Rove left the White House in 2007.

WASHINGTON (CNN) – A House committee Thursday asked former White House political adviser Karl Rove to testify about allegations that Bush administration officials pushed for federal prosecutions of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman and other Democrats.

House Judiciary Committee leaders said it is "imperative" that Rove answer allegations that he pressed the Justice Department to investigate Siegelman, a Democrat who when indicted was preparing a rematch against Alabama's Republican governor in 2006.

"We look forward to scheduling an early date for your voluntary appearance," the committee's Democratic leaders wrote in a letter released Thursday.

Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, said Thursday that President Bush's onetime political mastermind "absolutely denies he was in any way involved in the decision to prosecute Don Siegelman." Luskin said he has had no direct communication the the Judiciary Committee's staff or its chairman, Rep. John Conyers, D-Michigan, and said the White House would have to decide whether Rove will be able to testify.

The probe grew out of the administration's controversial firings of eight U.S. attorneys in 2006. The White House has invoked executive privilege to keep Rove from testifying to Congress in that case.

Siegelman was sentenced to more than seven years in prison in 2007 after his conviction on bribery, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and mail fraud charges. Prosecutors accused him of running a "pay-for-play" scheme in which he exchanged official acts and influence for cash, property and services while serving as Alabama's governor from 1999 to 2003.

A federal appeals court ordered Siegelman released on bond in March, and he is scheduled to appear before the Judiciary Committee in May as part of an investigation into allegations that the Bush administration tried to influence the prosecutions of political opponents.

A Thursday report by the committee's Democratic staff recounted what it said is "extensive evidence" that Siegelman's prosecution "was directed or promoted by Washington officials."

And it cited three other cases — including that of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, coroner Cyril Wecht, a prominent forensic pathologist and an outspoken Democrat. Wecht was charged with 84 counts of wire fraud, mail fraud and theft in 2006, but the case was declared a mistrial earlier this month.

Rep. Lamar Smith, the committee's ranking Republican, called the staff report a rehash of "sensational allegations from unreliable witnesses and so-called academic studies." He said the Republican minority is still reviewing the document.

"Unfortunately, House Democrats are so intent on slandering the Bush administration that they willingly accept outlandish claims while questioning the honest work of career federal prosecutors," Smith, R-Texas, said in a written statement. "It may come as a surprise to some Democrats, but even Democratic office holders who have committed crimes must be held accountable.

Your going to give this election to the Republicans, in what should have been a landslide for the Democrats. What a bunch of jerks, I'm switching to the GOP. I will not vote for Obama, he is such a spineless, all talk kind of person. God, I hope words are all we need to solve the problems we are facing. I think we will go into a great depression (again) if he is the next President. I will at least be able to say, "don't look at me, I wanted her." McCain at least, really loves this country, and has his whole life.

John   April 17th, 2008 11:54 pm ET

Give Karl Rove a break. He has been invited to testify before the House judiciary Committee leaders.So let us see or learn factually the outcome,instead of rushing to conclusions.

Sam   April 17th, 2008 11:28 pm ET

Let's see, I bet Rove will have a memory lapses.

Shirley   April 17th, 2008 11:26 pm ET

It has been proven that Karl Rove outed an undercover agent of the United States, this is treason. Why isn't he in prison?

RW   April 17th, 2008 11:23 pm ET

Rove may not testify now, but Obama has promised that his justice department will look into the behavior of the Bush administration justice department and if they find evidence of wrong doing they will prosecute the culprits. At the point they will no longer be able to falsely claim 'executive privilege'. It may take a while but it will be worth the wait as this administration has trampled the constitution and any justice that is supposed to go with it.

Sarah Smith   April 17th, 2008 11:09 pm ET

What a waste. Instead of calling someone sleazy, we should just call a person Rovian when he is "sleazy".

Did anyone think Karl would own up to anything?

We should just make him a human punching bag right after we neuter him. Oh I forgot he already is a gelding.

that's the way it is, so get over it.

Karl Rove is the Farmer John pig in the "Feed the pig.org" campaign. Plus, he never did anything to support Hillary, so as far as I;m concerned… he can eat a fat one.

Hillary and Nader, fool.

