Go ahead and get familiar with the name Susan Ralston - Robert Novak seems to believe she may soon cause some problems for Karl Rove.
You see, Susan Ralston used to be an assistant to Jack Abramoff, and in 2001 he recommended her for the position of executive assistant to Karl Rove. She got the job and became Rove's gatekeeper - a very sensitive position, to be sure. And now she's requesting immunity before Rep. Henry Waxman's (D-CA) Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
For Waxman, she is a link between the disgraced, imprisoned Abramoff and Rove, a principal political target of the Democratic-controlled Congress.
Novak implies she may be seeking immunity for her own protection, and that she very well may not have the incriminating information Waxman is seeking. He may be right...but the situation definitely bears watching.
