Reply #28: More "fact" than "likely" however. Rove had to admit his "forgotten" leak to Cooper [View All]

when it was clear Cooper was going to testify to the grand jury. Cooper's email to his editor regarding his converation with Rove about "Wilson's wife" was in the media even before Cooper testified. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/10/AR2005071001000.html (Luskin in this article repeats Rove's story that the Niger/Wilson discussion came at the end of discussion on another unrelated topic. Cooper would later testify that the entire conversation was about the Wilson/Niger issue.)

WH again dissembling and not just about Libby, who's maintained he wasn't a leaker, despite evidence to the contrary. It's been an established public and admitted fact for two years that Rove leaked Valerie Wilson's CIA identity to Cooper. Libby at least for the moment is still a convicted felon. But Rove is still in the WH.
