Bc I think before you even get to whether or not the power was exercised for illegal purposes, you have to get to whether or not the power was exercised. By the President. Whose spokesperson said that he did not make any firing recommendations.

Provide an all inclusive list of persons who recommended or did place names on the list of USAs to be fired or considered for firing.

Did the President fire any USAs?

Who, if not the President, did fire any USAs?

Who assigned the task of creating a list of USAs to be considered for firing or for firing?

Who created the order to create the list?

Was there a plan to prosecute, smear or otherwise make life difficult for governors or other politicians?

Who created that policy or plan to execute that plan?

Frankly, such a plea would indicate that the Congress did not do it’s job two years ago and that the White House and the people in OWHC might well be involved in a cover-up…certainly many of them will probably voluntarily testify to Congress, possibly with limited immunity, if Rove takes the 5th.

Congresses popularity will take another blow…and so will Obama’s…for having ironed out an agreement that only got us to know that two years earlier, the legal system failed. Of course, if Rove does take the 5th, you can bet that the Obama administration will start becoming much more cooperative with Congress on this matter…and probably others having to do with Rove and Gonzalez’s finger prints on various other polices and actions taken during the Bush administration.

So, I doubt Karl is going to plead the 5th anytime soon…although…hmm…

At least, apparently, so far as most of the Political Cla$$ is concerned.

One wonders just how profitable these last eight years have been for that class. How much have they ‘invested’ in the assault on reason, justice and humanity and what have they gotten in ‘return’?

Oh I forgot.

That is a secret.

National security and all that …

Thank you, Mary, yet again, for helping us make what sense can be made of today’s American ‘reality’.
