Turd Blossom Gives Up the Goods

In case you hadn’t already heard, Karl Rove is cooperating with Fitzy in his CIA leak inquiry. I must admit, it doesn’t surprise me too much—a rat rats—but some of what he’s providing to prosecutors is certainly interesting in that it reveals just how dirty this administration actually is. Again, no surprise, but it’s odd nonetheless to have it confirmed. (Raw Story’s information was confirmed by The Washington Note.)

According to several Pentagon sources close to Rove and others familiar with the inquiry, Bush's senior adviser tipped off Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald to information that led to the recent "discovery" of 250 pages of missing email from the office of Vice President Dick Cheney…

Rove is providing information on deleted emails, erased hard drives and other types of obstruction by staff and other officials in the Vice President's office. Pentagon sources close to Rove confirmed this account.

None would name the staffers and/or officials whom Rove is providing information about. They did, however, explain that the White House computer system has "real time backup" servers and that while emails were deleted from computers, they were still retrievable from the backup system. By providing the dates and recipient information of the deleted emails, sources say, Rove was able to chart a path for Fitzgerald directly into the office of the Vice President.
I hope that office’s scumbag of a resident gets exactly what’s coming to him.
