Rove denies target letter (false alarm?) |
|
Edited on Wed Apr-26-06 04:04 PM by julialnyc
Rove spokesman says he didn't receive target letter
RAW STORY Published: Wednesday April 26, 2006
Print This | Email This Asked about a Truthout report which asserted that Karl Rove had received a so-called "target letter," a spokesman for Rove told Salon's Michael Scherer that the report is "utterly false."
The section of the United States Attorney manual pertaining to target notification does not specify the form in which the notice is to be delivered. In other words, the spokesman's assertion that Rove did not receive a target letter does not resolve whether Rove received notice of any kind.
If Rove did not receive a letter, the lack of a target notice does not necessarily mean that Rove is not a target. The manual does not require that targets be notified before indictment; it simply states that the prosecutor is "encouraged" to notify targets before seeking an indictment against them.

3. Right -- maybe Fitz advised him when they met earlier today |

I could swear I heard that KKKarl, Fitz and Luskin met this morning before KKKarl went to the Grand Jury this afternoon. (Or did I hear something wrong?) Also, I don't think Scooter received a target *letter* ... ??
On edit: KKKarl might not have received the letter anyway (if there was one); maybe this would have been sent to his attorney and not to him directly.

4. Actually, the Truthout story says |
|
the letter was sent to Luskin, Rove's attorney. I don't know if that makes a difference.

6. In BushWorld, it sure does |
|
They are the KINGS of parsing their words ... The fact they say KKKarl didn't receive it is intentional (and misleading).

7. Rove has said a lot of things in the past that don't jive with the facts |
|
Maybe he got a target letter; maybe he didn't.
Perhaps Tony Snow can start his duties by asking Karl if he got a target letter and telling the WH press corps what Karl tells him.

Rove Testifies for 5th Time in CIA Leak Case By William Branigin and Jim VandeHei Washington Post Staff Writers Wednesday, April 26, 2006; 5:09 PM
Top presidential adviser Karl Rove testified today before a federal grand jury investigating the 2003 leak of a CIA operative's identity, appearing "voluntarily and unconditionally" at the request of the chief federal prosecutor, Rove's attorney said.
In a statement issued upon the conclusion of Rove's testimony at the federal courthouse in Washington, attorney Robert D. Luskin said the special counsel in the case, U.S. Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald, had advised Rove that he was "not a target of the investigation." However, Luskin said Fitzgerald has not made any decision about charges.

...haven't learned how to interpret what you hear and read from the NeoCon Junta. Here's a hint: They parse everything, and rely heavily on misdirection.