Haneefah   April 17th, 2008 10:21 pm ET

Can you-all just stick to the issues. All of Senator Clintons nasty attacks and slow distruction of the Democratic Party and the People of this great country that support this party. She wants to win any way and any means she can. She wants to prove to her husband that she can do better than he did by stepping on the people in a underhanded way. She is nasty/divisive and sneaky and the biggest lier walking. She said so last night herself.

Anyone else curious WHY MCCAIN ASKED ROVE FOR HELP in his current campaign after receiving such nastiness in his Presidential bid against Bush in 2000?

Because MCCAIN + BUSH =MCBUSH the same Bush policies.

MCBUSH will have the same wrong policies with the same crooked MCBUSH cronies.

NO to a Bush 3rd term. He doesn't deserve it!!!

Celina Bean   April 17th, 2008 9:28 pm ET

If he had something to do with the prosecution of this governor, I think that he should receive a long sentence. To destroy someones life for politics is the ultimate disgrace that anyone could bring to this country. He appears on Fox all of the time as if he is some real important expert, when all he is is a crook. And the fact that Fox has him on all of the time shows that they all think alike. Remember, what goes around comes around, and "be sure your sin will find you out".

If Bush prevents Rove from testifying, the House Judiciary should just wait until 1/21/09 when Hillary will gladly approve of his testifying

MD   April 17th, 2008 8:48 pm ET

He knows he's guilty. He'll find some way to weasel his way out of it.

John Smith   April 17th, 2008 8:05 pm ET

What hope is left when even someone like Dick Chaney can come out to mock Hillary about the "sniper fire" lies!!

The Dems really know how to lose. The Republicans want so much to run against Hillary, their patience is running out. So, they will send people out in large numbers to vote for Hillary now!! The Republicans always outfox the Dems; and this time, I cannot wait to see. God Bless us All!

Bush and his cohorts have always been a mean, nasty group. Siegelman was a Democrat and innocent and they manufactured evidence and lies against him for political gain and sent him to prison. I hope that Bush and Rove and all the other Republicans involved in these schemes against the Democrats go to prison for life.

Rove should answer what he knows and what he did so that Hillary will also learn from it.

Hillary is campaigning Mccain style or Republican style of campaign and democrats don't want a big destraction.
Again Hillary focus on attacks not attacking on issues or ideas ,but on misspoke, little misstakes something she also catch on in a negative tone.
Hillary herself made more misstakes than Obama, but she won't let Obama's misstake to be a mare misstakes. She has used Obama misstakes as her line on campaign and she has more lies or fablication during this campaign than Obama.

It is sad if the supperdelegates failed to stop this kind of bitterness among these 2 candidates NOW. ITCLEAR HILLARY WILL NOT RECOVER TO BEAT OBAMA WHO IS AHEAD IN POPULIRITY COUNT, MORE VOTES AND MORE WINS.

If you people spent 1/10 of your lives in a productive manner…say like working.. instead of whining and crying about Karl Rove you and this country would be far better off!

The dems spent 5 trillion dollars and 40 years fighting the war on poverty and we are still stuck in that quagmire! You libs feel great that billions are spent to help the poor, billions are spent on schools…cause its for the children, billions are being spent on social security. how much of your paycheck are you willing to give up? i am way beyond my limit. the percentage of poor is the same now as it was in the 50's. In fact, we probably could have made every "poor" person a millionaire with what we have spent. Our children are falling behind the world in every education category despite the trillions we throw at the schools each year and the program called social security has become the retirement program that none of the original drafters of the law intended. It alone will bankrupt our children…working so you mooching libs dont have to plan for your future.

the government cant get anything right. the government cant do anything efficiently. the government cant make your life better…only you can and until you understand and embrace that concept, you will be a pi$$ed off welfare rat waiting for your next handout.

if for some reason you think i am republican, you are correct. however i am conservative first. the power hungry inbreeds that occupied the last congress were no better and often times worse than the power hungry dems before them and our current collection of power hungry libs. pulosi…reed, what a joke! god help us all if the small town bashing, chicago criminal dealing, home grown terrorist befriending, racist pastor loving candidate gets elected. worse yet, the pathetic, bosnia tall tale telling, it takes a village writing, I cant stand up to my man but believe me i can stand up to those bad guys in the middle east spouting, lennin loving socialist yankee fan gets back in the whitehouse.

as for mccain, might as call him mcdem…

Honestly, if Rover ever does testify, this is how it will go:

House Dems: Mr. Rove, did you use the influence of your office to determine the outcome of this trial?

