What Did the President Know?

Now that special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald is said to have
expanded his investigation into the leak of a CIA agent's identity to
encompass a possible White House coverup, what the president and the
vice president knew would appear to be much more relevant.
Fitzgerald interviewed both President Bush and Vice President Cheney
more than a year ago, at what seemed at the time like the tail end of
his investigation into the leak of CIA agent Valerie Plame's identity.
Bush and Cheney were not placed under oath -- the reasoning apparently
being that they had no direct involvement in the potential criminal
activity under investigation: the leak itself.
We don't know much about either interview, beyond the fact that Bush
had his personal attorney at his side.
But now Fitzgerald's investigation appears to have turned its focus to
discrepancies in the testimony of White House senior adviser Karl Rove
and vice presidential chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.
Fitzgerald may be trying to determine whether evidence exists to bring
perjury or obstruction of justice charges.
And that raises the issue of what -- if anything -- Rove and Libby
told Bush and Cheney about their roles.
So does that mean Fitzgerald might call Bush and Cheney to testify
before the grand jury -- under oath?
Might he even have done so already?
We have no idea, of course, because the White House isn't saying
anything at all about the investigation anymore.
Either way, the CIA leak story is taking on more and more of the
trappings of the classic Washington political scandal -- the saving
grace for Bush being that his party controls Congress, and that thus
far, Republicans have closed ranks behind him.
But get ready for more and more talk about the parallels between this
story and the Clinton intern scandal -- and of course, Watergate.
We're already hearing some of the prototypical questions being raised.
Here's former presidential adviser David Gergen, on ABC's "This Week"
yesterday:
"What did the president know and when did he know it?"

You are one confused liar. President Bush was never AWOL. You must have him
confused with BubbA Klinton who ran away when he was drafted.

You are one confused liar.
You steal a persons identity and then call him a confused lair.
You're about as fucked up as they come kid.

It's a pretty safe bet George WMD Bush didn't, and doesn't, know anything.
