So Did Fitz know about all the Rove emails ?

[lovuian]

Luskin said he has not heard from Fitzgerald's office and said that, if Fitzgerald believed any e-mails were destroyed, he would have called. Fitzgerald's office declined comment.


Sounds like Congress will be asking that same question

if he didn't Rove is in Big trouble
If he did then why didn't he go after Rove and Cheney for violation of Hatch Act

Any comments out there

1. from the Leahy subpoena

Rove's "understanding starting very, very early in the administration was that those e-mails were being archived," said Rove attorney Luskin.

The prosecutor probing the Valerie Plame spy case saw and copied all of Rove's e-mails from his various accounts after searching Rove's laptop, his home computer, and the handheld computer devices he used for both the White House and Republican National Committee, Luskin said.

The prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, subpoenaed the e-mails from the White House, the committee and Bush's re-election campaign, he added.

"There's never been any suggestion that Fitzgerald had anything less than a complete record," Luskin said.

Any e-mails Rove deleted were the type of routine deletions people make to keep their inboxes orderly, Luskin said. He said Rove had no idea the e-mails were being deleted from the server, a central computer that managed the e-mail.

Can someone explain this too me
Did Fitz have the record or not?


April 25, 2007, I asked you whether you would provide Karl Rove’s e-mails in the possession of the Justice Department to the Committee without a subpoena. His lawyer stated publicly that these emails, many of which have been reported “lost”, were turned over to U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald as part of the investigation into the leak of the identity of a covert CIA officer by officials in the Administration that led to the conviction of I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby. You responded at the hearing that you did not know but would check and get back to me. I have not heard back from you since in response to my question or the letter.


It looks to me like Fitz is going to make a trip again to Congress soon


No comment from Fitz's office??? wonder why

2. Who knows?

Fitzgerald plays his hand close to the vest.

3. I bet Gonzales is freakin out OMG this is good

I don't think they wanted the Plame case reopened it was locked down by the Scooter sacrifice

now it means Fitzy has a opening to go for Rove...stay tuned folks

but will he take it???

[H2O Man]

4. Please

CIA operative will testify before Congress

CAPITOL HILL Valerie Plame, the C-I-A operative exposed after her husband criticized President Bush's march to war, has agreed to testify before Congress.
A House panel is looking into how the White House handled her identity.

Congressman Henry Waxman, who chairs the panel, has also invited special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald to testify March 16th. But he hasn't responded yet. Fitzgerald just won conviction of Vice President Cheney's former aide, Lewis Libby, on obstruction and perjury charges.

Plame's name was leaked to reporters in mid-2003 after her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, began criticizing the Bush administration's handling of prewar intelligence on Iraq.

I believe Fitzgerald and Plame testified before Waxmen don't you remember that

6. Waxmen asked Fitzgerald a specific question in his letter

Waxman's letter states..."As a result of your investigation, you have a singular understanding of the facts and their implications that bear directly on the issues before Congress.... Your investigation had a narrow legal focus: Were any federal criminal statutes violated by White House officials?"
...
Waxman said the Libby trial raised important questions about whether "senior White House officials, including the vice president and senior adviser to the president Karl Rove, complied with the requirements governing the handling of classified information" related to Plame's classified status within the CIA.
I swore he testified the same day as Plame did or after her

7. I'm pretty sure

Fitzgerald declined to testify.

[H2O Man]

8. No.

We have discussed this a month ago. He never did.

[lovuian]

9. So Fitzgerald declined to testify for Waxmen

for what reason?

[lovuian]

10. Wow My memory is bad I swore he testified before Congress on

procedures on how to protect identies for future policy making

So your telling me Fitz declined to testify in front of Waxmen on what justification?

You guys are right and I'm sorry I'm bringing this up but I think its a point of why didn't he do so

Isn't it like Condi declining to come to testify too

what are you hiding here

this is looking very ugly

[Me.]

11. He Declined Because It Would Be Inappropriate For Him To Do So

at that point because of the appeal issue and because Libby hasn't been sentenced. But you know that, just as you know that FitzG. knew about the emails. I saw you on threads where it was plainly stated and backed up with sources. So why are you acting like this is some big mystery?

[H2O Man]

12. The law. n/t
