Karl Rove Under The Microscope
KARL ROVE UNDER THE MICROSCOPE....Oh my:
The Office of Special Counsel is preparing to jump into one of the most sensitive and potentially explosive issues in Washington, launching a broad investigation into key elements of the White House political operations that for more than seven years have been headed by chief strategist Karl Rove.I have a longstanding belief that Rove will never be seriously touched by any investigation. He's too good at keeping his fingerprints off the wetwork. But I'd love to be proven wrong.The new investigation, which will examine the firing of at least one U.S. attorney, missing White House e-mails, and White House efforts to keep presidential appointees attuned to Republican political priorities, could create a substantial new problem for the Bush White House.
...."We will take the evidence where it leads us," Scott J. Bloch, head of the Office of Special Counsel and a presidential appointee, said in an interview Monday. "We will not leave any stone unturned."
