However, on another thread there is an excerpt from Newsweek and they do not go that far at all.
As I figured out immediately, Rove's name is in the notes and his lawyer confirms that. It has never been a secret that he spoke with reporters. After the Novak column.
O'Donnell is indeed spinning the Newsweek report beyond what it says.
Here's the key bits from the Newsweek story. First you get the scary innuendo:
"The e-mails surrendered by Time Inc., which are largely between Cooper and his editors, show that one of Cooper's sources was White House deputy chief of staff Karl Rove, according to two lawyers who asked not to be identified because they are representing witnesses sympathetic to the White House. Cooper and a Time spokeswoman declined to comment. But in an interview with NEWSWEEK, Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, confirmed that Rove had been interviewed by Cooper for the article. It is unclear, however, what passed between Cooper and Rove."
Then you get the boring truth a few paragraphs later:
Luskin told NEWSWEEK that Rove "never knowingly disclosed classified information" and that "he did not tell any reporter that Valerie Plame worked for the CIA." Luskin declined, however, to discuss any other details. He did say that Rove himself had testified before the grand jury "two or three times" and signed a waiver authorizing reporters to testify about their conversations with him. "He has answered every question that has been put to him about his conversations with Cooper and anybody else," Luskin said.
