Prosecutor Insists White House Remain Silent ... Huh?
Amidst Scotty's pathetic presser this a.m., one bizarre fact has almost escaped scrutiny. McScotty claimed the Special Prosecutor asked the White House not to talk about the Plame matter. WTF??
You don't have to watch The First 48 to know good investigative work includes keeping your suspects and their associates talking. Yeah, they read them the right to remain silent, but they discourage them to invoke it.
McClellan's initial statements that Rove told him he was not involved in the leak is powerful evidence for attacking Rove's credibility and circumstantial evidence that Rove was covering up something he considered wrong.
No prosecutor in his right mind would cut off this pipeline of information and possible evidence. So are we to disbelieve Scotty? Or should we begin questioning the integrity of Fitzgerald's investigation? At present, I lean toward the former.
