Jane says the word on the street is that Viveca Novak earned the opportunity to testify before Patrick Fitzgerald because she told her very good buddy Robert Luskin in May, 2004 that his client Karl Rove was Matt Cooper's source, and Luskin is now claiming this conversation jogged Rove's memory and caused him to go looking for his now-famous email to Stephen Hadley.

Jeralyn thinks Rove is still trying to squirm his way out of a perjury and/or obstruction charge, which I tend to agree with. However, if this is true, you have to wonder if Ms. Novak bothered to mention this conversation to her bosses and co-workers at Time Magazine up until now. I wonder if she will cover this when she writes up her adventures in her post-testimony story?
