Former Bush Press Secretary Scott McClellan says that Presidential advisor Karl Rove should have been fired over his role in the Valerie Plame case during an interview with Tim Russert on 6/01/08.
I liked & admired Tim Russert A LOT. He was lied about by Scooter Libby. Libby said that Russert 'outted' Valerie Plame to him on the phone . Pat Fitzgerald wanted Tim to testify. NBC's lawyers tried to stop it, based on confidentiality of sources 1st Amendment right that press industry uses. Eventually Tim had to testify & truth came out under oath. Russert testified that he did NOT DISCUSS & did NOT LEAK Valerie Plame to Libby in that conversation. Fitz used this to indict Libby for perjury!

Shows to go you, McClellan is a novice who truly believed in GWB. Been with him since Texas and truly believed GWB was honorable. Poor guy.
