1.Rove Posts Answers to Siegelman
Prosecution Questions On His Website
by Jason Leopold for the Public Record
....“As you know, Mr. Rove has never asserted any personal privileges
in response to the Committee’s subpoena, but remains obligated to
follow the direction of the President. We simply cannot understand the
Committee’s interest in provoking a confrontation with Mr. Rove while
the precise legal issue that is presented by his subpoena is subject to
a pending action in District Court.
“We have struggled instead to find a method by which Mr. Rove could
answer the Committee’s questions while at the same time respecting
the prerogatives of the President. We thank you for providing such an
opportunity, and we trust that Mr. Rove’s answers will assist the
Committee in resolving these utterly unfounded allegations.”
Claims that Rove never asserted “personal privileges” is a familiar line
Luskin has used as recently as last month, when Conyers
subpoenaed Rove for the third time this year to try and compel him to
testify about Siegelman’s prosecution and the U.S. attorney firings.
Earlier this month, Conyers’s committee, with the help of White House
Counsel Gregory Craig, brokered a deal that resulted in Rove
agreeing to testify before the committee privately and possibly in
public sometime in the future.
