Karl Rove Directly Involved In US Atty Firing

;This is what Talking Points Memo and other purely journalistic blogs — but with a liberal/progressive agenda — are all about.
At a time when Jay Carney and his boss over at Time Magazine — not to mention the rest of the mainstream press — were telling us "nothing to see here folks, move along," Josh Marshall and his crew kept on it like pit bulls.
Why? Because for the White House or anyone on the political side to directly interfere with Department of Justice actions or procedures is flagrantly illegal.
But read it for yourself.
Sample:

Perhaps the key takeaway from the just released documents on the U.S. attorney firings is this:
Karl Rove claimed recently that he and his staff acted merely as a conduit for passing on concerns about David Iglesias. But it's now clear that Rove's office pushed from 2005 for Iglesias to be canned, and was intimately involved in the decision.
Now, Mr. Fitzpatrick (Fitzgerald?), how about those missing Liddy emails?
