CNN Just Said That Cat-Killer Won't Back Up Rove

[Dinger]

Ed Henry was reporting. Said CK (Cat Killer) said he didn't know enough about the case. What does this mean?

[jean]

1. frist is the video diagnostician remember? He needs to see tape to

define his stance

[Rockholm]

18. LOL. My thoughts exactly.

Show me the tape first and lemme think about it. HA HA HA.

[liberal N proud]

2. Never mind

Just figured out who CK is
Thanks

[Dinger]

5. Bill Frist (nm)

[Rick Myers]

6. Bill Frist (R-asshat)

[central scrutinizer]

7. Cat Killer = Frist

He bragged about "adopting" cats from the animal shelter and using them for vivisection while he was studying medicine.

[quiet.american]

14. No matter how many times I hear it, that is just so vile and sick.n/t

[City Lights]

3. Sounds like he's cuttin' rove loose.

:rofl:

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

4. It means...

That the rats are gingerly stepping away from a sinking ship.

[lancdem]

8. I have a new thread on how high-level Repukes are ducking this

[DinahMoeHum]

9. Karl Rove is becoming radioactive to the Repukes. . .

they won't touch him with a 39-1/2 foot pole.


:evilgrin:

[thebigidea]

10. i'm sure he's stepped on a lot of people a bit too much on the way up

This whole mess gives them good cover to hit back. We should exploit this as much as possible, use him to drive wedges.

And don't let up - this fucker has been at the center of so much evil shit these past years. Payback would be nice.

Frist must've been at the recieving end of a lot of turd blossom's abuse, being Bush's point man in the Senate. He's failed repeatedly.
I'm sure he secretely relishes this.

11. Not Enough

More Repunks need to call for Rove's doughy-skulled scalp specifically before something happens. The question is, can they afford to give up Rasputin?

[Wildewolfe]

16. Whether they can afford it or not

... they will do it. Politics abhores a vacume, and what will be interesting is which repub sharks try to fill the void by putting ideas into our president's empty head.

[skip fox]

12. Case is tenuous. He wants to go on word of WH, but doesn't want burnt,

and he smells a fire. Here's why:


All data suggest that before the grand jury's conclusion that there will be one or more indictments for Rove and at least one more for another "high administration official," resulting to a loss of Republican credibility of being the party or morals and personal responsibility.

We know there were 6 calls because 6 contacts were made (Miller, Cooper, Novak among them). We know 3 contacts confirmed their stories with another "high administration official."

Therefore

1.) 1 man (named Rove by Cooper) made all 6 calls (which reduces the contention of "unknowingly" providing Plame's identity laughable). But he would have had to make sure that there were a few other "high administration officials" ready and willing to confirm his story, which strongly suggests coordination. Did Rove mastermind this portion before "unknowingly" releasing Plame's identity 6 times? Was this coordination "unknowing" as well? What does "knowing" mean? Repeated deliberate acts and coordinating with others for future support suggest a strong and clear intentions. It has knowledgeable design written all over it.

or,

2.) more than 1 person (Rove and at least one other) made the 6 calls. (The fact that one source released Cooper from his agreement of confidentiality but one source did not release Miller suggest at least 2 sources.) Rove would have more to coordinate! To establish guidelines like: No source should call another's contact, Pitch the information off hand, not as the main subject, Make the contact think the source is trying to do him or her a favor ("Don't go too far out on this Wilson thing, I don't want you burnt."), etc. AND Rove would have had to field a group of officials to support the sources stories.

I say Rove coordinated because it is obvious he did so since anyone in the administration in possession of the Plame-Wilson-CIA link would have gone straight to the world master of deceitful politics, and now we know Rove was at least one of the leakers.


So, in the first case we have at least 2 indictments for Rove (exposing and conspiring to expose) and (perhaps) 1 or more indictments for others (confirming and condoning the exposure while furthering it).

But in the second case we have at least 2 for Rove (same as above, but more evidence of conspiracy) and 1 or more clearcut indictments for others (both leakers and confirmers for exposure).

And then we haven't even begun to ask the question of how Rove got the information. (Doesn't leaking the information to him also constitute a crime?) Did Plame give information to officials as one report suggested? Why did Ashbery recluse himself? Did Rove have the proper clearance prior to becoming Deputy Chief of Staff to have seen the material? Or were other federal laws broken to the effect that classified information was used for political purposes? Etc.

I think the great thing we have going for us on this case is Patrick Fitzgerald. By all accounts a fine prosecutor.

[Uncle Joe]

15. If Rove is ever indicted and sent to grand jury, I wonder if

he will need Cheney to go along with him to hold his hand?

[Be Brave]

13. Self-preservation is a very powerful instinct.

Especially for those with weak a weak moral compass.

[thinkingwoman]

17. it means the beginning of the end

of Rove.

Seriously. If Frist won't back him, he's done.

Let's patiently watch the unravelling. It should be a good show!

:popcorn: Want some popcorn?

19. Isn't it about time for the new Abu Ghraib videos to come out?

I'd like to get Cat Killer's diagnosis on the mental states of the rape victims depicted therein.
