Rove Blew CIA Agent's Cover (O'Donnell says NewsWeak is outing him next week)

Huffington Compost ^ | Lawrence O'Donnell

I revealed in yesterday's taping of the McLaughlin Group that Time magazine's emails will reveal that Karl Rove was Matt Cooper's source. I have known this for months but didn't want to say it at a time that would risk me getting dragged into the grand jury.

McLaughlin is seen in some markets on Friday night, so some websites have picked it up, including Drudge, but I don't expect it to have much impact because McLaughlin is not considered a news show and it will be pre-empted in the big markets on Sunday because of tennis.

Since I revealed the big scoop, I have had it reconfirmed by yet another highly authoritative source. Too many people know this. It should break wide open this week. I know Newsweek is working on an 'It's Rove!' story and will probably break it tomorrow.

I know! He'll start spitting!

Lawrence O'Donnell is in the foreground and Matt Cooper is in the background. Playing 'Dumb & Dimmer' trying to police the media. Total Bovine Squat. Duuuuh ! DUH ! duuuuH !

[cyncooper]

Is this common, for someone in Rove's position to know who individual CIA agents are?

Rove didn't even know Wilson went to Niger, let alone who recommended him, until Wilson revealed it in his column.

Since the Wilson column was published when the President was in Africa and the administration response was uncharacteriscally inept showing they clearly had no idea what was going on, that alone demonstrates it wasn't anyone from those quarters.

[Howlin]

I just LOVE saying it..........they were RABID about it for MONTHS.

[Miss Marple]

Wow, I hadn't read the whole transcript. O'Donnell is flat-out bonkers, isn't he?

[cyncooper]

this O'Donnell guy was continuously specualating about the source being another name... I just can't recall that name.

Probably Scooter Libby?

Libby was another name the dems tossed around with abandon until he was cleared by reluctant reporters (including Matt Cooper).

..........they were RABID about it for MONTHS

That's putting it mildly

I've had that article bookmarked---not sure why you're flagging me to it, but thanks!

Who is Lawrence O'Donnell and why he should not be taken seriously:

Was Rove "in the White House" at the time of the leak? Didn't he get his job in the WH after the last election?

[Indy Pendance]

Here's the video. It's about 6 minutes, but really should be seen.

[STARWISE]

I can just see Wilson, thinking he's so suave and debonair, adjusting his ascot, while he whispers what his wife does -- using her position and embellishing it to give him credibility .. all the while, making his dastardly attempt to undermine W. I think he's the culprit and his Klintonite Kabal .. then he squeals afterward that her cover's been blown by the WH, who I don't believe authorized or had any specific knowledge of his "adventure."

[bill1952]

I confess I really don't know this O'donnall guy.

Who, or what, is he?

[BIGLOOK]

Valerie Plame was an undercover agent. She was sleeping with a (former) US Ambassador.

Somehow this leaked out.

[Indy Pendance]

Watch the video at post #51.

[cyncooper]

Has anyone ever seen somebody "dragged" into a grand jury? Pet peeve of mine.

You're not alone. During the Starr grand jury I noticed that witnesses were "dragged" or "hauled".

That's the lefty way when they don't like an investigation. When they do, a witness is simply "called".

[tobyhill]

No crime from anyone was committed by giving her name. The Grand Jury has to determine that the individual(s) knew Plame was an undercover operative and leaked it on purpose. I personally think the GJ is beyond that because they haven't reinterviewed any administration official to clarify any issues or get someone on perjury. Novak had probably already testified to who it was and the judge is testing Miller and Cooper to see who he has to send to jail for defying his order.

[hipaatwo]

I didn't follow this Plame thing much. I wasn't much into politics when this happened. The one thing I do know is that O'Donnell is completely insane. It will be nice to see the DUmmies get their hopes up and once again their brains smashed in with disappointment.

[Textide]

Thought so, but was just checking. 8P

FOFL!! .. thanks for that link
