Karl Rove recently took issue with a program relating to the Siegelman case. Abrams has responded and pressed for answers to questions Rove has thus far refused to answer, including these below.

#
Do you know why your lawyer told us that you would testify about this case if you were subpoenaed but now, after you have been invited to do so, he states that there are issues of executive privilege: “Whether, when and about what a former White House official will testify … is not for me or my client to decide” he said.
#
You have said you never spoke with the White House about the case. If true, what is the possible “executive privilege?”
#
You ask why I did not further question one of my guests when he discussed your effort to help now Governor Riley in his campaign. Did you consult in any way with Riley or anyone else working with him on the campaign?
#
Did you ever discuss, with anyone, the possibility of media leaks about the Siegelman case? Did you speak with any members of the media about Siegelman during his campaign?

These guys get a lot of mileage out of ‘executive privilege’.
