16. Maybe the same
obscure law under which Martha Stewart was charged? According to experts, after she was convicted of lying to Federal Agents, the law under which she was convicted is obscure and relatively controversial, and rarely used except in RICO cases.

It seems now that Rove did lie to Federal Agents initially when he claimed he had not spoken about Valerie Plame to the press. WE know now that is not true even though he tried to weasel out of it by saying 'I didn't use her name'.

Martha got five months in jail, and five months home confinement for lying to agents. Maybe this is the law Keith is referring to, maybe not! :-)
