Rove's Contingency Plans Include Forming Spin Team [View All]

[JABBS]

(With reports that Senior White House Advisor Karl Rove) "would not be charged ... but would remain under investigation, Rove himself was making contingency plans, which included having allies begin to assemble a legal and political team in case he is eventually indicted.

Mark Corallo, a former spokesman for the Justice Department, would be part of the public relations defense team, according to a person familiar with the plan. Corallo is no stranger to high-profile defenses. He was spokesman for former representative Bob Livingston (R-LA), who was forced to step aside as the incoming speaker of the House in 1998 after admitting an extramarital affair."
