Reply #22: I called it! I told you that Novak thing WASN'T EVEN A HAIL MARY.

Once you reviewed the facts, there was no hope in the world that it could have improved anything for Rove. It might have helped the lawyer, but not the client. The lawyer can always claim that his client lied to him, and that's the only benefit I saw in Novak's testimony. Because Rove's lawyer can now say that he had no idea that Rove was involved until that point, and once he discovered it, he went back to Rove to advise him to tell the truth, which, of course, he delayed doing.
