Rove Doesn’t Deny Involvement in Siegelman Case
by QuestionGirl • 4:59 pm

From the Huffington Post:

Former Bush chief strategist Karl Rove deliberately declined to deny his involvement in the controversial prosecution of Don Siegelman, the former Alabama Governor whose arrest on grounds of corruption appeared politically motivated.

In an at times dismissive interview with ABC’s “This Week” Rove said that he would not respond to a subpoena by the House Judiciary Committee imploring his testimony in the Siegelman case. Asked if he had ever made contact with the Justice Department, the man known as Bush’s brain said:

“I read about — I’m going to simply say what I’ve said before, which is I found out about Don Siegelman’s investigation and indictment by reading it in the newspaper.”

“But that’s not a denial,” said the host George Stephanopoulos.

“I’ve — you know, I read - I heard about it, read about it, learned about it for the first time by reading about it in the newspaper,” Rove replied.
