Former White House counsel Jack Quinn told FOX News that two issues surround Rove's discussing Plame to a reporter: one, whether Rove actually committed a crime, and two, whether the White House misled the American public about Rove's role even though a crime may not have been committed.
"It would be unfair to conclude that any crime has been committed — that's something that would be left to prosecutors," said Quinn, who worked in the Clinton administration.
But Quinn did note that Bush said he would deal with anyone involved in the matter, not necessarily just the leaker.
"That's quite a broader statement and I think right now Mr. Rove's credibility, Mr. McClellan's credibility ... until their credibility is sorted out, the president's credibility is really cast in their shadow," he said.
