Is Karl Rove Still Leaking?

Chuck Todd suggests Rove is disclosing details of his grand jury testimony with the AP:

[E]nquiring minds want to know whether or not the person “directly familiar” with what Karl Rove saw during his grand jury testimony shares a brain with some guy in the WH sporting the title of dep. WH CoS?

Todd is referring to this story. Remember, there are only two people “directly familiar” with Rove’s testimony. Rove and Patrick Fitzgerald. (Rove’s attorney cannot be present during his grand jury testimony.)

It’s a pretty good bet that Fitzgerald wasn’t talking to the AP’s John Solomon. And the tone of Solomon’s article suggests his source was someone very sympathetic to Rove. The thrust of the piece was that Libby was mostly to blame.
