breaking news re: plame case

...Says Karl is cooperating... and that's why we got the "deleted" e-mails.

Karl is trying to insulate the Oval Office... Larisa thinks Shrubya knew...

She doesn't know if deal has been made but he is cooperating -- providing info about others...!

OK she's gone.

[TayTay]

1. Karl Rove is cooperating!

With the Fitzgerald investigation.

Wow!

KKKarl is singing for the investigation. This is big news!

Way to go lala_wawa!

[JDPriestly]

10. That makes sense. Explains a lot.

[LiberalEsto]

2. That could explain

why *s speeches lately have been unusually garbled.

KKKarl's too busy singing to whisper into *s earpiece.

[RBHam]

3. You should see him right now....

He still hates American workers...apparently, some of them refuse to work for slave wages...

temporary worker program vital...they'll work damn near free...

hmm...

he's clearly off his game...

[rocktivity]

6. A guest worker program is the Bush monarchy's ultimate goal

The protests have been a dream come true for them. Now Bush can offer some kind of amnesty that would enrich his corporate contributing buddies by pushing wages down.

:headbang:

5. When push comes to shove,

KKKKKarl becomes the shoved? Bless you, Fitz, for the visual of it all.

[Me.]

4. Finally!

Not good for Team Libby

[grytpype]

7. But he's been cooperating all along.

Lying maybe, but he testified a number of times before the Grand Jury. So this is not really news.

[The Witch]

11. That's what Lala said his attorney claims.

But acc. to her, he is the one who got the backed-up e-mails and provided them for the investigators.

[H2O Man]

14. Not true.

This is news.

[Me.]

8. He Must Have Made A Deal

why would he talk otherwise?

[Norquist Nemesis]

9. Cheney must have pissed him off

Rove is still likely protecting the West Wing, but getting an indictment on Cheney that would come after the elections this year could set up Bush's successor.

[AnnInLa]

12. Cooperating to the extent of implicating himself or

the chimp or the shooter? I doubt it. If he is "cooperating," it is all lies. Would you cooperate in his place?

[H2O Man]

16. Don't doubt it.

While you should not accept anything that Karl does on face value, and should wait until further news is reported to verify and explain what is happening, it would be best to keep an open mind right now.

[rman]

23. "Karl is trying to insulate the Oval Office"

Looks like he's throwing himself on his sword.

[kestrel91316]

13. IMHO Karl is perfectly capable of PRETENDING to cooperate,

and continuing to shield the true guilty party - GWB. I have said all along that GWB told his staff to out Plame out of petty revenge. Maybe Cheney tipped GWB off as to what Wilson was doing, and that they were unhappy about it, BUT I think the order to "get even" came from GWB.

[Fridays Child]

15. True but Karl strikes me as the kind of guy who, ultimately...

...is loyal only to himself. And you just have to believe that, if anyone has the ammunition to take them all down, it's Karl.

[alfredo]

22. He's afraid if he goes to prison he will be forced to sing the

"Deliverance" love theme Squeal like a pig honey.

[troubleinwinter]

20. 'Pretending' would be a VERY dangerous game...

one that I would not want to play with Fitzgerald.

[H2O Man]

17. Things are good. n/t

[Catherine Vincent]

18. I sure hope so, H2O Man!

Rove looks like the type that would rat on everyone to keep himself out of prison.

[Missy Vixen]

21. And we watch and wait

Yes, things are good on a Monday morning!

Julie

[kpete]

19. K & R for Larissa

24. Story's up on rawstory now - Rove talking about deleted e-mails, etc.

http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/Roves_cooperation_seen_to_advance_inquiry_0327.html

While these sources did not provide any details regarding what type of arrangements Rove's attorney Robert Luskin may have made with the special prosecutor's office, if any, they were able to provide some information regarding what Rove imparted to Fitzgerald's team. The individuals declined to go on the record out of concern for their jobs.

According to one source close to the case, Rove is providing information on deleted emails, erased hard drives and other types of obstruction by staff and other officials in the Vice President's office. Pentagon sources close to Rove confirmed this account.

None would name the staffers and/or officials whom Rove is providing information about. They did, however, explain that the White House computer system has "real time backup" servers and that while emails were deleted from computers, they were still retrievable from the backup system. By providing the dates and recipient information of the deleted emails, sources say, Rove was able to chart a path for Fitzgerald directly into the office of the Vice President.

26. It's like watching two vultures fighting

or maybe a better analogy is like watching Hitler and Stalin duke it out.

Pass the popcorn. :popcorn:

[Mabus]

27. I still don't trust Rove -Link to thread on story

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x764454

I think of my dogs. Each one is constantly monitoring the others. Each looks for the opportunity to get over on one of the others. Sometimes two will work in tandem to distract the third one, that's when the original instigator swoops in and walks off with the biggest bone.

We definitely need more popcorn.

[H2O Man]

28. Do not trust Rove.

No one should ever trust Karl Rove. He is a lowly slug. But he is looking to survive, and to help his best friend survive.

Keep in mind Ms. Novak, who was involved in the "funny business" that helped Karl avoid being indicted last fall. Remember that she spoke to Mr. Fitzgerald afterward. Karl wasn't in a position to be able to help himself, George, Dick, and Scooter.

[Mabus]

29. Best friend or meal ticket?

Is he protecting his friend or his own future? Rove is out for himself. I doubt he really cares about protecting others as much as himself. Remember, most of this shit has been orchestrated by him. He has to keep as much of the wall in place as he can. IMHO, it is all about his own self-preservation.

[Kurovski]

25. Great work, Larissa, thank you!

and thanks for the post, The Witch!