Rove: No, sir.

House Republicans: That's good enough for me!

House Dems: Harumph! Harumph! Repeat Harumphs for three more hours, then "You're excused, Mr. Rove."

Rove, just like the rest of them, will go unpunished. But I think just looking the way Rove does is punishment enough- he looks like a popped tick.

I'm just waiting for someone to bring warcrimes charges on Bush and Cheney- let's see how (and what) our Government does then.

I am a Law/Political Science student at the University of Alabama. Some of my fellow students and I have looked at the Siegelman case for months. The man is innocent. There is obvious White House involvement written all over the case file. Karl Rove and George Bush have gone after an innocent man who did so much for our state. It is truly sad to see this, but the truth will come out. And hopefully it will involve Bush and Rove's indictment for tampering.

Apollyon   April 17th, 2008 7:21 pm ET

Look people, Bush can only pardon someone that has been charged with somethng. Congress isn't going to charge anything until Bush is out of the picture. By this time next year he'll only be able to pardon himself from the room.

Bayou Joe   April 17th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

Karl Rove is not on trial, he is a witness. Wtinesses don't go on trial.
Neither do ex-presidents that get paid millions for making speeches in return for what they did when they were in office. Or for that matter
Senators that put money in their spouses law firm so that they can buy a house on sale.

I am sure that Rove will still be able to help the Republicans defeat
Obama in November. However, the Reps don't need him because
the ammo is already there to take him down. Thank you Hillary for exposing this fraud. Our nation will hold you in high regard for doing your civic duty.

Hillary Democrats now is the time to support John McCain and help us defeat the enemies of our country, both at home and abroad.

Is this America or some banana republic?

That the White House gets to decide who congress can query is absurd. I can't wait to see how Bush will control congress after he leaves the executive branch. I'm sure he has a trick or two up his sleeve. The man will not answer to anyone.

He is the uglyest politicain, I ever seen in my life.

Grady   April 17th, 2008 6:23 pm ET

Love the part about "executive privilege" and "the White House would have to decide whether Rove will be able to testify".

Is this really the system we have?!

Why would the Bush Administration allow one of their insiders tell of the crimes they have committed?

Since it's unlikely they will talk, it just simply needs to be illegal for them to refuse. Lock them up for not talking.

And I think Rove looks like the little weasel in the Princess Bride…."that's inconceivable!"

IMG   April 17th, 2008 6:22 pm ET

The Darth Vader of American Politics. Boss Tweed reincarnated? Who knows? But he is so evil, I hope they stick it to him instead some poor schmuck like Scooter Libby.

Adele   April 17th, 2008 6:21 pm ET

BUSH, Cheney, Rumsfield should all be impeached. They destroy the American economy by going into Iraq.

Neil K, Lake Forest CA   April 17th, 2008 6:20 pm ET

Voluntary testimony… as if this guy would volunteer anything but more bilge. It would be nice if I believed that anything will come of this, but I'm not holding my breath that Tubby McTreason will even be subpoenaed, let alone testify.

Stunning to think a guy like this was born on Christmas Day.

kobold   April 17th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

Take Our Country Back   April 17th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

I voted for Bush, because of ethics, but this man is a complete loser!!!!!!

So how is that working out for you? This administraton represents the most egregious abuse of power in the history of this nation. They should all be behind bars

Josef   April 17th, 2008 6:18 pm ET

ALL of the people here who have this hatred for Rove got it NOT from knowing who Rove is but from drinking the Kool-Aid from the left. Rove Beat their butts twice and they will never forgive him for it. That's all there is to it. They're living on rumors and lefty wacko innuendo.

The real idiot in this is the Alzheimer's victim Conyers. There is an illiterate old fool who is WASTING Your money and mine with this endless posturing and pure political grandstanding. This guy is the fool.

