"PERJURY TRAP"

I first heard about this from Mark "Foamer" Levin. According to him, Libby was unfairly convicted of having a bad memory and the Democrats in Congress was to ensnare Rove in a "perjury trap" by having him testify under oath. I don't know if Levin thought this up all on his own but I did find one reference by Laura Ingraham on Hannity & Colmes, Tuesday, March 20, 2007:

INGRAHAM: Absolutely. And the president is exactly right. What's going on here is Chuck Schumer and Pat Leahy have their little hands, and they're rubbing their little hands together, because they think if they get Karl Rove under oath, they can back him into a perjury prosecution. That's what they want to do. It's outrageous.

HANNITY: That's what they want to do and to allow his staff to be set up that way would be a huge mistake. I think the president was right.

INGRAHAM: He was.

O'Reilly (and we know that idiot didn't think of this on his own) said the same thing on his show of March 20, 2007:

O'REILLY: You got to be up front and you got to explain why these people were fired in this climate.

But I think this is all about the perjury trap. Karl Rove and Harriet Myers, two of the president's advisers, are going to have to go up and testify before Congress. And they don't want to put them under oath because they don't want these guys to be trapped into a crime.

NAPOLITANO: Look, the Democrats were hoping against hope that Patrick Fitzgerald would indict Karl Rove. When he didn't indict Karl Rove, they're looking for an opportunity to get him under oath so they can ask him whatever they want.

O'REILLY: Right.
