White House OK'ed Sampson Statement on Rove
By Paul Kiel - March 28, 2007, 7:12 PM

Earlier, I flagged an email in the documents that showed Kyle Sampson preparing to run his letter to Congress by the White House.

The letter stated, "The Department is not aware of Karl Rove playing any role in the decision to appoint Griffin." Sampson told fellow Justice Department officials that "because this letter mentions Rove and alludes to Harriet, I'd like to send it to the for their review..."

The statement itself is one Sampson's own emails show to be false. In an email Sampson wrote in December to one Christopher Oprison, associate counsel to the President, Sampson told Oprison that Griffin's appointment was "important to Harriet, Karl, etc."

So back in December, Sampson told Oprison of Karl Rove's and Harriet Miers' role in Griffin's hiring.

So Sampson knew of Rove's and Miers's role in Griffin's hiring. He told a lawyer in the White House Counsel's Office of their role in December. And in February he wants the same White House Counsel's Office to sign off on a letter to Congress claiming Rove and Miers had no role.

3. That last paragraph sounds like subornation of perjury to me.
