Karl Rove attended 6 colleges without ever getting a degree, He later went on to teach graduate students.
Mr Rove was one of the biggest holders of Enron stock among White House staffers, with between $100,000 and $250,000 worth of shares when he was appointed. The White House has acknowledged that Mr Rove took part in the secret meetings that helped shape the Bush government’s energy policy, while he still held Enron shares and stock in other energy companies.

Said, by some, to be the most powerful presidential advisor in a century. Said, by more, to be the chief instigator of dirty tricks and character assassination campaigns against those who challenge the policies of the Bush administration. He earned his stripes first as an apprentice of Richard Nixon's dirty trickster, Donald Segretti. Rove then went on to hone and refine his duplicitous craft under Republican National Committee chairmen George H. W. Bush, Lee Atwater, and, finally, George W. Bush.

After trashing the personal character of former Texas Democratic Governors Mark White and Ann Richards, Texas Democratic Representative Lloyd Doggett, and Arizona Republican Senator John McCain, Rove now uses his tricks to assassinate the characters of noble and non-political men and women. Recent victims have been PFC Jessica Lynch, CIA agent Valerie Plame, former Marine Corps officer Scott Ritter, retired Marine Corps General Anthony Zinni, and Iraqi War commander General Tommy Franks.
Over the years, Rove has relied on the planting of bogus stories in the media, production of counterfeit documents, the theft of campaign materials and internal documents, production of false witnesses, electronic eavesdropping, misuse of government resources, unethical political polling techniques, intimidation of minority voters, and "whispering campaigns" to advance the sordid agenda of the neo-conservative, extreme right wing of the Republican Party.

He doesn't deserve a trial. He's not human, he's a weasel. He's partly responsible for tens of thousands of women and children being murdered !!!!! I say "OFF WITH HIS HEAD".

Rove will get his due process before prison.
But Fitzgerald has already established that Official A (Rove) leaked Plame's name to at least one reporter. The only issue is why he did it (we know why) and if he lied about it (claims he forgot, very flimsy excuse which judges hate).

Rove was also very tied in with Enron. He's a crook.
