STATEMENT OF ROBERT LUSKIN, ATTORNEY FOR KARL ROVE Tue Jun 13 2006 07:14:31 ET

Washington, DC—Robert Luskin, Attorney for Karl Rove today released the following statement:

“On June 12, 2006, Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald formally advised us that he does not anticipate seeking charges against Karl Rove.

“In deference to the pending case, we will not make any further public statements about the subject matter of the investigation. We believe that the Special Counsel's decision should put an end to the baseless speculation about Mr. Rove’s conduct.”

DNC Chair Howard Dean: "If Karl Rove had been indicted it would have been for perjury. That does not excuse his real sin which is leaking the name of an intelligence operative during the time of war. He doesn't belong in the White House. If the President valued America more than he valued his connection to Karl Rove then Karl Rove would have been fired a long time ago. So I think this is probably good news for the White House, but its not very good news for America."

I'm sure that we will be hearing heartfelt aplogies from the left for having tried and convicted Rove in the media. They are after all fair, compassionate people.

More from Drudge:

----------
More than two hours into the news cycle, truthout.org, a site which famously splashed the headline last month, 'Karl Rove Indicted on Charges of Perjury, Lying to Investigators,' a headline which ignited a firestorm in the underground, still featured no announcement of Rove NOT being charged.

Truthout.org was still standing by its story.

MSNBC's Keith Olbermann's page also carried no word on Rove being cleared, despite months of assuring his audience [ON MORE THAN 26 DIFFERENT PROGRAMS, ACCORDING TO NEXIS] how the Bush adviser faced indictment.

This is fun, ain't it?

Of course, I could be wrong, but I'm giving him/her the botd.

Sorry for the confusion ... I was simply pasting a response I found elsewhere (that seemed to fit the dire predictions). The all caps was original, and not added by me. I did provide a link below the post ... trust me, I couldn't dream this stuff up in a million years. The rational part of my brain is not suffering from overexposure to Howard Dean.

Yes. Wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one fills up quickes. Matthews is in the middle of a fugue storm. Will he even show up the MSNBC today is the real question? His whole lifes work and meaning just went down the tube. Rove is clean and I doubt Matthews can wrap his mind around that notion.

The smear-media won't care a bit about correcting anything - they've already achieved what they wanted, which was to tie up Rove and the WH for 3 years with baseless smears. Now, of course, the new talking point ala Howie (Scumbag) Dean will be to keep the smear going by talking about the supposed 'outing' of Valerie Pflame again.

Truthout.org has been shown to be completely without scruples or competence. Jason Leopold deserves to be sued for libel, since his misreporting was obviously contrary to fact AND done with blatant malice. However, public figures can almost never benefit from pursuing a libel case against such smear merchants - it would just help to keep the story going.

The MEDIA SPIN is that Rove is guilty and the prosecutor knows he's guilty but in a display of prosecutorial deference the prosecutor won't prosecute because although he knows Rove is guilty he unfortunately doesn't have sufficient evidence to win the case, but Rove is still guilty.
