...Bush's letter will do little to placate those who suspect a cover-up. On Capitol Hill investigations continue into the matter. In a recent deposition at the House Committee on government oversight, staffers asked Karl Rove's former executive assistant what she knew about the Valerie Plame leak case. After a little thought, the assistant, Susan Ralston, said she had a "vague recollection that [Rove] and Scooter Libby talked about this subject often."

...House e-mails is a woman who used to be one of the most powerful secretaries in the world.

Some Democrats, though, still suspect the cagey Ralston is trying for the ultimate testimonial trifecta: getting immunity, satisfying investigators and protecting Rove...
...This week the Senate Judiciary committee issued subpoenas for two key White House officials as part of that effort. The subpoenas aim to pry more information on the firing of former U.S. Attorney Bud Cummins in Missouri and his replacement by Tim Griffin, a long-time operative for Karl Rove...
