Rove Issues Non-Denial Of Role In Seigelman Case: ‘I Read About It In The Newspaper’
...

Last week, the House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed former White House aide Karl Rove to determine his knowledge and role in the decision to prosecute former Democratic governor of Alabama Don Siegelman.

ABC’s This Week host George Stephanopolous asked Rove if he was directly or indirectly involved in Siegelman’s prosecution. Having trouble coming up with a coherent explanation, Rove simply offered this legalistic non-denial denial. “I learned about Don Siegelman’s prosecution by reading about it in the newspaper,” Rove said.

When Stephanopolous continued to press Rove about his involvement in the case, Rove stuttered and stammered, then responded by again saying he learned about it in the newspaper. Stephanopolous astutely noted, “That’s not a denial”:

ENJOY

STEPHANOPOLOUS: But to be clear, you did not contact the Justice Department about this case?

ROVE: I read about — I’m going to simply say what I’ve said before which is, I found out about Don Siegelman’s investigation and indictment by reading about it in the newspaper.

STEPHANOPOLOUS: But that’s not a denial.

ROVE: Uh. I’ve — I’ve — I’ve — uh — you know, I read about it. I heard about it, read about it, learned about it for the first time by reading about it in the newspaper.

Trying to defend himself, Rove said “everyone who was supposedly on that telephone call” — which points to Rove’s involvement in the case — says it “never took place.” But when Stephanopolous pointed out that there is a cell phone record of the call, Rove had nowhere to go.

Unfortunately for Rove, dealing with the House Judiciary Committee isn’t going to be as easy as ducking questions on a Sunday talk show. As committee chairman Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) said recently, “We’re closing in on Rove. Someone’s got to kick his ass.”

Some day they will catch up to this dude, when they do.. Siegelman is just the tip of the iceberg... he will never do time, but somewhere along the line he will tell all he knows...

I hope John Conyers meets the same fate as Wellstone.

I know you want to believe that Roves is some evil genius, but the anser is, your just that dumb.

Before you start alleging that people are dumb, might want to review your posts before you submit them or use spell check.

And here's our profoundly conservative moderator setting an epic example... how was i "hiding" the source? my how you do fabricate a scenario that doesn't exist...

as for discrediting it, how bout once? i've yet to see anyone explain things away for Pig Boy Rove regarding this one... as for intelligence, please don't embarrass yourself beyond all doubt by questioning the level of anyone else's intelligence in comparison with your own...

Wonder what the reaction would be if someone wanted to smash a brick in BHO or Teddy k"s face??

More tolerance from the peace loving left.

I'd pay to watch Conyers and Rove in a steel cage though.

And I'll say this as well: were I Rove, and I got to Congress to testify, the first thing I'd say would be "Okay, Mr. Conyers, you wanted to kick my ass, here I am--let's roll."

when has it been discredited? Oh that's right, never. And this is a transcript from a nationally televised t.v. show, are you saying it's fake dip****? I dare you to give me an infraction.
