Remember back during the C.I.A. Leak [Valerie Plame] era, Karl Rove had gone to testify several times to Patrick Fitzgerald’s Grand Jury [and apperently lied]? Then his lawyer had lunch with Time Magazine reporter, Viveca Novak, who tipped him off that Matt Cooper had fingered him as a source. So Rove magically found an email to Stephen Hadley [not turned in with his documents] that "jogged his memory" and he went back and admitted talking to Matt Cooper. Apparently it’s kosher to go back and correct mistatements to a Grand Jury. So he escaped a perjury indictment by the skin of his teeth.
In the Comments, emptywheel, MadDog, WilliamOckham, bmaz, Rayne, readerOfTeaLeaves, and others do their incredible parsing and sleuthing. We’ve not heard the end of this yet – as they begin to work on the new releases to figure out more and more about the White House subtrafuge [recall, this is the "Case of the Missing White House email"].
