Is Everyone in this Administration Involved in this Leak?
Musta slipped his mind. Looks like Mr. Bolton forgot to mention that he appeared before the Plame grand jury in the forms he filled out for his confirmation hearings.
Of course we know about Ari, who could be in some trouble too. And then there's Karen Hughes, who has appeared before the grand jury, and previously had this to say about Karl Rove's involvement:
Hughes said she was confident that her fellow Texan and sometime rival, Karl
Rove, the president's chief political adviser, didn't leak the name to a
syndicated columnist because "Karl has said that he was not involved."
And, of course, she also said this in her book about the leak:
In her book, Ten Minutes From Normal, Hughes discussed the leak, calling it "wrong" and "unfair" to Bush. Hughes earlier said the leak was "disruptive to
democracy." In her book, she said whoever conducted the leak "should come
forward and not hide behind journalistic ethics for his or her self-protection."
She added, "The use of unnamed sources has become a convenient way for too many political operatives to hide and avoid accountability for their statements."
All of my favorites from this Administration, all implicated at the same time. It doesn't get much better than that. Now, all we need is Condi, and we've got everyone. Oh, wait. We may have Condi in the soup too. Remember, Novak said one is his sources is "no partisan gunslinger," which is, of course, how the right views Condi, even though her record and repeated lies speak otherwise.
Also, wouldn't it be wonderful if, a la Martha Stewart, the act Rove was initially investigated for ultimately wasn't a crime, but he gets busted for his later obstruction of justice and perjury?
