I think Rove might be about to get called before the GJ again
Edited on Wed Jul-13-05 09:08 PM by lancdem
Check out these grafs in an AP article, particularly the last one:

Wednesday evening, Luskin, Rove's attorney, issued a statement saying that Cooper's testimony would "not call into question the accuracy or completeness of anything Rove has previously said to the prosecutor or the grand jury."

"Rove has cooperated completely with the special prosecutor, and he has been repeatedly assured he is not a target of the investigation," said Luskin. "Rove has done nothing wrong. We're confident he will not become a target after the special prosecutor has reviewed all evidence."

If special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald "seeks additional information from Rove in light of Cooper's testimony, Rove will promptly provide it," the lawyer's statement said.

1. Rove's attorney Luskin?
He's the guy who took the payoff in gold bars from the drug cartels? Perfect choice to defend a traitor.

4. He's the kind of guy who's perfect for a bunch like...
... Patton Boggs. They are well into the right-wing power structure in Washington, if one looks at their client list....

2. Have you ever known a defense lawyer to say his client is guilty?
At least before the trial? It must be one hell of a game of cat and mouse, though...

3. How nice that he'll obey the law.
Seeing as how he gets to pick and choose.

5. If Rove is subpoenaed again
Luskin would be the stupidest lawyer on the planet if he does not advise Rove to take the Fifth.

6. "We're confident he will not become a target".....
hmmmmmm, sounds like Mr. Luskin might be losing some of his confidence. He sounded lots more confident last week.
