Time has new Rove Info.



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Hat tip to Think Progress for pointing us to this.

Seems Karl didn't get his info. about Plame from reporters after all according to Time:

As the investigation tightens into the leak of the identity of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame, sources tell TIME some White House officials may have learned she was married to former ambassador Joseph Wilson weeks before his July 6, 2003, Op-Ed piece criticizing the Administration. That prospect increases the chances that White House official Karl Rove and others learned about Plame from within the Administration rather than from media contacts. Rove has told investigators he believes he learned of her directly or indirectly from reporters, according to his lawyer.
As if the master of all politics learned something like that from a reporter. In the Bush White House, policy and politics are the same thing -- and all roads lead to and through Rove.

Now if Karl told something different to the FBI or the Grand Jury...he's in big trouble. And this also increases the likelihood that people in the White House knew Plame's undercover status when they were outing her.
