"In addition, word is that Rove made some sort of presentation to Fitzgerald in the last days of the investigation that made Fitzgerald less inclined to take action against Rove. What that involved is not clear."
I know what it involved. The round table on FOX talked about it - because when it was noted by the press that Rove must be in big trouble since he was meeting with Fitz for a FOURTH time .. and the media was doing it's usual salivating. But .. it turned out that after Cooper gave his testimony to the GJ and came out and gave his little speech to the media .. Rove had immediately called Fitz and REQUESTED an opportunity to rebutt what Cooper had said.
And .. I remember sending an email to FOX about some of their other reporters saying Rove was called by Fitz to testify again .. and that wasn't true .. Rove volunteered. Finally, after 2-3 days, most of the reporters on FOX began saying Rove "requested" the 4th trip to testify.
Fox has disappointed me with their coverage on this. They had the odious Walter Pincus, social acquaintace and involed in this case, as a talking head.
And the blonde in front of the court house looked a little too gleeful and a little too anxious for a public and humiliating arrest for Libby.
The true conservatives on Fox are few.
If I recall .. that little speech Cooper gave didn't mention a conversation with Libby
