Rove is guilty. Why is he still working at the White House?

In this ABCNews article, Matthew Cooper, one of the reporters involved in the Valerie Plame scandal had this to say when asked who his source was:
One of the reporters at the center of the investigation into the leak of the identity of an undercover CIA officer, says he first learned the agent's name from President Bush's top political advisor, Karl Rove.

Time magazine reporter Matt Cooper also said today in an interview with "Good Morning America," that the vice president's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, confirmed to him that Ambassador Joseph Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, was a CIA operative.
...
There is no question. I first learned about Valerie Plame working at the CIA from Karl Rove," Cooper said.

Libby has since claimed that he heard the Plame rumors from other reporters. Cooper disputed that version of events. "I don't remember it happening that way," he said. "I was taking notes at the time and I feel confident."

If a trial goes ahead, Cooper said he would name Rove as his source of the information.

"Before I spoke to Karl Rove I didn't know Mr. Wilson had a wife and that she had been involved in sending him to Africa."
Why is Karl Rove still working in the White House? His name has been linked to a CIA agent outing scandal time and again, but he still has his top level post in the most powerful government in the world during a time of war, and still has access to national-security-level classified information.

Where is the outrage?! Can we think of any other president so spineless, ineffectual, arrogant, and dangerous that he keeps a traitor on his side during wartime? I believe even Reagan and Nixon weren't so stupid, insane, or crazy.

You're doing a heck of a job George. Curious to see what your legacy is going to look like in a few years.
