No Outrage Over Rove

Remember all that highfalutin, indignant, and screeching DemocraP rhetoric about Rove thundering down on Capitol Hill years ago?

Turned out it was all FART MIST in YO' FACE, 'murka!!!!!!!!


"In an hourlong interview with the Post and The New York Times this month.... conducted on the condition that it not be released until Rove’s House testimony was concluded.... Rove said he did not recall several events in the time line because of his busy job...."

So he LIED to the PAPERS, huh?


".... Rove played a central role.... deeply involved.... issued a statement yesterday saying the documents “show politics played no role.... A subsequent Justice Department inquiry.... concluded that political considerations played a part"

"E-mails show Rove played bigger role in prosecutor firings; House panel hears testimony" by Carrie Johnson, Washington Post | July 31, 2009

WASHINGTON - Political adviser Karl Rove and other high-ranking figures in the Bush White House played a greater role than previously understood in the firing of federal prosecutors almost three years ago, according to e-mails obtained by The Washington Post, in a scandal that led to mass Justice Department resignations and an ongoing criminal probe....

The e-mails emerged as Rove finished his second day of closed-door testimony yesterday....

Robert Luskin, Rove’s attorney, said: “I certainly can confirm that Karl answered all of the committee’s questions fully and truthfully. His answers should put to rest any suspicion that he acted improperly.’’

Then WHAT TOOK SO LONG?!

Rove and Miers, as well as other Bush administration figures, still could be called to testify at a public hearing on Capitol Hill. Transcripts of their accounts could be released by the House judiciary panel as early as August under the terms of the court settlement....

Little late, isn't it?

WASHINGTON - Former White House political adviser Karl Rove played a central role in the ouster of a US attorney in New Mexico, one of nine prosecutors fired in a scandal in 2006 over political interference with the Justice Department, according to transcripts of closed-door testimony released yesterday....

The House Judiciary Committee.... released more than 5,400 pages of White House and Republican National Committee e-mails, along with transcripts of closed-door testimony by Miers and Rove. Committee chairman John Conyers, Democrat of Michigan, said the documents reveal that White House political officials were deeply involved in their firing of Iglesias and the other US attorneys....

LITTLE LATE, ain't it?

Rove issued a statement yesterday saying the documents “show politics played no role in the Bush administration’s removal of US attorneys.... ’’

A subsequent Justice Department inquiry into the firing of Iglesias and other US attorneys concluded that political considerations played a part in as many as four of the dismissals. A political uproar led to a series of damaging revelations about the Bush administration’s political meddling with the Justice Department and the eventual resignation of then-Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Iglesias said in an interview yesterday that he was nauseated by the whole affair. “It’s exactly what I feared. Over two years ago, I said that all roads lead to Rove,’’ Iglesias said. “I’ve said consistently that he was highly involved, and now the evidence is there.’’ Iglesias said there wasn’t enough evidence to pursue the voter fraud cases that Republicans wanted.

Conyers said he provided a copy of the documents to acting US Attorney Nora Dannehy, who questioned Rove earlier this year to determine his precise role in politically tinged firings.

Pfft! That OLD FOSSIL was the BIGGEST FART BAG of them all -- but NO IMPEACHMENTS!!!!!!!

S***-scum!!!!!!!!!!

“After all the delay and despite all the obfuscation, lies, and spin, this basic truth can no longer be denied: Karl Rove and his cohorts at the Bush White House were the driving force behind several of these firings, which were done for improper reasons,’’ Conyers said....

Yeah, AND....?

No JAIL TIME, no TRIAL, no NUTHIN'??!!!!!!!!!!!!
