Novak again asserted that Armitage's role in leak case exonerates Rove
August 14, 2007 7:25 pm ET
SUMMARY: In a column discussing
Karl Rove's resignation, Robert D. Novak asserted that
"[a]lthough [special counsel Patrick] Fitzgerald knew from the start that not
Rove but the politically nondescript Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage
was my primary source in identifying Valerie Plame as a CIA employee, the
prosecutor came close to indicting Rove for perjury or obstruction of justice."
However, Rove confirmed
the information Armitage divulged, as Novak himself has admitted.
