Like our glorious Leaders always tell us lowly Plebs, "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear". All a sanctified Christian like Karl needs to do, is tell the truth. The truth will set him free. Right? Why on Earth would the Executive Branch object
to Brother Rove giving sworn testimony? Like our
glorious Leaders always tell us lowly Plebs, “if you
have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear”.
All a sanctified Christian like Karl needs to do, is tell
the truth. The truth will set him free.

Right?