Mr Rove. You ought to tell Conyers to stuff it. Don't waste your time with that FOOL.

NormK   April 17th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

" The White House would have to decide whether Rove will be able to testify." You got to be joking! Rove made half the decisions anyway so how is this any different? Rove simply goes to Bush and says Rove shouldn't be required to testify. Bush nods his head three times and it's done.

Terry, Dallas Texas   April 17th, 2008 6:15 pm ET

He won't testify. The White House will claim that he is exempt for whatever reason and also tell him to ignore the summons if need be. The worst thing that can happen is that Bush pardons him prior to leaving office if he ends up looking at some kind of jail time that may result one way or the other. And if anyone doubts for a second that Mr. Kibby will recieve a pardon in January think again.

aliou salam, Jacksonville FL   April 17th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

what is taking so long for the democrats to impeach the bush administration?

Karl rove should be in jail for his part in the war in irak and the torture of prisoners.

Rob Mack   April 17th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

Love Huckabee I guess you did not do your homework about W otherwise you would have never voted for him. WAKE UP!!! Look into McCains record before you make another mistake. Start with the Keating 5 and ending with the fact that McCain just violated his own ethics bill McCain Finegold. Do the reasearch!!!!!!!!!!!

kevin from alaska   April 17th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

It's a shame this is what Rove is being called in to testify about.

What about Florida 2000 or Ohio 2004?

DJW   April 17th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

President Bush will pardon him!!!

marylee wagerman atlanta,ga   April 17th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

jimmy vekmen   April 17th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

the truth from Rove in Congress: UNDER OATH.

Brad   April 17th, 2008 6:03 pm ET

You voted for bush because of ethics? Is that a joke?

They should hang this guy right next to Chenay.

THE WORST   April 17th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

What a slimy reversal, he initially claimed that he had no problem testifying and now its up to the White House. THE WORST

Farrell, Houston, Tx   April 17th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

Rove is innocent until proven guilty, however if proven guilty during the Bush administration, Bush will pardon him. Bush and Cheney will never face their crimes. Alberta Gonzales is doing his time, nobody wants to hire him.

lovable liberal   April 17th, 2008 5:58 pm ET

"Rep. Lamar Smith, the committee's ranking Republican, called the staff report a rehash of "sensational allegations from unreliable witnesses and so-called academic studies."

People who still believe what Republicans say are slow learners.

jesse sturkens   April 17th, 2008 5:58 pm ET

why is it,the news media not being fair? about the way your're reporting the news about this election.last night proved my point.for a half an hour it was about putting sen.Obama on the defense which i thought was so unfair.and when he wouldn't bite on sen.clinton lie's she has told,then you want to say he is weak,well the i see it you show strenth when you rise above trash when it's thrown at you that just what sen.Obama did.but all of you want to put a spin on and make it look like his weak.sorry that dog wantn't hunt.cnn.fox.need to take a hike and let this election run it's course.you notice i didn't mention msnbc. they kieth Oberman i know miss spelled his name but he got it right you guys need to take notes.starting today

GARY   April 17th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

I know that the Bush will claim executive privlege. Rove will never appear.

Bob Stephens   April 17th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

Oh..Oh.. Karl Rove is in trouble now.. This is one jam that Bush won't be able to bail him out of…. Oh well, every dog has their day…..

Ian   April 17th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

Hopefully if he is sentenced to any time in prison, it's done after December 31st!!!!

jaci in oregon   April 17th, 2008 5:53 pm ET

love huckabee, are you kidding about bush and ethics? and if not, what ethics might those be cuz 80% of americans can see plain as day that he has NONE!!!!!

rove is the brains, bush is the idiot puppet! both are rotten to the core

Katie, Madisonville, TN   April 17th, 2008 5:52 pm ET

Rove reminds me of those sleazy types that Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre played in film noirs from the forties. Those guys generally got what was coming to them in the movies. I doubt very seriously that Rove will, though. Like Vince from Phoenix, above, I'm waiting for the first WH squawk of "executive privilege."

jaci in oregon   April 17th, 2008 5:51 pm ET

they'd better attach the creep to a lie detector machine cuz this bloated loser lies as much as condi, rummy, darth vader, and the shrub!

good luck trying to get the truth from this POS!!!!!!!

for the rest of his miserable bloated life rove MUST BE followed and watched, this guy cant be trusted as far as anyone can throw him (which is NOT AT ALL).

