Wonder why Rove was never wire-tapped???

[Junkdrawer]

Betcha good old "We'll *bleep* him like he's never been *bleeped* before"(tm) said and did things that would make Blago look like a choirboy.

Here's my guess: Blago was out for Blago, Rove represented The Powerful.

1. Rove was a corporofascist powermonger.

One law for anti-corporatists and Dems..
no law for corporofascists like Rove,
Bush, and Cheney, their cronies and
lackeys.

5. . . . IS . . .

n/t

2. Well, unless he was engaging in terrorist activities,

the obtaining of a warrant for a wire tap on Rove might have been pretty difficult - no, make that impossible - to obtain.

3. You think Alberto would have let that happen?

:rofl:

4. What makes you think he wasn't?

Rummy was running an independent intelligence apparatus to leverage the NeoCons in the center of power.

6. Who says he wasn't?

Maybe by the same guy.

7. Yes, I'm having those thoughts, too.

What I love about being a Democrat & being here on DU is that we all want the government to be fair & honest.

I don't think anyone here is sympathetic to the Illinois governor.

But I'm in the number of those who look at the inequity involved in the quality & thoroughness of Fitz's investigations.

And the catalyst for my thinking was the remark made by the FBI guy at the press conference: that he didn't know if Illinois is the most corrupt state, but it certainly is one hell of a competitor.

This guy works for the FBI. And they couldn't get Bush, Cheney, or pigboy Rove?

Excuse me if I don't join in the celebrating.

8. Past tense versus present tense.

The Rove investigation involved looking at events that had happened months earlier, while the Blag (I guess nobody can spell it!) investigation was about ongoing events.
