I didn't see this anywhere so a quick diary on this (please don't say "go to open thread").
This is from Collective Bellacio.
Rove Was Fired For Leaking A Damaging Story About GOP Fundraiser. Esquire's Ron Suskind reported that, "Sources close to the former president [George H.W. Bush] say Rove was fired from the 1992 Bush presidential campaign after he planted a negative story with columnist Robert Novak about dissatisfaction with campaign fundraising chief and Bush loyalist Robert Mosbacher Jr. It was smoked out, and he was summarily ousted." [White House Briefing, 9/29/03; Esquire, 1/2003 Issue]
And this one, which comes out in Newsweek next week, shows a White House in crisis mode (Kos, if you see this, you said Capital Hill Blue
was not a reliable source, maybe this time they were..)
White House "Concerned" That Rove is Focus of Prosecutor's Investigation. According to Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, Rove has testified before the Grand Jury "two or three times." According to a lawyer "representing clients sympathetic to the White House", Rove's repeated visits to the Grand Jury has begun to make the administration "concerned" that Rove is a target of the special prosecutor.
