As the worm turns....

There are clues from the past about Rove's present date with the grand jury. It doesn't look good for old Karl. As noted in the Village Voice, it seems that there are several concerns for the investigators including Rove's truthfulness (or lack thereof), and the appearance of impropriety in the handling of the investigation by John Ashcroft. Rep. John Conyers noted that the Ashcroft had wel documented conflicts of interest in this matter, particulary regarding his relationship with Rove. Rove was employed by Ashcroft throughout his political career and had advocated for Ashcroft's appt to the Attorney General post. Not only that, but many Ashcroft's "inner circle" also were familiar with Rove and had worked closely with him.
This should get even more interesting as time goes by...
