New The President's pleasure.
. . . explain what you did and why you did it.

Rove to unnamed DOJ official during a coaching session to prepare for congressional testimony. [link|http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18479265/site/newsweek/|Link].

FWIW and IMO the essential problem the Administration has in this matter is that serving at the pleasure of the President has the corrolary that the decision and ultimate responsibility on who/why to fire had to come from that office.

A simple question of who added the names to the list of those to be fired is yet to be answered. Until that is answered the reason they were added to the list can only be deduced. I [link|http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/003153.php|deduce] Rove. And if it's Rove, the answer to "why" is extremely likely to be to gain election advantage. It's what he does. It's all he does.

You can fire an at will employee for good cause or no cause, but not bad cause.

New But at that point....
why becomes unimportant(*).

Because then the issue is that someone who isn't the President and isn't in the chain-of-events is putting people on the list to be fired.

(Of course, they'll treat it different...after all, we're not talking Clinton here.)














(*) Actually not true either - depending on WHEN it occurred. There was a time where Rove was going to be looked at for the Plame affair.
