VIDEO: Rove Says He Won’t Answer Subpoena

Rove on Conyers: 'He's Captain Ahab and I'm the whale'

O'Reilly: 'If you need a place to hide, we have it here at The Factor'

Share article:

Last night, on Bill “Paul Revere” O’Reilly’s show on Fox “News,” Karl Rove said he planned to refuse to testify before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee next Monday, as required by the new Congressional subpoena he was served on Monday.

Mr. “Revere” noted, at the end of the interview, that he offered Rove the opportunity to not discuss the issue on the program. “I told Mr. Rove, ‘Look, if you don’t want to talk about this tonight, you don’t have to,'” the hard-nosed, fair and objective, no-spin “newsman” said.

Offering further to further aide and abet Rove in dodging the rule of law and a Congressional subpoena, the courageous O’Reilly told Rove, “If you need a place to hide out, we have it here at the Factor.” Impressive stuff. Video via RAW STORY…

UPDATE 1/30/09: House Judiciary’s Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) says Rove will either testify or go to jail. (Also, hearing date postponed to Feb. 23rd) Video, details…

    Rove at least looked …. ‘worried’. Not happy at all. He was quick to foist the blame upon the Bush admin legal team as his cover his ass move.

    Let’s hope the court feels as 99.99% of americans do, that noone is above the law, not even presidents and those who serve them.

    I just hope Bush didn’t swing some deal with Obama for topics like this.

    Perfect justice
    Rove gets the death penalty for treason

    Decent justice
    Rove serves ~5 years or more in prison for breaking the law.

    Sad justice
    Rove is found guilty and gets a slap on the wrist.

    Probable justice
    Rove never has to go to court, never gets arrested, and continues to be paid as a political correspondent. Of course even the convicted criminals from the Nixon era are paid by Faux news to do this now.

    i’d like to thank the rove for clarifying that he is not a witch. the witches i know would shudder to think…

    as for all the poor whales out there, well let’s just hope they don’t tune in to the msm anymore than the rest of us do.

    And personally Mr. Conyers, I’d think this Country should have all the FACTS on 9/11. Their story doesn’t add up and ms speakers actions leave me feeling sick quite frankly. This is my Country not some unholy crew’s!

    ancient,seems like 9-11 gonna forever remain one of those white elephants that take up all the space in room but r never spoken,kinda like when reagan infected the country with cocaine while pretending to fight the war on drugs

    here in illinois,they have impeached the gov that really did fight for health care for every child,free paps and mamograms,lowered taxes and gave seniors free rides

    i think about the local repub bill brady that plans to run for gov in 2010,a silver spoon country club kid that nevr had to work for anything in his life,i think about how when the soe software makes him gov,he not gonna care if my grandkids have healthcare or even a school(afterall his r in a private catholic school),and he sure wont care if the peanut butter is contaminated..and then when illinois turns red in 2012,the msm will pretend every1 thought it was coming all along just like they pretend gov rod b getting prosecuted had anything to do with justice

    if fitzgerald wasnt a crook himself he would of prosecuted cheney for violations of the presidential records act long ago

    if anyone wants to read about the soe software that is terrifying me,bbv has it listed as her “middleman series”

    Like I said a week ago, Rove will ignore the Subpoena and Conyers will do NOTHING.

    What a disgustingly inept Congress.
