Did Rove Lie to the FBI? Maybe

From Murray Waas: Karl Rove did not disclose that he had ever discussed CIA officer Plame w/ Time magazine reporter Matt Cooper during Rove's 1st interview w/ the FBI, according to legal sources w/ firsthand knowledge of the matter. This omission by Rove created doubt for fedr'l investigators, almost from the get-go of their criminal probe into who leaked Plame's name to columnist Robert Novak, as to whether Rove was withholding crucial information from them, and perhaps even misleading or lying to them, the sources said. Josh of TPM says this: If Murray Waas's sources are right, Karl Rove is in a ton of trouble, even if he did nothing more than we know already. If what Murray Waas says is true, Rove is going to be on the hook for obstruction of justice & violation of 18 U.S.C. 1001- the crime Martha Stewart went to jail for.
