1. Rove deposition date moved back
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Judiciary Committee has
rescheduled a deposition for former senior White House adviser Karl
Rove, ordering him to appear Feb. 23 instead of Monday.
It is uncertain that Rove would appear, since a federal appeals court
is considering whether former White House aides can be compelled to
testify about matters on which they advised the president.
The committee subpoena commanded Rove to testify about any role
he played in politically motivated firings of U.S. attorneys, and the
prosecution of former Alabama Democratic Gov. Don Siegelman.
Siegelman has alleged his prosecution was pushed by Republicans,
including Rove. The former governor was convicted on bribery and
other charges and was sentenced to more than seven years in prison.
He was released early when a federal appeals court ruled his appeal
raised "substantial questions."

2. Sarah Palin hires Mike Conell’s partner
by MCM of News from Underground
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) has hired Becki Donatelli to handle her
brand-spanking new Sarahpac, according to sources familiar with the
move....The hiring of Donatelli also is evidence that Palin understands
she must overhaul her image among the Republican professional
class in Washington if she wants to be taken seriously as a
presidential candidate in 2012.
So who is Becky Donatelli? She’s a player in the Bush machine’s
election-rigging network–and, formerly, a sometime partner of Mike
Connell’s. For example, here’s a ‘graph from a Free Press article that
came out last July:
SourceWatch notes that Connell developed the websites for the
House Intelligence, Judiciary, Financial Services, Ways and Means,
and Administration Committees. According to SourceWatch, Connell
teamed up with R. Rebecca Donatelli, Chair of the D.C.-based
Campaign Solutions, to form Connell Donatelli Inc. (CD Inc.) as a
specialized online advertising agency in July 2004. One of CD Inc.’s
first activities was to become the registrant, administrator and tech
organizer for the anti-Kerry group Swiftboat Veterans for Truth’s
website swiftboatvetsfortruth.org.
