We don’t get Rove’s testimony until February 23, at the earliest. But at least by then, Obama will legitimately be running DOJ, which gives him several additional ways to respond to this.

Golly. Both Karl Rove and his defense attorney are beating up on Obama because he acceded to Patrick Fitzgerald’s request that he hold off a week so as to give Fitzgerald time to move the investigation forward. But Rove himself refuses to talk about his role in this corruption ring. So do you think Rove is trying to give Obama some unsolicited political advice? Or trying to scuttle the investigation?
