If he’s willing to do so if not on the record, and not under under oath, that kind of destroys any potential claim of “executive privilege”, doesn’t it?

Cheers,

He learned his lesson from Fitzgerald. Who says he’s dumer than a rock? He can learn simple things….

Cheers,

Memo to Luskin: Those were your exact words.

Good luck Luskin trying to get yourself and your client, Tubby McTreason Rove, out of this mess. You just cornered your client where he has to testify.

This little piggy stayed home

This little piggy was subpoenaed

A little piggy named Rove

Now, note the limits of executive privilege. It covers the communication and not the individual. Rove would have to appear and assert the privilege to each question asked. There is a purpose for such a procedure. It places the questions and their context within the committee investigation that would later be used to determine whether the privilege applies. Rove should be made to go through such a process. It would not only be embarrassing publicly (not unlike the old mafia dons of old) but it would also provide a clear road map to the American people and the courts as to what was being asked and why. This is because -

Executive privilege is not absolute. It is strongest when there are policy conversations involving national security. It is weaker when it involves policy discussions on less important matters. It is almost non existent when the investigation involves potentially criminal acts such as obstruction of justice.

Wait a second…turd blossom NO LONGER WORKS in the white house. How in the world can he claim “executive privilege” ??

If he is a private citizen it appears to me that he has two choices – 1) Lie or 2) take the fifth.

Is there another option??

Well, he could testify and tell the truth, but I wouldn’t count on that…

Is there another option??

The other option does not exist because it contains the requirement that Congress gives a hoot about being disrespected and abused. The requirement is also null and void because Congress feels they can win a bigger margin in November, so they are willing to be spit at by Rove’s lawyers. They are allowing illegality to continue because they feel it makes their chances better in the fall. Our politicians are devoted solely to their respective parties, not our country. That much is clear.

freedomspeaks.com – speak out. be heard.

wow… quite the eogtist…

actually, the “invitation” (see, even the crooks don’t take it seriously)
is premised on rove’s role in the allegedly political prosecution of former
Alabama governor Don Siegelman.

Is it also lost that Rove’s lawyer was describing what congress needs to establish and Rove’s assistance could verify he is not guilty but would rather stonewall the process. I’m reminded of the right wing mantra of recent past. If you have nothing to hide it shouldn’t matter if they bug your phone calls or not.

Well Mr. Rove, stand before congress and provide the answers that can add credence to these false accusations. Stand before the american people and answer the questions that the duly elected officials we americans have put in place and let us, We the People of The United States of America decide.

Keep it up Dan.
