I recognize that at some point I’m going to have to read Karl Rove’s book propaganda. But until I find it lying around somewhere for almost-free right next to at least a six-pack of equally almost-free beer, I’m going to let Main Justice read it so I don’t have to. They’ve got a fairly detailed [...]

Allen Stanford found the perfect guy to defend him even though his prospects of payment are slim: Robert “Gold Bars” Luskin.

Now why do you suppose Robert Luskin went to the trouble of orchestrating a limited hang-out in the NYT and WaPo yesterday?

The WaPo reveals that they had an hour-long interview with Karl Rove earlier this month–at which he tried to spin his role in the US Attorney firings. Apparently, though, his spin was debunked by documents the WaPo received.

I spoke with a Washington lawyer who has dealt with many presidential privilege issues and he (or is it she?) raised some interesting questions

Funny. Lamar Smith’s attempt to save Karl Rove’s ass was not an attempt to gather information for the Subcommittee.

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

Dan Abrams responds to Karl Rove’s accusations on Don Siegelman. He is not amused.

What do you know? Robert Luskin now claims he didn’t promise to have Rove testify before Congress. That didn’t take long.
