Did Rove just double down? Did he raise the stakes? Why would he leave the country?

[burythehatchet]

As far as I can tell the only reasons he would leave the country are...

1. To make the HJC look powerless, or

2. To avoid being taken in by the Sargent at Arms of the House.

If 2 is correct, then he basically fled the country to avoid arrest. I think that's the reason he is being given another deadline of 5 days, Rove knows the noose is tightening, he's calling Conyers out. If HJC does what its supposed to Rove does a perp walk.

I am cautiously optimistic that this may be a real deadline...and then if Rove remains AWOL, I look forward to the shit hitting the fan.

1. um

I hadn't heard :shrug:

[JuniperLea]

2. His lawyer confirmed... he's left the country! eom

[Bluzmann57]

11. Well let's hope he stays gone.

And let's hope if he ever dare show his face in the USA again, he will be placed under areest immediately.

4. He fled the country. No one is revealing where he is.

[ColbertWatcher]

6. Seriously? No one has said where he is? n/t

[Rosa Luxemburg]

13. but Interpol knows!

[tekisui]

23. The puke on the committee said it was a "long scheduled trip"

Yet, no one knows where he went?

Maybe this has something to do with Pelosi changing her tune on Impeachment.

3. Forgive me, I never got into chess... or tiddleywinks either...

What do you mean by 'stakes' and 'double-down'? Sounds like Count Dracula in heat...

[burythehatchet]

7. poker. That's what this is, high stakes poker.

[Deja Q]

[hootinholler]

12. Criminals always flee the country. The rest of the bushcobots have their e-ticket in hand..........

with departures to foreign lands on January 21, 2009.

[Patsy Stone]

15. Because he has nothing to hide.

He's perfectly innocent and he just decided to leave the country because, well, that's what innocent people who have nothing to hide do when the choice is between testifying or going to jail.

[Meeker Morgan]

18. A pardon? n/t

[grasswire]

19. thanks to homeland security, SOMEONE knows where he is

A quick subpoena of records would reveal his destination unless he went by private transportation.

Someone in my neighborhood said that he is a danger to Bush, and we ought to put him in protective custody.

24. Did he go to Costa Rica with Rush on a sex junket?

[malaise]

25. I say #2

The coward doesn't want that mug shot. Please make that perp walk happen live on TV.

[gateley]

26. I think Rove honesty believes the HJC IS powerless -

and don't think he feared being taken in by the Sergeant at Arms. He believes the rules don't apply to him, and so far, the dems have done nothing to disabuse him of that view.

[Bunny]

31. Yes, I think you're exactly right.

Conyers is a good guy, but the HJC is powerless. Nothing will happen to Rove. Nothing at all.

[spanone]

27. c'mon, we need a karl link

[Pastiche423]

28. I read somewhere on DU that he is in Sweden

Now I can't find it.

Does this ring a bell w/anyone?

[ColbertWatcher]

29. Hang on, if #2 is correct, when will we get a terra threat!? n/t
