Bush WH counsel Fielding wrote to Rove's attorney, Luskin, saying even after Bush left office Rove should not appear before the Judiciary Committee.
This is just too much. There is absolutely no precedent for a white house assistant to flat out refuse to even appear before Congress. (Except for Bolten and Meiers, but that's really just the same instance). I'd call that contempt per se. I certainly hope the Obama administration makes clear to Luskin that when the contempt citations are issued, the new Main Justice will comply with the law and present them to the grand jury. Whereupon, Karl, Josh and Harriett will be arrested and jailed. Unless they wise up and appear, that is.
