Rove Lawyer: Likely Early June For US Attorneys Testimony
By Zachary Roth - May 7, 2009, 9:08AM

Karl Rove's long-awaited testimony before Congress about the US Attorney firings will likely occur around early June, according to Rove's lawyer.

Robert Luskin told TPMmuckraker that the Obama White House has been painstakingly sorting through the documents related to the firings, and is providing them to Rove and to the House Judiciary committee simultaneously. It's that process, said Luskin, that's driving the scheduling of Rove's testimony. Luskin stressed that the discussions have been cordial on all sides.

After the announcement in early March of the agreement securing Rove's testimony -- which will also cover the Don Siegelman case -- Luskin had suggested that we'd be hearing from Rove in "several weeks," though he declined to be more specific. But clearly, the process is taking longer than anticipated.

1. Let's hope this testimony does not get stalled again.

2. Est. date for anything useful/truthful from Rove's lips - never. N/T

3. Rove, you little weasel.

Traveling all across the country collecting fees to speak yet you can't be bothered to answer to the American people. If I had a hundred to bet I would place it on you as a no show for June or any other date.

4. Bush's People Tell Fairy Tales

when they "testify" anyway. What good will it do to get this liar to 'testify'? He'll just cross his fingers when he takes the oath to tell the truth.

6. IF they make him take the oath.

I don't think one of the *astards has taken the oath thus far.

5. Too late. Incarcerate Rove now for contempt, treason and criminal ugliness.
