It isn’t just former GOP Congresswoman Heather Wilson who has her name getting put through the press for the wrong reasons. Former state Republican Party chairman Allen Weh has his name in the David Iglesias firing case, the one that state Republicans wish would just go away.
From TPM Muckraker:
According to the transcript of the interview, Rove said that his top aide, Scott Jennings, was “freelancing” in trying to get David Iglesias fired in the summer of 2005. Rove told his interviewers that Jennings “had strong feelings about Iglesias” after having done political work in New Mexico.
But the documents show that Rove was aware of Jennings’s discussions with Allen Weh, the New Mexico GOOP [sic] chair, on the subject of firing Igesias. Indeed, when Rove got an email from Weh on the subject, in August 2005, he ordered Jennings to bring up the issue with the White House counsel’s office.
Transcripts of George W. Bush senior advisor Karl Rove and former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Harriet Miers interviews were released yesterday by the House Judiciary Committee.