Gary Mitchell   April 17th, 2008 5:51 pm ET

Darth Vadik, CA   April 17th, 2008 5:50 pm ET

Love Huckabee,

Why do religious people think they have better morals, seriously asking, because all these ultra religious people seem to be the freakiest of all?

Usually the ones who scream the loudest against sinning are the ones who are the worst sinners, just my observation.

Gary Mitchell   April 17th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

Somebody please get this guy. If Carl Rove escapes this administration unscathed, we owe G. Gordon Libby et al an apology (and we don't). He has been the author of every dirty trick and (border line) illegal act of this administration.

Carl   April 17th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

Anyone else love the fact you can say these things and not be punished? But, of course, when you throw out your "Obama '08″ garbage, you're voting for a socialist and someone who would end up restricting your rights on these forums…

I find it hilarious. I'm not saying anything positive on Bush, but he's SO BAD as our leader, we are looking to elect something totally different…

DLB, Atlanta, GA   April 17th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

It seems that the president may or may not allow him to testify. If he does that's good. If not that's fine as well. After the election is over and Bush is out of office and a new administration is in office, who will cover Row and Bush’s backside. Not the new administration and I don’t think that any one of the Republicans that will be in any office when this is over will want there name on anything trying to protect the truth from coming out because it would be their end in office. This administration will get everything they have coming to them and the voters will see to that. Society will always remember you for what you did, both good and bad. In this case history will forever remember this administration and what they have done to this great country. America Lives On! Thank God for that!!!

nader   April 17th, 2008 5:48 pm ET

I mean, he can't be trusted.

Enough said   April 17th, 2008 5:48 pm ET

Man… the Repubs. are in a bad way. Every time I see or hear McCain I wonder …. "is this the best the Repubs. can do?" Believe me, I'm no pollster, but I personally do not know anyone who supports McCain. The only supporters I see or hear about are on T.V. or in a poll.

nader   April 17th, 2008 5:47 pm ET

He should be investigated and prosecuted if he did anything wrong. You can trust his words. He is a big monster.

Angela   April 17th, 2008 5:47 pm ET

No question that he was involved - but can anyone prove it? He is smart enough to cover his tracks - as he did with the outing of Valerie Plame.

King of NJ   April 17th, 2008 5:46 pm ET

Im a Democrat and If he ever teaches anywhere…i wanna know what he knows

Tim from Eugene OR.   April 17th, 2008 5:45 pm ET

This man is probably the most responsible person in this country for dividing this country. Bush had a 90 plus approval ratting after we were attacked and instead of using it to get the American people behind him to accomplish great things for this country he divided us all into hate camps. I would like to see him at least spend the same amount of time behind bars as the gov. did. He is evil and a shameful excuse of an American. Doubt they will get him though.

Chris from San Antonio   April 17th, 2008 5:45 pm ET

Rove denies it? I'm sold. No need for further questioning.

Emmanuel   April 17th, 2008 5:43 pm ET

Hello karl, I am an OBAMA supporter and I wanted you to know that Justice may be delayed but never denied. It's your turn Karl take it like a man.

Rose   April 17th, 2008 5:42 pm ET

I am sure Rove has no humanity and grace to begin with….so honesty, dignity, faith and justice and integrity are not in his dictionary…what a lame life to live with…

JA Cook   April 17th, 2008 5:42 pm ET

Don't forget that Presidents leaving office dole out pardons like Halloween candy. The timing is perfect for Rove to be at Bush's front door with his hands out.

Bill Clinton proved to be pretty generous at the end of his Presidency. Bush has many more potentially in need of his Get Out of Jail Free cards.

rezagui1@hotmail.com   April 17th, 2008 5:41 pm ET

Interesting how FOX claims to be such a patriotic station, and they have this bum on as a paid regular on their show. They have the eye of newt too. They must really hate our country. I think they are informational terrorists in disguise as a real news station. I have to go. I feel the need to vomit coming on strong.

