WASHINGTON (CNN) - Former Bush administration official Karl Rove is scheduled to be interviewed Friday about why a number of U.S. attorneys were fired in 2006, according to an attorney in private practice familiar with the
case.
Rove will be questioned by Nora Dannehy, a Connecticut prosecutor who was appointed last year to lead an investigation into whether any Bush administration officials broke any laws in connection with the dismissals.
A spokesman for Dannehy would not comment when asked whether a meeting is scheduled with Rove.
Rove's attorney, Robert Luskin, would not comment on whether his client will be interviewed Friday. But he told CNN, "Rove has said since Ms. Dannehy was appointed that he would cooperate fully with her investigation."
A Justice Department report last year found the firings of some U.S. attorneys were influenced by political considerations.

I hope they pin that guy with something.
Make sure he's under oath! Otherwise, his testimony isn't worth a plug nickel!
Torture the little milque toast to see if he'll cooperate!
Relax, Turd Blossom. Looks like nothing done by you guys is of much interest to President Obama. He prefers to focus on the future and leave ugly truths behind. Good news for those of your creed who operated under rocks and in dark places for the past 8 years. I don't know what is worse, you and your kind or Obama just ignoring it all.
I highly recommend they use an enhanced interrogation technique I've heard about called WATERBOARDING-I've heard it gets results and prevents further ruination of our nation by undesirable types who have failed America throughout the previous EIGHT years.........DO IT FOR AMERICA-if you are not with us you are against us!!!
Karl Rove ...
Is the worst kind of human ...
Who deserves, the worst of treatment
The Catholic HELL ... would be too good ... if it existed ... for such scum ...
ROVE is Da Man!!!
"The Architect".....to bad Bush couldn't run against Obama.....
Put this bag of pus in the slammer...then waterboard him, take his clothes off and give him the same treatment Bush and his crime family used. Then do the same thing to the Penguin....er, I mean Cheney.
Maybe if he was waterboarded 80 times he might tell something. What? Hey, it isn't torture, it's just a mind game, right?
It's about time this criminal be held accountable.
LOL @ brian
Karl Rove ... deserves
An Apple in his mouth ...
And a shiskabob blade up his a–ss
As well does Cheney and Bush ...
uhmmm, what happened to the pelosi story? afraid to post it cnn? you had it on here all day till hoyer dumped her.. you guys are soooo obvious. you would have more credibility if you would just be more fair and balanced... and you wonder why your ratings are in the toilet...
Will all former administrations, including Clinton, who did the exact same thing be required to testify?
When Hillary fired all the staff in the travel bureau to put her people in it was O'K. Yes travel is different but its the same action!!!!!!!!!!

So, if this is true, why would anyone be surprised. Democrats do it, and Republicans do it. Lots of very dishonest people up there in government and it starts from the top and works its way down to the bottom.
Will Rove be under oath? If not, he will never tell the truth about his involvement. Remember how he wiggled out of being indicted in the Plame case.
I hope this is change that we can believe in. Karl Rove has thumbed his nose at the Constitution and the American people for 8 years. Let's see if this "talk" is going to make a difference. Probably not.
In scanning this evening's "political ticker", I can't help but notice articles re: Rush Limplip's tussle w/ McCain's mom, followed by Col. Klink's (Karl Rove's) involvement in the firing of U.S. Attorneys, followed by Cindy McCain's latest statement about the Republican Partie's leadership, followed by...... What a mess. Entertaining, if sad, for the 2 party system.
What can they possibly imagine getting out of this man? He lies with every breath of his body. If he was able to get a 'functioning moron' elected TWICE with his lies, what chance does the American public have of getting an iota of truth??
Good luck getting him to answer
That fat pig belongs in jail, along with Cheney & Co.
Hmmmmm....why is the Pelosi article not open for comments?
aCorNN strikes again
Drip,drip drip- keep that finger in the dyke Mr. Rove. I love the part on Law & Order when the low life at the bottom rats out the low life higher up. The best part is there are only a couple higher up.
He is one creeeepy guy (?).
