 Rove's answers to the Siegelman queries the way he answers all queries; he lies.

How Rove Said He'd Answer Siegelman Prosecution Queries
http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0907/S00144.htm

"It started when Karl Rove's bag man, I call him, [disgraced lobbyist] Jack Abramoff, started putting Indian casino money into Alabama to defeat me in 1998," Siegelman told the newspaper. "Shortly after I endorsed Al Gore in 1999, Karl Rove's client, the attorney general of Alabama (Bill Pryor) started an investigation.

"In 2001, Karl Rove's business associate and political partner's wife, Leura Canary, became a US Attorney and started a federal investigation.... It started with the attorney general and the state investigation, followed by the federal investigation, followed by indictments in 2004, and then another series of indictments leading up to the 2006 election ... but, yeah, it's all part of the same case."

In March when a US Appeals Court upheld many of the corruption charges against Siegelman, Rove once again directed his supporters to the documents on his web site containing his answers to Smith's questions about the matter.

"Honoring the President's executive privilege and acting with White House approval, Karl Rove responded to Judiciary Committee questions about the prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman," Rove wrote.

Conyers did not respond to requests for comment Wednesday.

When his panel reached an agreement with Rove on March 5, Conyers said, "I am determined to have it known whether US attorneys in the Department of Justice were fired for improper political reasons, and if so, by whom."

In a statement released to NBC News Tuesday Luskin said, "The agreement setting up the interviews contemplated that they would remain entirely confidential until all the interviews were complete. Out of respect for that term of the agreement, Mr. Rove is not commenting."


These are pre-emptive lies, given stature by a Republican on the Conyers committee, in order to "taint the jury". This little weasel needs to swing (after a fair and public trial, of course).

New Evidence Reveals Feds 'Coached, Cajoled, Threatened' Star Witness in Siegelman Case
Declarations filed in former AL Governor's request for new trial, describe government prosecutors manipulating key testimony, pressuring former aide in exchange for lighter sentence
Notes, communications and required FBI disclosures said illegally withheld from defense team...
How it's even possible that former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman's bribery case and conviction has not long ago been dropped by the Dept. of Justice is beyond us. There is now so much evidence of clear conflicts of interest, overt partisan political prosecutorial targeting, failures to recuse by at least one conflicted prosecutor as well as the judge in the case, evidence withheld from the defense team, and now evidence of the coaching and strong-arming of witnesses in exchange for a lighter prison sentence and a promise to conceal embarrassing personal information, it all makes the prosecutorial misconduct in the case of former Alaska Senator Ted Stevens --- a Republican whose case was dropped by Obama's Justice Dept. shortly after they came to power --- look like jaywalking."

This is a clear miscarriage of justice.

Viagra's Latest Commercial Set in 'C Street House'
By Don Davis
"Once you've dealt with screwing your constituents, don't let erectile dysfunction get in the way. VIVA ... VIAGRA! Viagra, America's most prescribed treatment for hypocritical, sexually repressed evangelicals. Before using, ask Dr. Tom Coburn if you or your parents have enough hush money to keep your mistress and her husband quiet. Side effects may include blurred vision (never mind, you already had that Conman), upset spouses and flushing your career away. If an erection lasts for more than four hours, that's a good thing — at least it'll keep you from voting to deny health insurance to working-class Americans."

So when does Holder start bringing up charges?

Rove Had Heavier Hand in Prosecutor Firings Than Previously Known

"Political adviser Karl Rove and other high-ranking figures in the Bush White House played a greater role than previously understood in the firing of federal prosecutors almost three years ago, according to newly obtained e-mails that shed light on a scandal that led to mass Justice Department resignations and an ongoing criminal probe."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/30/AR2009073002023.html?hpid=topnews

"It's hardly surprising that Mr. Rove would minimize his involvement in the U.S. Attorney firings. . . The Committee believes that the full record will show Mr. Rove's role in the firing of the U.S. Attorneys was more substantial than his statements to the media indicate."