Greg, San Francisco, CA   April 17th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

He'll never testify. Bush will claim Executive Privilege or some such nonsense to cover his and Rove's respective behinds. There will be no justice for any of the criminals in the Bush Administration while GWB occupies the White House and if, God forbid, John McCain becomes President.

dar   April 17th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

I hate that guy!

linda   April 17th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

You can tell Obama's suporters are Republicans because, they are allways "Spell Checking" other people's post, and i might add the Republicans are damm good "Spell Checkers".

MD   April 17th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

Bush had no ethics. We all saw how he got into the White House. It is no surprise that Rove turned out to be the sleezeball that he is.

Whatever comes out of his dirty mouth is a self-serving lie.

Aaron, Sterling VA   April 17th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

maybe you all didn't read the article… it says it's a "voluntary" appearance and that the white house will decide if he'll testify. do you REALLY think the white house will say O.K.? C'mon, open your eyes, people.

Praetorian, Fort Myers   April 17th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

Yawn…..

My God when will this congress turn it's attention on something important to the citizens of this country!!

The Sentate and House of Representatives–needs an enema. We need to move in Independants and Libertarians—-the Dems and GOP are really letting us down.

HillaryisMcCain   April 17th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

Hmm, I'm sure the Hillary campaign is very upset today since Rove is one of their chief strategists

dar   April 17th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

Reinstate stoning for the bush cronies……the American people should be disgusted with all the lies and corruption. Watch the Frontline videos about the Iraq war/occupation - Donny Rumsfeld made the worst decisions in history!

NickSanDiego   April 17th, 2008 5:35 pm ET

Thats the problem with our spineless government. They keep ASKING Bushs people to Testify instead of MAKING them. UNDER OATH!

bill   April 17th, 2008 5:34 pm ET

He should have tried for treason for his part in outing a CIA agent. That does not even scrape the surface. Wait till all the other stuff breaks. Maybe they ought to all be held financially at fault for misleading us into Iraq.

Clare E. Kapphahn   April 17th, 2008 5:34 pm ET

He should have been put into jail months ago. He is part of this administration that has destroyed this nation. Use some of the same tactics they used on prisoners.

wolfsbane   April 17th, 2008 5:33 pm ET

This cannot stop at Rove.

Bush will pardon his entire administration, but Obama has pledged to investigate and to find what damage has been done to our country, our rights, by this administration.

OBAMA 08

rd   April 17th, 2008 5:33 pm ET

Karl Rove's biggest crime is the one that Democrats can never, ever forgive, and never will. Simply put, he proved how dim-witted and irrational Democrats are–a point that many on this thread have proven quite nicely. Face it Dems, he's made you eat crow before, and he will do it again.

Pam   April 17th, 2008 5:32 pm ET

"Unfortunately, House Democrats are so intent on slandering the Bush administration that they willingly accept outlandish claims while questioning the honest work of career federal prosecutors," Smith, R-Texas, said in a written statement. "It may come as a surprise to some Democrats, but even Democratic office holders who have committed crimes must be held accountable.

That sums it up best

look byond   April 17th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

Ratgurl   April 17th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

JHR Arizona   April 17th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

This Man is pure evil. he has no respect for anyone, but himself

Ken   April 17th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

Does Rep. Lamar Smith even live in the real world? I think instead he continues to live in the denial world set up by his disgraced buddy Delay. It is a typical Delay/Rove tactic to take the allegations against the [R] party and mindlessly parrot them back at the [D]s.

Given the convicted corruption and child molestation that permeates the top of the [R] political heap, and the widespread support that heap gets amongst RANK-and-file [R]s, is there any reason to take any thing seriously that any of them say? They have earned their irrelavancy. I mean what a joke it is to hear these words from a Delay crony: "It may come as a surprise to some Democrats, but even Democratic office holders who have committed crimes must be held accountable." It certainly DID come as a surprise to [R]s when their criminals, cheats, and child molesters were held accountable. And we're STILL trying to wring the rest of that foul [R] smell out of our capital.

