Putting Karl where he needs to be has been the work of numerous folks in Congress and the media. Take a look at Larisa Alexandrovna's investigative pieces.
And here's the piece from Raw Story on yesterday's story:
Invoking President Barack Obama, House Judiciary Committee Chairman
John Conyers (D-MI) has subpoenaed former Bush Deputy Chief of Staff
Karl Rove about his alleged involved in the political prosecution of an
Alabama governor and the firings of nine US Attorneys.
The subpoena, approved by an earlier vote of the House, was issued pursuant to "authority granted in H.R. 5 (111th Congress), and calls for Mr. Rove to appear at deposition on Monday, February 2, 2009."
Specifically, it enjoins Rove "to testify regarding his role in the Bush Administration’s politicization of the Department of Justice, including the US Attorney firings and the prosecution of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman."
