Whatever happened to the subpoena that Rove has managed to ignore on another illegal matter he was involved in.
How many illegal activities are we going to allow this guy to get away with while making money talking about them on fox noise.

1. He was deposed under oath for hours.
I haven't heard what came of it yet.

2. This is about Cenk. Love the guy. But here is another person assuming the
Edited on Wed Jul-15-09 09:05 AM by peacetalksforall
highly secret secret is related to an assassination ring. Why narrow it? Who said assination ring. Assassinations are OLD news. Goes back to 2002. Remember the 52 card pack with their pictures - that bizarre, creepy, tasteless gimmick that Rummy thought up to the embarassment (I'm sure) of professional soldiers up to Generals from our past.

Cenk - why limit yourself to an OLD news ring? You are playing into their hands.

But, you are still great. You are a unique analyzer all the rest of the time and your humor and clarity is a great gift to us.

9. Why don't you tweet him this?
http://twitter.com/TheYoungTurks

He really started using it in the last couple of weeks and he wants more people to participate.

12. You have to be a tweeter to tweet? I kinda made a promise to myself that I
don't want anymore agreements to sign, instructions to read, money saved and spent for electonic and software stuff. I don't know enough about it, but the thought that someone would ask to be my friend or that I would have to ask turned me off early on.

I can use e-mail - right? Yes, I'll tell him how great I think he is.

It's free, very easy and up to you as far as how much you use it (and who you "follow" and who "follows" you). It's great for getting quick hits and updates, and again, you can lurk or actively post.

You can even send live comments and questions to Cenk when the show is live (6-9pm CST). Not a guarantee he'll always respond but still. And yes, you can always send an old fashioned email to the googlegroups email address.

3. I'm surprised O'Reilly didn't do a little bit more nudging to find out why he answered that way

Oh, that's right. He's not a journalist, he's an entertainer.

4. This is all legal.
I'm sure the neocons can come up with a few no-good lawyers that can assure us it was all legal given the circumstances.

5. I dont think the issue is how many people they tell
it is the way they tell them. Members of the gang of 8 have said that the way they are briefed is very incomplete. They are not allowed to take notes, they only show them a few things here and there and they are usually blindsided with the info without any prep on the briefings. Also they aren't allowed to tell anyone on what they were briefed about not even staffers. The briefings should be more complete and they should be allowed to take notes.

11. You're right.
This is set up to keep everyone in the dark. It's just like the way Bush and Cheney testified at the 911 hearings.

7. wait -- Rove's a *political* guy, not a foreign policy guy
If this was about assassinating foreign enemies, why the hell would he have been in the loop about this??!?

Lots of people everywhere have mentioned that the goal of the "war on terror" was to kill Al-Qaeda people and other terrorists, it wasn't a secret. What I'm expecting to hear coming to light one of these years is the nightmare scenario -- the widespread use of wiretapping powers, CIA and other spooky assets, etc. for purely political purposes to benefit the Republican party. If that had been going on, Rove certainly would have been in the middle of it.

To my knowledge *all* I've heard along these lines was a quick mention several years ago about a wiretapper who lost his job for misusing his spooky powers, without any details about what he did. Maybe he was spying on a girlfriend, maybe the Kerry campaign -- who knows??

10. Spinner
I don't believe a word. To me, anything that man says is a lie to point you in another direction.
Wait, actually half-truths sooo assassination ring right.... but who is what we are looking for.
And in light of all the mysterious deaths that surround Rove and his friends?????

15. Push Conyers to act!!
unapatriciated is right...

"How many illegal activities are we going to allow this guy to get away"

What is it going to take to get
Rep. John Conyers, Chairman of the US House Judiciary Committee
to actually enforce one of his subpoenas to Rove?

Push Conyers to act!!