King   April 17th, 2008 5:28 pm ET

Disgusting human being. Did I call Carl Rove human? He is an animal who deserves nothing but jail. Unfortunately, the Ds are weak and this guy will get away again.

Love Huckabee:
You voted for Bush because of "ETHICS"???? HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! I'd sure like to know whom you consider a crook!

These criminals in the Bush Administration AND Justice Department only have 8 months of protection left. Then the hammer is going to fall! And I can't wait! Bush isn't going to be around to pull Roves fat out of the fire like he did Scooter. Justice and the Rule of Law will prevail… eventually.

Darth Vadik, CA   April 17th, 2008 5:25 pm ET

Hey they eventually got Al Capone on tax evasion, I don't care what charges they get this slimy weasel on, I just want him behind bars, hopefully after Bush leaves the office, so he doesn't get a pardon.

Hec in SA   April 17th, 2008 5:24 pm ET

This is the problem with radical Dem liberals drunk on Congressional power. Rather than address REAL threats and enemies to this nation (turd-world terrorists hellbent on sawing the head off of every "infidel" possible) they waste tax dollars on a witch hunt against a political opponent. Hey, by the way, Dems have been in charge of congress for 18 mos now, with nothing, zero, zilch, nada, to show for it. So how's that working out for ya?

Greg Ebert, Portland, OR   April 17th, 2008 5:23 pm ET

Rove will parrot the most famous and over-used Republican testimony:

"I DONT RECALL"

DS in SD   April 17th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

HAHA YES! GET HIM! Rove deserves no less than life in prison for all his dirty deeds.

kathleen retired Professional w/woman for obama   April 17th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

sylvia lambert   April 17th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

it lookes to me that the only thing you are doing is giving hillery a bad rap. she is not the only one that is not telling the truth, obama has refused to admit his knowladge about his paster practice of recism against the white race and the usa, and catholic religion. don't you know the he voted and asken to remove it because he made a mistake in his voting, this too is a ustrusted act, so please report this and get the action from the american voters. i will be checking with you on this via t.v. and cnn.

mitch from ark.   April 17th, 2008 5:18 pm ET

rove ,bush,and cheney ,should all be on trial!but,let's wait until they're out of office ,so bush can't pardon himself and his mates.

Love Huckabee   April 17th, 2008 5:16 pm ET

I voted for Bush, because of ethics, but this man is a complete loser!!!!!!

Nicknas   April 17th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

Only thing I want to see about this pig in court about is his own sentencing

Robert S., New Orleans, Louisiana   April 17th, 2008 5:10 pm ET

I wonder if Rove will ever be held accountable for any of his ruthless tactices. Or Bush. Or Cheney.

Andy Stein   April 17th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

I'm not sure what to make of the allegations, but I just wanted to go on record as saying I think Karl Rove is an evil-doer. That's right, an evil-doer!

john   April 17th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

I heard Mr Siegelman's interview after he was released from jail. I am convinced that he is telling the truth and that Mr Rove has much to account for under oath. I would be fearful if I were in the Republican side of the aisle and continued to whine about unnecessary Democratic investigations. This is why we elected a Democratic majority and why the trend will continue until we finish flushing out all the Enablers of this country's worse administration, ever.

Obama will be President   April 17th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

Rove is getting fatter by the hour.

I was born, raised, and live in Alabama. I do not believe the allegations to be true. Anything Karl Rove has to do with is more than likely corrupt.

jon   April 17th, 2008 4:52 pm ET

i remember hearing about this case on 60 minutes and was stunned that this guy was sentenced to 7 years for such a weak case against him. it is another clear-cut example of the bush administration's abuse of power, that has occurred since day one. I only hope history looks upon bush and his cronies the way the rightfully should…as the most politically repressive, corrupt, and abusive administration in the history of this country.

Blake   April 17th, 2008 4:52 pm ET

Does this guy look honest? Look at him in this picture. Karl Roooooooooovvvveee. His name sounds so ominous. I know this is not an intelectual statment, but sometimes you have to go with your feelings. This guy, Karl Rove, gives me the willies.

Excellence   April 17th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

"What goes around comes around!". Like his boss, Rove shows no regard for the law. Maybe, he will understand now.
