Rove Linked to Alabama Case – TIME

A Republican lawyer claims she was told that Karl Rove — while serving as President Bush’s top political adviser — had intervened in the Justice Department’s prosecution of Alabama�s most prominent Democrat. Longtime Alabama G.O.P. activist Dana Jill Simpson first made the allegation in June, but has now provided new details in a lengthy sworn statement to the House Judiciary Committee. The Committee is expected to hold public hearings on the Alabama case next week as part of its investigation of possible political interference by the Bush Administration in the activities of the Department of Justice.

Hmm. But we don’t have Karl Rove to kick around anymore, because he very conveniently retired in the dog days of August. And this Republican lawyer doesn’t seem to have the dirt first hand. So there will probably a lot of sound and fury, signifying nothing in the long run.

But a voter’s gotta hope, or what’s an indictment for?
