Also, as for the timing of this announcement...

From this morning's ABC's The Note:

The Wall Street Journal's Cummings and Bravin have the timing issue most brazenly paraded: "Some White House advisers [Note the weasel word!!] are urging the president to expedite his announcement to deflect attention from a growing scandal."

"'The Rove situation has accelerated it,' said a Republican lawyer who consults the White House on judicial issues. 'They would like to get something that will knock it off the front page.'"
