Rove now claims he wasn't one that broke Plame's cover
Chief presidential adviser Karl Rove testified to a grand jury that he talked with two journalists before they divulged the identity of a CIA officer but that he originally learned about the operative from the news media and not government sources, according to a person briefed on the testimony.
Rove testified that Novak told him he planned to report in a weekend column that Plame had worked for the CIA, and the circumstances on how her husband traveled to Africa to check bogus claims that Iraq was trying to buy nuclear materials in Niger, according to the source.
Interesting turn, Rove is now claiming he learned that Plame was CIA from Novak and not the other way around. If this is true then Rove is probably free from legal consequences, though he still deserves to fired.
