Billmon: Cat Got His Tongue

Even if Rove somehow managed to skirt the edge of the law in his little chats with reporters about Joe Wilson's wife, and even if he did tell the grand jury the truth about those conversations (or at least, didn't commit any perjuries on which he could be caught out) there's still the question of why it took an FBI agent waiving a subpoena to finally pull the truth out of him.

I mean, it's obvious now that Rove had important and relevant information about the outing of Valerie Plame, even if he himself wasn't criminally liable. He knew that Plame worked for the CIA before Bob Novak published his column. He knew she worked on WMD issues. How did he find these things out? Who told him?
