Will KKKarl Rove's promotion give him presidential privilege protection
should there be questions about any of his activities in behalf of W?
Does assistant to the president, deputy chief of staff and senior adviser fall into the category covered by presidential privilege? If so, could this be the reason for his recent elevation to that position?

1. I don't know, but he didn't seem to have any accountability in his
old position either. The Bushies take presidential privilege a lot farther than it was intended to go.

2. AHA! I think it's all fitting together now.
Thank you. I'm not sure that is the case, but it sounds like a good bet.

7. KKKarl is not technically covered by Presidential privilege
But they are very skilled at lying and coverups, laws don't matter to them.

All Congress Reps and officials though have to adhere to certain confidentiality codes. For instance, if they are privy to certain documents that are designated as 'security classified' or whatever the term is, they cannot disclose that info to the public.

8. B*sh will do anything
to build a wall to stop anyone ever from questioning him or anyone near him of what they are doing behind close doors. The preemptive strike of Iraq and all of the prisoner abuses shows that they all believe that they are above the law. Seems they also believe that they can write their way out of being responsible for their evil ways. They will one day have to pay when a real investigation is done!!!

10. I don't think he'll run
Or have any chance in running. He doesn't seem like that type of person to run for political office. There's way too much dirt on him.
