Jail cell is exactly where Rove belongs
Bush should have fired Rove: McClellan
Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said this morning that President George Bush should have fired political strategist Karl Rove once he learned Rove was involved in leaking the identity of undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame.
"I think the president should have stood by his word and that would mean Karl would have left," McClellan said this morning on NBC's "Meet the Press."
McClellan added that "the bar was moved" once it became public that Rove was involved in the leak.
grandma you are so right, do you see a pattern, Bush move the goalpost and guess who else always move the goal post, HRC.

Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Rove belong on the gallows, not just a jail cell. And this is just the scum at the top. Many others others who aided and abetted this treasonous, immoral, and criminal administration deserve the same ignominious fate.

54 former state attorneys general support Siegelman.»
A bipartisan group of 54 former state attorneys general from across the country has filed a federal appeals brief supporting former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman’s bid to overturn his criminal conviction.
Isn't there a "crime/fraud" exception to any claim of executive privilege? It's especially interesting that the Bush administration refused to allow unmonitored communications between the folks being tried in the Guantanamo military tribunals and their attorneys, but insist that their own communications be deemed absolutely privileged.

Right again john66: Insane McCain is nothing more than a supoerannuated Bad Apple who would have been tossed out of the service had he not had the "pull" of two precious generations in high places. And I am beginning to wonder how well dad's and granddad's records would survive a thorough scrutiny. A little investigation into johnny's history and people will soon see a lot less "war-hero and a lot more charlatan and collaborater. And this doesn't even begin to cover the personal and political misbehaviors.

That's ok if this takes a while...let's make sure that Bush is out of office by the time Rove is found guilty so they can't pardon the treasonous bastard.

So, if you were allowed one and only one Bushie that you could see indicted and marched to prison dressed in orange, who would it be? As painful as it would be for me to choose just one, it would be Rove.

The Constitution does not protect the actor from impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors and those are NOT covered by "executive privilege"--the actor can merely cite his or her Fifth Amendment rights on testimony and/or try to invoke e.p. Executive privilege invocation did not prevent Clinton from being impeached (or aides from testifying), although he was subsequently acquitted. Additionally, acts considered "political activity" are not covered by executive privilege; i.e., Rove's involvement in the Siegelman affair and the firing of Federal prosecutors for political motives. And further, the outing of Valerie Plame by Rove and Libby, such activity involving an agent not under official cover as she was (and which was merely disputed by the administration but not proved) is treason, indeed a high crime.
KKKarl may have thought he dodged the bullet by leaving his job--however, the acts were committed while he was in office, and if, in fact, were approved by the president, would also subject Bush and Cheney to impeachment, executive privilege or not. I believe the Constitution of the United States speaks to this.
Executive privilege cannot be used to cover up crimes.

I hope that finally justice is done, but the way the Bush administration bends the rules it probably will not happen, Carl Rove is a sleezebag.

Rove needs to be brought before the congress to testify, under oath, in shackles and an orange jumpsuit if need be. There was so much blather about his being the architect etc. etc, it is only fitting and proper that he answer for his crimes and spend his next thirty or so years pontificating from a cell at Leavenworth; but not until,as someone said earlier, Dubya is out of office and unable to pardon him. Then Karl will see how much loyal support he'll get from his "friends." By all rights, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, just to name a few should be keeping him company.

Michael Mukasey is a right wing pimp, forget him. I was listening to Turley (Const. Professor) the other night and here is what he said. Congress is a co-equal branch of gov't (hey Dems, ya hear that? spineless wimps) - and that for the longest time they exercise the power of contempt until several decades ago they handed it over the Dept. of Justice (remember when DOJ was "apolitical"??) and that all Congress has to do is just have him arrested by-passing the DOJ. CONGRESS DOES NOT NEED, UNDER THE CONSTITUTION, THE DOJ TO EXERCISE ITS INHERENT AND CONSTITUIONAL RIGHT TO ENFORCE CONTEMPT CHARGES. Turley is correct. But we have only one problem - spineless Democrats. I will retract the use of the word "spineless" when I see the Nazi Herr Karl Rove in handcuffs.

Look for Little George to pardon him of any and all offenses he may have committed in connection with anything he's done during the last eight years. Just like Daddy Bush said:
Mr. Bush said today that the Walsh prosecution reflected "a profoundly troubling development in the political and legal climate of our country: the criminalization of policy differences."

Bush is such an asshole. Criminalization of policy differences? The bastard broke law after law after law after law. You can't pardon Rove and the rest of the cabinet who were criminally involved over the last 8 years. All Congress has to do is stand up, have a little courage (ain't that a stretch) and say, "I'm mad as hell, and I ain't gonna take it anymore" and then assert their rights as a CO-EQUAL branch of gov't. To let these rat bastards get away with murder (1 million Iraqis) and war crimes will haunt this country for the next century. They must be prosecuted and held responsible for all the crimes which they committed, including their involvement in 9-11 (to whatever degree they were involved). Lying SOBs.
