The grand jury investigating the CIA leak case pressed White House senior adviser Karl Rove yesterday to more fully explain his conversations with reporters about CIA operative Valerie Plame, including discrepancies between his testimony and the account provided by a key witness in the investigation, according to a source familiar with Rove‘s account.

Making his fourth appearance before the grand jury, Rove answered a broad range of questions for 4 ½ hours, including why he did not initially tell federal agents about a July 2003 conversation about Plame with the witness, Time magazine’s Matthew Cooper, the source said.

So maybe, at the end of it all, after four times before the grand jury, plausible deniability just won’t cut it for Rove?
