

[newyawker99]

19. Hi biggertent!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[KharmaTrain]

22. LOL...Well He's Turning On The Spit

I think we'll have a good fish fry before this is over.

Welcome to DU and join in.

Cheers

:popcorn:

24. It's just the "Momentary Snapshot" by Monday, it Could Be Deep Doo-Doo

Off the hook when the Special Counsel is done.
No matter what the bought and paid for media says for "the moment"

[DinahMoeHum]

25. No. Read this thread. He may still be in deep shit for lying to the FBI.

:shrug:

[Kazak]

27. Yeah...

I'm sure the grand jury verdict will result in complete absolution of responsibility for the entire cabal. ;)

[Tommymac]

28. Maybe off the hook and into the pan....

if that's what you mean...;)

This is all RW Spin. And his lawyers are throwing out crap to try and obfuscate things. The GJ Investigation will not be affected...Rove has to try and keep the public under control though otherwise *'s political capital is nothing but monopoly money.
