2. Rove will be protected by Executive Privilege according to Bush, but who is it to blame

that Bush is still in office?? Bush has destroyed our country and Speaker Pelosi couldn't care less.

I am always interested in the lawyers involved in these cases. Luskin is supposedly a Democrat, Harvard Law and Rhodes Scholar from Oxford University.

**In 1997, US Attorney Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island accused Luskin of "willful blindness" for accepting $505,125 in gold bars as well as Swiss Wire transfers of $169,000 from Stephen Saccoccia. Saccoccia is a convicted money-launderer who laundered money for several Columbian drug cartels. Luskin represented Saccoccia in the appellate phase of the case well after Saccoccia was convicted. Whitehouse argued that Saccoccia's payments to Luskin were related to Saccoccia's broad money-laundering scheme and that the money should be returned to the government. In 1998, Luskin settled with the government, forfeiting $245,000 in fees. <1>** This was sourced from wiki.

Luskin and Rove, quite a pair.
