Rove Will Cooperate With Federal Probe Into US Attorney Firings

TPMMuckraker:

Karl Rove will cooperate with a federal criminal inquiry underway into the firings of nine U.S. attorneys and has already spoken to investigators in a separate, internal DOJ investigation into the prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, his attorney said in an interview.

Rove previously refused to cooperate with an earlier Justice Department inquiry into the firings. The Justice Department's Inspector General and its Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) said in a report released last September detailing their earlier probe of the firings of the U.S. attorneys that their investigation was severely "hindered" by the refusal by Rove and other senior Bush administration officials to cooperate with the probe.

They should hook him up to a lie detector that sends electric shocks to his testίcles (if they've dropped) every time he lies.

...They can tell him that they're doing it out of honor for his old bosses.

ok, like 'really' cooperate or cooperate in a "Gonzales" kind-of way with a lot of "I don't know's" and "I don't recall" and "I don't remember any recollection"?

just wondering.

[slarabee]

I am not sure I understand this. He thinks he can assert executive privilege where and when he want's to whom he want and not cooperate with congress.
I am following this correctly?

[mogelsberg]

Yeah, that seems to be what they're saying. That if he "cooperates" with investigators, then he doesn't have to honor his subpoena to congress? I . don't . think . so.

[slarabee]

Thanks. I just wanted to make sure that my reading comprehension had not totally deteriorated. Apparently the law on planet Rove is different that here on Earth.

[jcollell]

I'll believe this when I see it.

Empty link, is this an invitation to debate.
BTW, 1/20/09 has passed & Mr Holder is now AG Holder.
Is anybody making book on if & when Karl Rove does his 1st perp walk, does a plea bargain, rats out...& who he rats out? As previous comments stated, "Interesting...".

[MIVOTE]

Hopefully he'll tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth with no 5th amendments rights allowedl

[Harmony1812]

The truth as he sees it through those foggy coke bottle eyeglasses.

[Cranbot]

Uh, yeah...sure he will...

[inEugene]

He's a good lad, he is.

[bokiluis]

His father was a homosexual and his mother committed suicide.....along with the fact he is twice-divorced.......maybe that explains his insane, nefarious behavior!

[roshni]

Do elaborate..........
