KKKarl set to testify?
i heard from a buddy of mine that he heard Rove is actually going to adhere to a subpoena. Said he heard about it today. haven't seen anything on here yet, (whether i'm looking hard enough or not is debatable), butI can't find anything on the "tubes" to confirm this.

Anyone else hear this today?

2. I read somewhere here today that Karl is given until Feb. 18th.
I think it was about some sort of legal challenge going on via Obama per. bushes executive privilege nonsense.

4. Obama's team will decide by the 18th whether he is covered under
executive privilege. He subpoena date is later, I think the 24th.

3. Raw Story says he won't show.
Former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove "won't comply" with congressional subpoenas, according to a newspaper report of an event held in Los Angeles earlier this week.

Rove spoke Tuesday evening at Loyola Marymount University, a Jesuit institution in Los Angeles, as part of the school's "First Amendment Week."

"One man loudly denounced Rove as a 'traitor' before he was escorted out," the Loyola Daily Breeze noted. "A woman held up a pair of handcuffs and said she would like to see Rove wearing them."

Rove mounted a "sprited defense" of Bush policies: warrantless wiretapping, Guantanamo Bay and so-called harsh interrogations. But among the questions bearing relevance on Rove's current predicament -- one answer stood out.

One questioner asked Rove whether he would comply with Congressional
subpoenas. Rove was subpoenaed last month to testify to the House Judiciary Committee about his knowledge surrounding the firings of US Attorneys and the prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman.

Rove "said he would not, and cited Janet Reno, President Clinton's attorney general, as his authority in resisting Congressional infringements on executive privilege."

His answer seems to contrast the sentiment of his Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, who told an investigative reporter earlier this week that Rove was cooperating with two Justice Department probes into the US Attorney firings and the Siegelman case.

11. thank you as well!! this is funny:
"His answer seems to contrast the sentiment of his Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, who told an investigative reporter earlier this week that Rove was cooperating with two Justice Department probes into the US Attorney firings and the Siegelman case."

so is that the strategy? have your lawyer say one thing, and run your mouth the other direction?

what a fucker.
