Ever since it was disclosed that Rove received a draft of Novak’s column on July 11th I have been wondering about what activity took place in the 3 Days between when Rove got this draft and when the article appeared in the NYT.

Over at Firedoglake they point out 2 key events that happened during that window.

First, July 11th was the day Rove called Cooper and leaked to Cooper that Wilson’s wife was a CIA agent. Second, it was on July 12th that Ari told Walter Pincus of the Washington Post that Wilson’s wife was a CIA agent. Why is this important? Because the Bush Whitehouse wanted to make sure that “everybody” knew this prior to the Novak column being printed. Is there any wonder that Ari lawyered up right away and struck an immunity deal?

My nose told me that those 3 days were important and this news shows just how important those 3 days are.

You know Libby is dead meat when his attorney says “he didn’t leak to anyone”. That is tantamount to Bush claiming after the Iraq war had been raging for 3 years that he had to invade Iraq because “Saddam wouldn’t let the (UN) inspectors in”. Both statements are weasle words that attempt to justify commiting a crime. Jail time is the proper remedy. No out on bond pending appeal while waiting for the December 2008 pardon.
