Why Did Bush Sr. Fire Rove?

[startingnow]

For leaking to Rove? Did I hear that correctly? Listening to Randi.

2. He leaked to Novak

And it was over 20 years ago, which proves KKKarl was a slime even back then.

Perhaps I was wrong.

5. Here's the story

"In 1992, Rove was fired from George H. W. Bush's 1992 presidential re-election campaign for allegedly leaking information to journalist Robert Novak. State campaign manager Robert Mosbacher had allotted Rove only one-quarter of the campaign's $1 million direct mail contract, after Rove had the entire contract in 1988. As Novak wrote, "Also attending the session was political consultant Karl Rove, who had been shoved aside by Mosbacher". Novak's column described the firing of Mosbacher by former Senator Phil Gramm.

Novak and Rove deny that Rove was the leaker. Mosbacher maintains that "Rove is the only one with a motive to leak this. We let him go. I still believe he did it."
