Draft of 2/22 Letter from DoJ to Senator Reid, Addressing Concerns About Hiring of Tim Griffin

"The Department is not aware of Karl Rove playing any role in the decision to appoint Mr. Griffin."

Uhm, wow. Just... AM I TAKING CRAZY PILLS? It's like a lie so blatant you have to make sure you're not wrong yourself.

From this group of docs. Pg 10 or so.

And, for the have-to-see-to-believe folks:

UPDATE: It's so easy, even a blogger can do it: From a Dec. 19, 2006 email from Kyle Sampson to Monica Goodling (in the WH): He "know[s] that getting [Griffin] appointed was important to Harriet, Karl, etc."
