Conyers to Rove: Explain Plame Role or Resign

Raw Story has a copy of letter being circulated to other House Democrats for signature today by Rep. John Conyers:

Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, calls on Bush adviser Karl Rove to explain his role in the outing of a CIA agent or resign his office.

"We write in order to urge that you require your Deputy White House Chief of Staff, Karl Rove, to either come forward immediately to explain his role in the Valerie Plame matter or to resign from your Administration," the veteran Democrat writes. "High-ranking members of your Administration who are involved in any effort to smear a private citizen or to disseminate information regarding a CIA operative should be expected to meet a far higher standard of ethical behavior and forthrightness."

Tick, tick, tick. So what do you think the odds are that Karl Rove goes to jail?
