Two More on Rove

From RAW STORY: "Video: Dean says Rove's 'real sin' going unpunished:

DEAN: If Karl Rove would have been indicted, it would have been for perjury. That does not excuse his real sin, which was leaking the name of an intelligence operative during a time of war. He doesn't belong in the White House, and if the President valued America more than he valued his connection to Karl Rove, Karl Rove would have been fired a long time ago. So, I think this is probably good news for the White House, but it's not very good news for America.

NBC: But what does it mean for Democrats in the context of the mid-term elections?

DEAN: I don't think it means anything. I think that, you know, Karl Rove is clearly the political mastermind behind the Republicans, but I think he would have continued to exercise that role even if he had been indicted. So, I don't think this means much."
"Statement from Christopher Wolf, attorney for outed CIA officer Valerie Plame Wilson:

"We have become aware of the communication between Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Luskin concerning Karl. Rove's status in the criminal investigation. We have no first-hand knowledge of the reason for the communication or what further developments in the criminal investigation it may signal. While it appears that Mr. Rove will not be called to answer in criminal court for his participation in the wrongful disclosure of Valerie Wilson's classified employment status at the CIA in retaliation against Joe Wilson for questioning the rationale for war in Iraq, that obviously does not end the matter. The day still may come when Mr. Rove and others are called to account in a court of law for their attacks on the Wilsons."
