For example, if the prosecutor knows that Rove did not have clearance for the knowledge of Plame being covert, then Rove cannot be prosecuted (fired, yes.) If so, he would not be a subject. So your statement implies that you know that Rove had such official clearnace. When did this become public? Per my reading of things that is still a big question. > > > > The really interesting thing LD brought out is that the ONLY way > > Rove or anyone can be convicted is if they have official clearance > to > > have known V Plame was an operative.

Or who told his source. The person in the chain who DOES HAVE official clearance DID break the law -- if the other conditions are met. That could be Chenney, Tennet or Bush. So the plot thickens.
