From the invaluable Jane Hamsher at FireDogLake, the ultimate Karl Rove Timeline.
FROM:
July 9, 2003 — Robert Novak and Karl Rove speak about Valerie Wilson, according to Murray Waas (12/16/05). Accounts of this call differ, per Novak (10/1/03) and a Rove-friendly Washington Post story (7/15/05).
TO:
April 26, 2006 — Rove appears for the fifth time before the grand jury (AP).
– "Rove… testified to the grand jury that when he told Cooper that Plame worked at the agency, he was only passing along unverified gossip.
"In contrast, Cooper has testified that Rove told him in a phone conversation on July 11, 2003, that Plame worked for the CIA and played a role in having the agency select her husband, former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson, to make a fact-finding trip to Niger in 2002." (Waas)
– "Rove testified that he would have had no motive to deliberately conceal his conversation with Cooper. "It would have been crazy" of Rove "to testify about [his conversations with Bob Novak] but not testify about the Cooper conversation," says this source, who adds that Rove would have known he would be "stepping into a perjury trap."
