CREW: Rove investigations not over

CREW submitted a post to The Hill's Congress Blog.  Our point is clear -- it's not over for Rove.  Far from it:

We’re sure Congress will still be seeking Karl Rove’s testimony. The White House will probably take the same line as they have with Harriet Miers, which is that executive privilege prevents him from testifying, and they’re not going to waive it. They’ll do everything they can to keep him from testifying. He’s the one they want to testify least, because he knows where all the bodies are buried.

That said, he should offer his testimony to Congress. In an open society, the public deserves to know the truth about what the government is up to. Just because they can claim executive privilege doesn’t mean they have to.

In any event, this claim of executive privilege regarding Rove and Harriet Miers could still lead to a constitutional showdown in the courts. We don’t think Congress will just accept a claim of executive privilege.

 

Rove: Orwell's Dog

Run, Karl, Run!

NSA Contractor e-mails with Rove's finger prints.

Tears in their eyes when announced

an emotional event for Bush and Rove both who were reported to have tears in their eyes.

Hopefully we soon will understand what all the bawling was about.

E-Mails Please

Ready to see those e-mails, now, Karl.
