I haven't followed the Foley scandal in detail. Is Rove one of the party leaders who knew about Foley? If not, then this isn't important.

There are a couple points here: 1. We don't know who knew what when with any certainty, but any skeletons that were known were certainly discussed in party strategy. People get paid to consider all the options and know where trouble might lie. 2. Given #1, it seems likely people involved in strategizing, and Hastert certainly would heve been one, made a choice to keep him on despite his predelictions.

However, an equally telling remark is this: I do, but they're scared of losing the House and the thought of two years of Congressional hearings."

If you've nothing to hide, you don't worry about congressional hearings, do you? And, you don't make laws that retroactively protect you from existing laws, do you? (Which I believe to be unconstitutional...)
