Rovak Conspiracy

The Shit Gets Deeper
Well, well, how deep is the well? It seems that the Rove/Novak (Rovak) combo have been collaborating for years...

Rove Fired for Leak in '92

“Just a quick entry as I haven't seen this covered. Rove was fired from the Bush-Quayle campaign for leaking to Novak.
"Karl Rove was fired from the 1992 re-election campaign of Bush Sr. for allegedly leaking a negative story about Bush loyalist/fundraiser Robert Mosbacher to Novak. Novak's piece described a meeting organized by then-Senator Phil Gramm at which Mosbacher was relieved of his duties as state campaign manager because "the president's re-election effort in Texas has been a bust." Rove was fired after Mosbacher fingered him as Novak's source." Story here:”

“Karl Rove and Novak: They've Talked Before
Rove fired from Bush Sr.’s '92 campaign over leak to Novak. Karl Rove was fired from the 1992 re-election campaign of Bush Sr. for allegedly leaking a negative story about Bush loyalist/fundraiser Robert Mosbacher to Novak. Novak's piece described a meeting organized by then-Senator Phil Gramm at which Mosbacher was relieved of his duties as state campaign manager because "the president's re-election effort in Texas has been a bust." Rove was fired after Mosbacher fingered him as Novak's source.
Rove was the ‘only one with a motive to leak’: Mosbacher says: ‘I said Rove is the only one with a motive to leak this. We let him go.’ The motive in question? Mosbacher had given Rove only a quarter of the $1 million spent on direct mail contracts for the 92 campaign; Rove, who in 1988 had the entire direct mail contract, therefore had an axe to grind with Mosbacher. Novak's column stated: ‘Also attending the session was political consultant Karl Rove, who had been shoved aside by Mosbacher.’
Mosbacher still says Rove did it: Although Novak and Rove continue to deny Rove was the source of the leak, Mosbacher recently stated ‘I still believe he did it.’
