Here’s the factual story about Bush’s decision not to pardon Scooter Libby.

Time has allowed a bunch of Bush partisans to put a nice spin on his non-pardon of Libby.

Did Fred Fielding report Gonzales’ loose treatment of TS/SCI information to chase him out of the Administration?

Fred Fielding, with a straight face, admits that he and the White House were just making shit up when they invented “absolute immunity.”

Like Don Siegelman, David Iglesias doesn’t buy Fred Fielding’s claim that Rove’s subpoena pertained to Rove’s “official duties.”

Don Siegelman responds to the question I’ve been asking for over a week: How can Fred Fielding claim that it was part of Rove’s “official duties” to conduct witch hunts against Democrats?

I have to conclude that Peter Carr doesn’t want to say whether or not DOJ advise Fred Fielding that Rove’s “Official Duties” involve witch hunts against Democrats. I wonder why that is.

Now why do you think the DOJ is having such a tough time answering a very simple question: whether or not they did–as Fred Fielding has claimed–tell the White House that Karl Rove’s alleged actions in the Siegelman prosecution were part of his “official duties” while at the White House?

Up until the moment when Fred Fielding claimed Rove’s actions in the Siegelman affair were part of his “official duties,” those actions, by themselves, may not have been illegal. But as soon as Siegelman made that claim, they became clear Hatch Act violations.

Just about everyone believes that Bush invoked executive privilege to prevent Rove from having to testify today. But that’s not what happened.
