Law
Billmon is the man!
Well, it looks like someone took Billmon's advice:
There is a great story out there waiting to be written, and I can even give you the lead:White House political director Karl Rove, currently under suspicion for divulging the name of a CIA undercover agent, was paid more than $__________ by the Senate campaigns of Attorney General John Ashcroft, the man charged with investigating the scandal.
In "Ashcroft, Rove ties scrutinized," MSNBC reports:
A COMPANY controlled by Rove, who stands accused by the CIA officer's husband of at least condoning the leak, was paid more than $300,000 by Ashcroft's 1994 Senate campaign in Missouri for direct mail work and other servicesi, the New York Times reported Friday, citing campaign finance data.
Well, Billmon, does that qualify? I think it does indeed.
Good news on a Friday morning. But, um, not so much for Ashcroft, Rove or their supporters, I suppose. Hee.
