Rep. John Conyers: When Was the President Told?


quote[Today’s New York Daily News reports that “[a]n angry
President Bush rebuked chief political guru Karl Rove two years ago for his role in the Valerie Plame affair..” and that Rove conceded to Bush that “he had talked to the press about the Plame leak.”

Yet, just last year on June 11, 2004, the President responded affirmatively when asked if he would “fire anyone found to” have leaked the agent’s name.
...
If this story is true, it raises troubling questions to me -- and I think should trouble the White House Press Corps as well.

If Rove told the President about his role in the leak, why did the President say what he said last year?

If Rove told the President about his role in the leak two years ago, did that occur before or after McClellan made these statements? If it was before, why did McClellan say what he said? If it was after, why has he never corrected the record?]


Simple answer: Team Bush can't help lying; it's just their nature.
