Karl Rove is worried

Karl Rove, the former top adviser to President George W. Bush,
admitted to Fox News ,
the "unfair" and "imbalanced" agency
which has recently served as his sanctuary,
he is worried about his appearance before the House Judiciary Committee.

Not so long ago Rove was defiant.
Rove defied the House subpoena and failed to show up
for his scheduled testimony.
Rove wasn't talking ..
........ except on Fox News.
Rove claimed Bush's assertion of executive privilege "obligates" him to disregard the Congressional order,
and couldn't conceal his contempt of Congress.

Rove is now trying to deflect attention
onto "other" former Bush officials,
" I understand White House Counsel Harriet Miers and Chief of Staff Josh Bolten were involved in the scandal ! "
The defiant advisor has turned into a quivering coward ,
perhaps ready to rat out former members
of The Bush/Cheney Administration.

Rove said. "Some Democrats would love to have me barbecued."

Karl Rove will finally testify, under oath, before the House Judiciary Committee.
Rove ignored subpoenas,
but now it seems he isn't above the law.

"I have long said that I would see this matter through to the end and am encouraged that we have finally broken through the Bush Administration's claims of absolute immunity. This is a victory for the separation of powers and congressional oversight. It is also a vindication of the search for truth. I am determined to have it known whether U.S. Attorneys in the Department of Justice were fired for political reasons, and if so, by whom."

Congressman John Conyers, Chairman,
Federal Judiciary Committee

The Church Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities was created by Congress in 1975 to investigate abuses of The Nixon Administration in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal.

Congress determined to ascertain the extent to which the nation's intelligence agencies had been involved in questionable, if not outright illegal, activities. The era of minimal oversight came to an end ,
only to be restored later by Reagan and succeeding Republican presidents.

Now things have come full circle ,
as The Bush Administration's practices have made the offenses of The Nixon White House look tame by comparison.
Do not be too sure Congressional Investigations involving Rove won't happen ,
as Congress is preparing for an inquiry and Rove is again scheduled to testify.
And remember, certain key members of the Nixon staff did wind up in prison.
Rove knows this , and it is why now Karl Rove is worried.
